Elizabeth Warren Rolls as Scott Brown Falls Apart in Their Second Debate



Elizabeth Warren Rolls as Scott Brown Falls Apart in Their Second Debate

Elizabeth Warren rolled over Scott Brown in their second debate as the incumbent lost his cool, and cracks started to show in his moderate pseudo-Democrat facade.

The debate was moderated by David Gregory of Meet The Press who quickly revealed that he wasn’t interested in substance.

The first question went to Elizabeth Warren, and she was asked if she considers herself a minority. Warren delivered much of the same answer that she gave in the first debate that she is a person who has a Native American background. Gregory asked Scott Brown if he thought she was lying, and he first tried to pivot to jobs, and then claimed that Warren self-reported and changed her nationality. Brown also tried to claim that she has changed her heritage. Gregory asked Brown if Warren benefited from this, Brown dodged and called for Warren to release her personnel records. (So far, Brown is using the same attack that didn’t work in the first debate. If this attack was designed to put Warren on the defensive, it isn’t working.)

Sen. Brown admitted that this wasn’t a disqualifying issue, but he claimed that Warren has misled the voters. Nearly ten minutes passed, and Sen. Brown was still spinning his wheels on the heritage issue. Warren confronted Brown directly and told him that he was wrong about her misleading voters. Scott Brown’s line of attack was that Warren is untrustworthy because she “misled” the voters.

That's the perfect description of her demeanor during the debate. She didn't let Brown or Gregory throw her off balance.

They typify his arrogance, and his love of the extreme right wing agenda of people like Scalia.
