Bachmann: Hillary Clinton Should Be ‘Extremely Concerned’ About Elizabeth Warren

Everyone who doesn’t want a boring Democratic primary with an uncontested, pre-coronated winner is hoping someone like Elizabeth Warren runs to challenge Hillary Clinton. And on Crossfire last night, Michele Bachmann weighed into the contest by saying that if Warren runs, she would attract lots of Democrats and that should make the Clinton camp nervous.

Bachmann said there’s no way Warren could pull Republican voters with some centrist populism, but did acknowledge “she will be an extremely attractive candidate for the Democrat voters in 2016.” And if she does, Bachmann added, “if I was Mrs. Clinton, I would be extremely concerned with what I see.”

1. This is the new tactic, I heard it earlier today on a radio show

righty pretends to like Warren and says Hillary better beware, etc.

They are hoping they can get the left to promote Warren which will somehow hurt Clinton

this came from Rove i am pretty sure

I say hell yes, let Warren run an aggressive campaign getting even more dems involved and ultimately at the polls in Nov to elect Hillary

3. Yup

It's a variation of the divide and conquer strategy I mentioned earlier today:

4. it's an extension of their message team's plan to divide her from the party

. . . and Warren will have a challenge in that effort described self-servingly by this campaign from the right in separating herself from her frequent support of Hillary. Not exactly the sharp contrast folks would expect from all of this talk.

Sanders is another story. He's solid and unwavering.

9. They did it with Obama and Clinton in 2008...

How many right-wing dpbags went on and on about how well they got along with Obama...the ones who have their hands now on the knives in his back.

16. It's a right-wing tactic to divide and conquer by pitting

these two liberal women, who support each other, against one another. They'd rather us fight each other than them.

2. I wonder how long the powers on the right sat around in a smoke filled rooom

to come up with this latest dredge.. Who ever we finally decide on as our canidate will be hands down 20 times anything the Republicans can dredge up..

5. They can only win if they steal, and if they steal, i will no longer play the game

[Cali_Democrat]

12. The GOP has only won the popular vote once in the last 6 presidential elections

They can't win on their policies so they will employ other tactics.

6. I can't say that I'm extremely concerned over anything MB says.

I tried to be, but it's just not there.

7. they will be each other's greatest asset if one gets in and the other doesn't

8. Well if Bachmann sez so...

10. Subtlety is not your strong point.

You are amusingly obvious in your tactics. I gotta hand it to you: You really do practice transparency- even if it is unintentional.

[Cali_Democrat]

13. I'm not trying to be subtle, my dear. nt

[cali]

15. than why play such an exceedingly silly little game, my darling sweetheart?

It's obvious you're trying to conflate liberals- a group you appear to dislike almost as much if not more than wingnut pukes... with wingnut pukes. It's an ugly thing to do.

[Cali_Democrat]

17. You seem to be confused, which is no surprise

I'm not conflating anybody. This OP is about Michelle Bachman and another OP I created today was about Robert Costa. Both GOP ratfuckers trying to employ divide and conquer tactics.

Reading comprehension appears to be an issue here.

Being critical of people like Robert Costa and Michelle Bachman means I dislike liberals?

[cali]

19. Not at all confused. It's something you do frequently.

You never lose an opportunity to do this stuff here.

You are transparent, and no one has ever accused me of a lack of acuity when it comes to reading comprehension. Look, we're a big tent, so there's room for you conservative, partisan style democrats. Socially liberal and conservative on most other issues.

[Cali_Democrat]

20. So how is this OP critical of liberals?

Pointing out that Michele Bachman is trying to divide Dems somehow means I'm being critical of liberals?

You are a riot!!!

11. I'm betting Hillary will get right on that "sage advice" from a "well wisher!"

18. Cute, Michele. But no dice...we're onto you!
