Now Warren mania has died down a bit, meta talk - that was all really weird.
I suppose it would always be difficult to convince someone of the truth about Wu, especially if they were inclined to believe otherwise, she behaves in a lot of ways very contrary to the normal rules of civilised society. She only really gets away with it to the extent she does because she has no attachments to society like a job or close friends.
Warren though... It's not like he was saying that he didn't believe us, which would be understandable, he was just completely refusing to engage with what we presented him. Even simple things to verify, like he told us that friends of his had been paid by Wu to accompany him to collect signatures. I told him that those payments weren't logged in Wu's accounts, and his response was "I'm sure they are" as if we were too incompetent to read public documents. Obviously Wu has no intent to actually defraud by failing to keep her accounts properly, it's just another symptom of the general laziness and chaos that surrounds her record keeping. The sums involved are almost certainly too trivial for the FEC to ever take her to court, so you'd think the response would be "oh, I'll check that out and we'll file a correction if mistakes were made." Instead it's complete denial without taking the five minutes it would take to see if the facts were on his side.
He really does seem to believe that watching Wu talk at a few dozen events over 6 months means he knows everything he would ever need to know about her. That her conversion to true believer "Berniecrat" is unquestionable, despite just a few short months ago she was saying that Bernie supporters were children unfit to sit at political table with the adults. That being able to supply some trivial answers to questions which basically boil down to "do you agree with me?" constitute rock solid, well thought out political positions that it would be completely impossible to fake.
I can see now why Warren is Wu's chief and really only supporter. He seems like he's a really easy mark. I guess he's lucky he doesn't really own anything, because his blind spot would make him very easy to take if a more malicious con artist were to latch on to him.
