ELIZABETH WARREN WILL NEVER BE PRESIDENT

Elizabeth Warren Will Never Be President

In 2016, I was one of a small number of pundits who predicted that Donald Trump would win the presidential election. This was not because I fully appreciated Trump’s appeal to voters; rather, because I had been saying for years that Hillary Clinton would never be president. She was an appallingly bad candidate, which her party inexplicably failed to understand.

I am now ready to say the same about Elizabeth Warren: she will never be president. She, too, is a terrible candidate, incorporating most of Hillary’s flaws and none of her modest virtues. If I had to choose between being locked in a cell for four years with Hillary Clinton or Elizabeth Warren, I would choose Hillary. Hands down. Warren makes Hillary look warm and fuzzy.

Here are some more specific reasons why Warren’s candidacy is doomed to failure:

l) Pretty much everyone now understands that Warren’s “Medicare For All” proposal will bankrupt America, require confiscatory taxes on the middle class, and destroy the stock market, among its other evils. The plan is so bad that leaders of the financial industry (“Wall Street”) have warned that if Warren is the Democrats’ nominee, they will support President Trump. For Wall Street to support a Republican is almost unthinkable, but if the Democrats nominate Warren, it will happen.

2) Warren is all in on taxing Americans to pay for health care for illegal aliens: Elizabeth Warren Confirms Her Medicare For All Plan Will Cover Illegal Immigrants. This will cost her countless votes.

3) Warren is now contemplating suspending all deportations of illegal immigrants, apparently including those who commit violent crimes. This would be a violation of her oath of office even more profound than Barack Obama’s. More important, it is deeply unpopular.

4) Warren has bought into the most outré elements of the Democrats’ increasingly weird coalition. This was her response to the question, “Who (or what) are (or is) the backbone of our democracy?” One can imagine how Democrats of prior generations might have answered that question. This was Warren’s response:

Thank you, @BlackWomxnFor! Black trans and cis women, gender-nonconforming, and nonbinary people are the backbone of our democracy and I don’t take this endorsement lightly. I'm committed to fighting alongside you for the big, structural change our country needs. https://t.co/KqWsVoRYMb

Elizabeth Warren, RIP. You, like Hillary, will never be president. And to Democrats I say: nominate her. Please!

Fake News of the “yeah, we already know that” category.

Funny...

I’ve said several times that Warren is just another Hillary, without all the charm and bubbly personality

[Bullish]

She’s like the aunt who you never want to give a glass of wine to at a family gathering. You know full well they can’t handle it and will make a big ugly scene.

RE: I’ve said several times that Warren is just another Hillary, without all the charm and bubbly personality

Now that IS bad. “Charm and bubbly personality” are not word that come to mind when we’re talking about SHrillary.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Injuns can’t handle the liquor, y’know ?

[eyedigress]

Of course not! It will be Pete Buttplug!

[digger48]

But...but...Hillary is really a funny and likeable person underneath her pantsuit of ice

At least, that’s what Hillary keeps telling everybody

You know what angers me is that no one on the Left cares that Warren committed out and out fraud.

She claimed to be another ethnicity just to advance her career and get a high-paying part-time job at Harvard.

This woman is a total fraud and shouldn't be elected to some village's water board.

“Lizzie Warren took an axe,
Gave her party forty whacks.
When she saw what she had done,
Gave her country forty-one.”

(With apologies to Lizzie Borden)

[Brilliant]

I wouldn’t assume she’ll lose.

[karpov]

I loathe Warren, but why are people so confident she can’t win? She outpolls Trump nationally by 7.3% in the RealClearPolitics average of polls https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/president/us/general_election_trump_vs_warren-6251.html .

It’s better to recognize that she CAN win and to fight like hell to make sure she does not.

[beethovenfan]

There’s a lot of really stupid people voting out there.

[silverleaf]

You mean, without Bill

[EC Washington]

President Trump should offer her the Commissioner for the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

[ScottinVA]

Never say “never.”

There are multitudes of new voters out there who espouse her socialist views. Everything is on the table these days.

[kalee]

Axe? Shouldn’t that be a tomahawk? Although I guess you want it to rhyme. ;)

[unlearner]

“It’s better to recognize that she CAN win and to fight like hell to make sure she does not.”

Maybe, but the best way to do that is simply help people get to know her.

To know her is to loathe her.

Obama had the advantage of being a blank slate. No one knew who he was or what he was about. Warren has a lot of negative public history.

GET THE GOVERNMENT OUT OF HEALTHCARE.

Our slogan should be “Medicare (and Medicaid) for nobody.”

These programs make us weak. One can draw a direct line between the emergence of socialized medicine in Europe with the rapid Islamification of those decadent countries. WHEN the muzzies finally take over openly, I’m convinced they’ll get rid of the welfare states and enslave the native populations.

We need to start toughening up so we can avoid the same fate. That starts with ending the freebies that reward and encourage sloth.

We also need to shut down the FDA. It’s no good.
