“Can you spell hypocrite?” said former Gov. Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania, who contributed $4,000 to Ms. Warren in 2018 and is now supporting former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.

Mr. Rendell said he had recruited donors to attend an intimate fund-raising dinner for Ms. Warren last year at Barclay Prime, a Philadelphia steakhouse where the famed cheesesteak goes for $120. (The dish includes Wagyu rib-eye, foie gras, truffled cheese whiz and a half-bottle of champagne.) He said he received a “glowing thank-you letter” from Ms. Warren afterward.

But when Mr. Rendell co-hosted Mr. Biden’s first fund-raiser this spring, Ms. Warren’s campaign sent brickbats, deriding the affair as “a swanky private fund-raiser for wealthy donors,” the likes of which she now shuns.

“She didn’t have any trouble taking our money the year before,” Mr. Rendell said. “All of a sudden, we were bad guys and power brokers and influence-peddlers. In 2018, we were wonderful.”

OT but I'm surprised Rendell never ran for national office given how successful he was in PA.

How Elizabeth Warren Raised Big Money Before She Denounced Big Money
Ms. Warren wooed wealthy donors for years, stockpiling money from fund-raisers, and has used $10.4 million from her 2018 Senate race to underwrite her 2020 bid.

As Senator Elizabeth Warren has risen in the polls on a populist message, some donors are chafing at her campaign’s claims of being “100 percent grass-roots funded.”

I'm not exactly sure what the point of this article is. Seems like an attempt to paint progress as hypocrisy. I haven't seen any Warren supporters make the false claim that she always eschewed the standard big donor circuit. In fact, that's why it was exciting and newsworthy when she rolled out her new fundraising platform. But I guess these are the shots you gotta take when you climbing to the top :wow:

Word,
I thought all of this was common knowledge. She still haven’t violated her fundraising pledge because she not did do any big fundraiser since she made the announcement. It is a bullshyt attack. Now, it is fair to criticize the fact that she said she will take corporate money in the general.

TRUMP WON BY 90K VOTES. STFU ABOUT HIM BEING DARTH SIDIOUS LEVELS OF POWER YOU JACKASSES.


This.

Keep letting cable news fool you into thinking that imbecile is the '85 Bears of presidents. Trump is extremely unpopular. He has a 38% approval rating, and this is WITHOUT the added anchor of a recession.

Russian fukkery, voter suppression, and Dems fumbling at the goal line again are his biggest assets, and those can all be offset with increased turnout, which the mid-terms should have shown you.

No they won't :mjlol: Dems barely voted in 2018

I guarantee some percentage of Dems will be mad about whoever wins the primary and write-in their candidate and shyt

Yup just like 2016 when some Dems wrote 2Pac or Harambe thinking it was a game.

:mjgrin:
