Marisa DeFranco On Her Way To The Convention

While I gotta tell you Elizabeth Warren is in big big trouble. This weekend. The democratic state party going to be holding their convention in Springfield. There the delegates are going to potentially choose who their nominee is going to be however. -- 15%. Of the delegates. Support. -- -- de Franco. Who -- challenging Elizabeth Warren. Then you'll hop a full fledged primary. Iran off in which then they will have to vote in September. And so the question now before Massachusetts Democrats is do they want one party rule. In which an establishment candidate. Is essentially rammed down the throats of the party rank and file. Or do they want a genuine. Democratic. Election. In which you have a genuine choice between two different candidates. And if you wanna see how the democratic establishment is frightened. Is petrified of the Franco's challenge an insurgency. Check this out this is just on the Boston Herald. Broke about four -- five hours ago. Jittery Democrats. Warned delegates quote stay on track. Panic Democrats. Are circulating a scathing email. Saying that by backing fiery democratic underdog Maria said the Franco. That this will only help Republican senators Scott Brown. They are now desperate. The how of the delegates. A centrally -- -- Elizabeth Warren. And in particular. Warren's supporters. Belcher town democratic town committee chairman. Can -- -- fired off this last minute missive to dozens of fellow Obama delegates. And I got to tell you that email. -- can -- shows just how -- they are let me just read a little bit from not email. A vote for de -- -- is they vote for Scott brown and Mitch McConnell. Reads -- signs mail or email which was obtained by the Boston Harold. Mr. de Franco will convince some delegates then a primary is somehow quote fair to boom. Or let the people decide quote unquote please do what you can to keep your delegates on track to keep a democratic senate. In other ports. They don't want a primary. They don't want the people of that Massachusetts Democratic Party got a choice. And so in the interest of fairness. In the interest of balance. If the democratic establishment wants to wipe her off. And ignore her we will give her a platform and a voice and it is now my pleasure and honor. To -- democratic challenger Maria said to Franco on the air mr. Franco welcome to the Howie -- show. Thank you very let that let it be -- You know the first question I have to ask you is what do you make of this email being circulated by committee chairman candles line. They they're panicked they're worried. Well neat neat neat he greeted you whenever they want to do play and I did you know if you beat me beat technicality that people -- like it alligator. And actually I wouldn't -- art in the market he doesn't let -- More than five months I was not very sexy she eat it and it -- -- -- And I mean you -- I'll tell you what you do wing. To counter this onslaught it's. -- Governor Deval Patrick almost unprecedented. Has now endorsed Elizabeth Warren. They are sending out emails attacking you demonizing you -- delegates not to vote for you. What are you doing to counter this. We're thinking we've been doing pretty -- here that he. And enter into question. I think that he would yes that's my -- is out there. And I think that the threat of entry and -- actually. I had been my email has been like Apple iPhone that they re in a heartbeat as. People really do want it actually I -- -- aren't they. Yet they've all. Early twentieth century people are tired of -- -- there that the -- That's where primary art and they got a primary it adds to the party is fine. You're part he's not trying to bat the bat -- you're articulate your art not re open it up -- I sure am ready. -- But my real world experience. That it is I work with people out on every day out here. Me. Actually -- echo and background and no -- -- excited at there. We are talking with armor -- de Franco and it's brought do you buy the car guys. Car buying made easy. Mr. Franco what are they worried about what is Elizabeth Warren scared up I mean. Do you think that this native American issue which doesn't seem to go away. 