Stick a Fork in Warren, She’s Done

Elizabeth “Fauxcahontas” Warren is constantly mentioned as a top choice for Hillary Clinton’s ticket as vice president, but few have bothered to examine whether she would be a disastrous for an already troubled candidate.

A Clinton-Warren ticket could actually make winning over the Democratic far-left harder for Clinton.

Some argue that Warren, a popular progressive, could boost Clinton’s appeal to former supporters of Bernie Sanders, but a closer examination suggests a Clinton-Warren ticket could actually make winning over the Democratic far-left much harder for Clinton.

Moreover, many Sanders supporters are angry at Warren for not endorsing him — shocked that she didn’t support a fellow radical progressive senator from New England — and of the strong belief that an early endorsement from her could have handed Massachusetts to Sanders. “Elizabeth Warren has Betrayed the Cause,” read a headline from the left-wing CounterPunch magazine.

If the Clinton campaign thinks Warren’s will bring the majority of Sanders supporters into the fold and turn the Democratic convention into a peaceful pow-wow, it’s in for an unpleasant surprise.

CNN’s Erin Burnett is touting Warren as awesome, because she is attacking Trumpo with vigor.

Everyone keep an eye out for The Financial CHOICE Act.

IT IS OUTSTANDING, and one of its authors, Jeb Hensarling (R,TX), should be on Trump’s short list.

Essentially, it provides banks an off ramp for Dodd-Frank, while outlawing the too-big-to-fail bailouts.

Dodd-Frank is the equivalent of Obamacare as far as regulating small, regional, local banks out of existence.

Hensarling would carve up Pocahontas in a VP debate.

If not VP, he should become Speaker.

We can only hope. Some of those politicians have nine lives.
