Quoting this from the Biden thread in order to avoid the continued hijacking of that thread: > [@Joe Biden's in](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/joe-bidens-in/833042/714): > > Yes, and it will work. He and his base will have a blast making fun of her and he’ll campaign his ass off all over the midwest and the “Rust Belt” and the crowds will roar with laughter and applause, energizing Republicans. He’ll do the exact same thing in the debates and she will be thrown off her “serious woman talking about serious business” game, be rattled by Trump’s juvenile attacks and unable to parry it with any humor, and come off looking like Hillary 2.0. Black voters in the main are going to be unenthused about a woman who looks and speaks like someone’s mom in 1997 at a PTA meeting warning the parents about the dangers of Marilyn Manson and Eminem, and their turnout will be lackluster. And anyone who thinks that Warren can connect with blue collar workers has never been a blue collar worker. We’ll have 4 more “Tremendous”, “Yuge” years. This is exactly my gut feeling of what would happen if Warren got the nomination. I won’t trust my gut if it goes against the data, but I will use it as a tiebreaker. So, for me to be convinced to switch from Sanders to Warren, the polls would have to show her being not just AS GOOD as Bernie in a matchup with Trump, but as being decisively BETTER. And as of now, they are still showing her (along with every other non-Biden candidate) as being decisively WORSE. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/elizabeth-warren-2020/838800)._
