E Warren Announces

For John, BLUF:  She did it in Lawrence, which is interesting.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Elizabeth Warren just gave a fantastic speech — announcing her candidacy.

From Professor Ann Althouse, 9 February 2019.

Here is the lede:

I don't see how she could have done any better. Her delivery — the passion, inflection, energy, clarity — is as close to perfect as I can imagine from someone who's found her way into the position to run for the presidency.

And here is a key paragraph:

Much of what she said was about the troubles of the middle class, and it sounded a lot like Trump.  There were many times when I said out loud, "This is like Trump."  And she got a crowd reaction that reminded me of Trump's.  People cheered and chants got going.

Independently, my oldest son, who watched the speech while having lunch, said it was very good.

I wonder if Senator Warren, sensing why Candidate Trump did as well as he did in 2016, is going back to her Bible Belt roots to connect with those voters Candidate Hillary Clinton lost?
