Elizabeth Warren's public image can be defined in one simple word:
Intense
Elizabeth Warren is a worker for the American people, especially
the middle class and working class of our country. Ms. Warren also stands for
the students who are seeking helping for student loans after college. Warren's
background has shaped her image into a well-known Democratic who's one job is
to help those who need help the most, the middle class. With her experience in
the bankruptcy Elizabeth doesn't shy away from finding the truth, telling the
truth, and fighting for the truth. Elizabeth's image is flawless, hints why
some many organizations and campaigns are pushing her to run for president in
2016, she already has a faithful group of followers from all of the country and
she's only the senator of Massachusetts.
SWOT
Strengths: She's what America wants, or in this case
demands. No Democrat speaks as passionately and as effectively about issues
related to income inequality, lack of functional governance, and the declining
American middle class as Warren does. And during a campaign season in which
Democrats had little to get excited about, her fist-pumping, high-decibel,
populist harangues got crowds fired up wherever she went.
Weaknesses: Warren has declared several times that she
has zero intentions of running for president, which to fellow Democrats and
supporters of Elizabeth Warren this comes off as a weakness. Even though Warren
has the support she needs, she personally is claiming there is no chance of her
running, which creates a fake security.
Opportunities: Elizabeth Warren has an opportunity to represent the true values
of the American society, unlike Hilary Clinton; Warren doesn’t have any
connections to Wall Street donors. Meaning that Warren would be strictly representing
what the good of the society is rather than playing on funding and who that
funding is coming from, Wall Street.
Threats: One
threat that Elizabeth Warren has, is herself, with the claims that she isn’t
going to run for president is making a campaign take off in the hopes that she
does run very threatening and unsure.
Elizabeth Warren is known for sticking to her guns and not folding
under Washington pressure. Warren doesn’t shy away from speaking the truth and
calling people out. Warren is passionate about the middle class and helping
those people shape their future since they are the class that shapes America.
Warren is leading a battle for education in our society, especially the fight
on student loans. Warren also is leading the battle for the government bailing
out Wall Street, Warren cuts out all the middle ground unimportant issues and
gets down to business, she is here to serve the people of the country to the
best of her ability which means tackling the issues that are most important in
our country. Education, government bailouts, and middle class bankruptcy.
If Warren were to run for president, she would have to voice about
other issues obviously, for example Obamacare or the Middle East, but for the
time being Warren is doing what she can with the power that she holds as
Senator.
Although the question of whether Warren is actually running in 2016, can be a potential weakness to her campaign. Do you see her "intense" public image as maybe somewhat of a weakness or even threat though, if she does decide to run next year? And if so, what do you think she can do to counteract that intense public image?
ReplyDeleteYour introduction is very strong and it really grabbed my attention! I also liked that you put herself down as a threat because when I think of threats I think of a more external source but it makes complete sense that any candidate can either make or break themselves, and as we have seen in class, its happened before!
ReplyDeleteMorgan, I do believe that her repeating herself of not running and then decided to run could be seen as a weakness, however, I believe that if she does chose to run it's going to be because of other factors that were not for seen. At this point, Warren herself is her greatest weakness and greatest strength. Sarah, thank you! Also, exactly a candidate is somewhat in control of their own destiny and Elizabeth is no different.
