Elizabeth Warren\u2019s MSNBC town hall on Wednesday night, host Chris Hayes asked Warren about all the people who say they like her, but are worried she couldn\u2019t beat President Donald Trump in the general election.  <\/p>\n<p>Warren, and many of the other women candidates running in 2020, have been getting this question a lot lately: about whether or not they are \u201celectable.\u201d Warren\u2019s response? <strong>Political conventional wisdom about presidents is often wrong<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember when people said Barack Obama couldn\u2019t be elected,\u201d Warren responded. \u201cI remember when people said Donald Trump couldn\u2019t be elected. And here we are.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Warren has a point; during this time in 2016, political pundits were treating Trump\u2019s campaign as a joke<\/strong>, and talking about Jeb Bush as the frontrunner. And before he was elected president, Obama was a one-term senator from Illinois who was going up against Hillary Clinton. Fast forward to 2020, and the current frontrunner is Obama\u2019s vice president, <strong>Joe Biden \u2014 the candidate voters and pundits so far view as the most \u201celectable\u201d to beat Trump<\/strong>&#8230; [<em>emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">Inserted from &lt;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/policy-and-politics\/2019\/6\/5\/18654349\/elizabeth-warren-electability-obama-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Vox<\/a>&gt;<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">Here are the clips.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=p2ABV0GgO_M\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Elizabeth Warren Proves She\u2019s A Fighter<\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<iframe loading=\"lazy\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/p2ABV0GgO_M\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=z162CH3XYQ0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Can Elizabeth Warren Turn The Rust Belt Blue?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<iframe loading=\"lazy\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/z162CH3XYQ0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ucFOUthEuq8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Despite Donald Trump&#8217;s Promises, Midwest Jobs Leave For Mexico<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<iframe loading=\"lazy\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/ucFOUthEuq8\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MVlGJcuzY3k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Elizabeth Warren: Unions Will Rebuild America&#8217;s Middle Class<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<iframe loading=\"lazy\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/MVlGJcuzY3k\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"640\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">See what I mean?<\/font><\/p>\n<h1 align=\"center\"><font style=\"font-weight: bold\" color=\"#0000ff\">RESIST!!<\/font><\/h1>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday Elizabeth Warren had a Town Hall in Ft.
