Since Elizabeth Warren's rise in the 2020 race, she's received an onslaught of jabs, swipes, missives, think-pieces and general bashing from opponents. Her response: No comment
Elizabeth Warren has been on the receiving end of an onslaught of jabs, swipes, missives, think-pieces and general bashing from opponents this past week, the likes of which she hasn’t experienced since she jumped into the presidential race.
“Fighting on Twitter most of the time does not advance our goals,” said one campaign official in explaining Warren’s refusal to follow “The War Room” ethos that political campaigns have hewed to for decades. In short: All attacks must be publicly returned, and then some.
Still, there's a question whether the unconventional approach will work as the attacks intensify ahead of Iowa and New Hampshire, let alone against Donald Trump in a general election. Democrats are watching closely which of the candidates will be able to stand up to the president: When asked to choose between a candidate who can beat Trump more than one who merely reflects their values, polls show Democratic voters prefer the former.