'cause that's fatally wounded -- do you think she's a crippled candidate if she should win the nomination. I don't know it occurred but I don't know error rate of the pocket these. Here it Democratic Party I a lot of our leaders and Democratic Party at. These I expect and but that's the problem I. See it there can't hey inability at -- -- -- at. It very they out. Not being able that Dan Hillary not seen it at his or inform her that her route. Have a clear answer and -- a lot. We -- democratic nominee is by now not at. Background scenes that I can't offer -- I'm able ill and so I hit it in my. Life and -- it is at you know. If -- I -- every state Nittany. And look up at Ali -- look -- You know -- note that actual threat that. I had. I had read. Let -- act. Like me. -- it is the bat. That on the ground at night in rat -- quiet event. Over. Do you think having Deval Patrick. Intercede on her behalf at that press conference several days ago. Where is that TU a sign of weakness on the part of Elizabeth Warren as a Democrat were you embarrassed he she not able to answer the questions for self. Well I am down. That any in the democratic republic without somebody that and other elected. You know the question. I can only speak for myself and -- with the I'd like it appear on -- art. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- And it but they have been at -- yet. And it might -- at. You can -- -- imply that -- my practice if you let your mind where it -- it. I met her at her apartment that I. People doubting that they're on this bill. So people -- that about in that act freestyle record art. Did Elizabeth Warren -- -- About her native American ancestry that's the 64000. Dollar question and in your view is she'll -- Yeah again I say. I think that up with the people decide not liking this not -- on that -- I can't see it as a litigator. That you never get their act but it will go to it pick. You never try to get them with something in mind. Let's get you know. They have in -- I love my job determine. You know what that kind of voters job. He turned what had. It. -- -- -- -- but you must have some opinions on the matter I mean do you believe her do you let me ask you this do you believe her when she says it's. That the first time she ever heard about this whole issue over native American ancestry was when she read the article in the Boston Herald on April 27. You think she was telling the truth and. I don't know. That I really that my son -- Eight at the end if you. -- you don't you keeping track of Ike is in everything all. At. Really are exactly the effect might it is there. I don't have the time that we are on track. But what it is a very high. That's quite important. Because you don't go back to and I got it got into the act act as a voter. The voter keeping track of it in. All our. But it is what that political. If she becomes the nominee. Hypothetically speaking. Can the Democrats win with Elizabeth Warren against Scott Brown. And I can't -- -- the IBL. Strike. Note that I. Felt and -- brown. It is it that it. Is Brett. Has the and they have been out here I'm. In people. And you know working it all -- that and I -- that I find out. -- the real world that I used by outlook. Are not here. I don't know and -- I upgrade that -- I don't that they -- ninety. Argued that salaries you know paying pretty. High -- And that is what we needed some real but the real world on the ground here. Are picking up ground and use -- But you and I can be and it -- art if they don't see that it. A look at. The Democratic Party stalwarts and I just read one of the emails. Are essentially arguing that if you get 15% of the delegates this weekend or more. This will launch an internists in primary fight which only benefits Scott Brown. What do you say to that argument that a vote for Marie said -- Franco is essentially a vote for Scott Brown. Well -- apple or at. You know it's a -- into it and explain I mean the but -- color at all -- -- -- -- -- -- really by high. And by the way -- -- -- -- You know we keep that primary. Hillary and Barack. And other are a Smart people that old party can't they end on primary -- -- and Republicans make the -- out well. A little app and right. Really they're. What he. Ate all that -- it shut out at. I'm very happy. That the bluntly it -- every better picture. -- Up. That collected by that one -- my order that you don't don't -- -- -- that fact. Right into it but -- -- Is that I've been running. Ammunition political amateur the issue out of her league issue out of her depth. I think that there it is not in. And -- don't -- -- A lack the ability name is Alan. 'cause they aren't so you know I write. Ot help out and how they've bungled. Ever. Is it really is. So I thought they now were oh. Climate here you don't get people there -- be like that it be and I find it. Barely using. Your layout is the on -- currency. And get it there but that's about that I act I really -- the amateur here. But I'm back -- the primary I I had been not being a positive. In this campaign. I have and I think that is about rock at the art is it that people like here might hear about. And you know people pay I did you criticized it was a war issues I criticized. I let her on -- air and that air game. You don't you'd -- right and I have ever meet -- And that and I will not. The event -- it the right there will be in the insight is that.
