Elizabeth Warren Wins Sweepstakes for Week's Dumbest Tweet

The Democrat primary has devolved into an extremism arms race to see who can adopt the most radical position.

Last week’s winner, despite steep competition, was Elizabeth Warren, who tweeted out, “On my first day as president, I will sign an executive order that puts a total moratorium on all new fossil fuel leases for drilling offshore and on public lands. And I will ban fracking — everywhere.”

Sundance covered ten negative effects of this action at Conservative Treehouse. The bottom line is that it would take a sledgehammer to the U.S. economy while tipping the geopolitical map in favor of the world’s worst regimes, such as Russia, Iran, Venezuela, and China.

It’s a twofold nightmare, attacking the U.S. economy while threatening its national security. It’s hard to come up with a more damaging position. Perhaps next she can propose handing all of America’s nuclear weapons over to North Korea in the interest of global peace.

One wonders what is going through Warren’s mind when committing to something so obviously catastrophic to the nation she is hoping to lead. In borrowing a strategy oft used by C.S. Lewis, there are only three possible explanations for Warren’s position: she is lying, an intellectual lightweight, or a lunatic.

Let’s look at each of these in increasing order of likelihood.

Warren as Liar

Perhaps Warren actually realizes the incredible damage this would cause and is simply lying to Democrat primary voters to win their votes. This would be the least damaging option and can at least be considered within a primary, where Democrats are saying increasingly outrageous things to improve their standing with propagandized socialist voters who are members in good standing in the nonsensical Church of the Global Warming Jihad. Warren famously built much of her career on the big lie,

“He’s being mean to me....he’s picking on me because I am a woman ...bawahhh..!!”

You left out “he’s invading my personal space!!”

Brokered convention? Hmm...only if Crockajawea or Comrade Bernie don’t have the delegate count locked up; he might even benefit from “it’s HIS turn now!!”.

Rahm Emmanuel would be a Godsend; they might as well nominate Andrew `Il Duce Cuomo’, another big city screaming liberal with a white hot hatred of PDJT.

IMO last night’s debate exposed the Dems for the wild eyed crazies they are. Beto’s threatened gun grab wasn’t challenged by a single one of them, so it can be pinned on every last one of them.

The left sells a fantasy and uses force based on fantasy to try to make things happen. It usually results in failure, and often massive bloodshed.

Conservatives take a realistic view, even though it’s often unpopular with low-info voters, then use strategy and problem-solving to facilitate change. Then left then takes credit for what conservatives have accomplished, and blames conservatives and Republicans for the left’s catastrophes.

We’ve already seen the damage Warren can do. Remember the CFPB, the agency that Trump and Mulvaney took control over a couple years ago.

It was an agency designed to shake down banks to create Democrat slush funds and reward all those “non-profits” trying to take down the American Way.

Nothing but bad news.

But I hope she gets the nomination so Trump can utterly destroy her.
