President Trump ran in 2016 as a populist, not a conservative - and that's why he won. Populism is popular.
At its best, it's also positive, and that's what we argue for on this show. Positive populism - pro-worker, pro-family, pro-community. Those were the themes of my book, Positive Populism.
But President Trump needs to be careful. Some leading Democrats are trying to steal his winning populist message.
Look at Elizabeth Warren. Yes, it's easy to knock her on her dubious claim of Native American ancestry. But if you listen closely, she's basically running on the Trump message from 2016.
The populist bedrock of that platform was to make government deliver for working Americans, not the big donors and the big corporations. The focus was the middle class and working families -- and now that's Elizabeth Warren's focus, too.
But the echoes go beyond the big picture. Look at what Warren said about Washingtons corruption when she spoke in Iowa last week.
"We need to change the rules in Washington, she said. Yes. It is about money in politics, it's about the influence of money. I have the biggest anti-corruption proposals since Watergate. Yes! How about we block the revolving door between Wall Street and Washington, you think?"
Yes, great idea about the revolving door. But where have you heard that before? Oh, right - in 2016. Wasn't there something about draining the swamp, fighting big money, and yes, blocking the revolving door?

Warren is a hypocrite because she actually takes money from the same big money fatcats she likes to denounce. She has no credibility.
I doubt any of the Democrats stealing DJT’s hand tools will prevent the ongoing repair to our nation that will carry him through 2024. He’s in the driver’s seat, and things are getting done. The Democrats have a track record of getting things done for the party, and themselves not the people.
Curious if they will ever wake up to the fact we are on to them.
Now and then MEMES are needed to counteract this counterfeit and all who do the same.
Hey if Warren wants to run on overstaying on visas, funding ICE and stopping sanctuary cities, more power to her!
The democrat party is completely controlled by enemy islamists and their facilitators. Many rinos among them.
DESTROY iSLAM or it will surely destroy US.
Warren (and others) can steal from Trump and try to speak to the masses, but she (and other demz) who try this tactic are delusional - they all believe they will win, that they are the most qualified, etc.
Potus is ready, willing and able to [schlong bigly] any contenders!
I am waiting to see how long her campaign lasts. I predict she will be long gone before the Convention...
Yes, we will confuse Warren’s rhetoric with Trump’s. . .especially when she said “I’m gonna get me a beer.”
Correct, voting in lock step with the Rats automatically makes her a hypocrite on this. Can’t be all in for Joe 6-pack and oppose the border wall.
If the wall will save even one life why won’t Democrats support it? After all when trying to take away our Constitutional freedoms that is their primary argument.
Shoring up our border is the most popular item current issue...

People do not dislike fauxcahontis because of her dubious? (Wrong word there) claim. If it was just that, it would simply generate a little mockery, and if she (R) after her name it would generate 3 or 4 years of nonstop mockery. The fact is she used her dubious claims for personal gain against a person who whether you believe Affirnative Action is legitamate or not, was of the intended recipients. It puts a giant distaste in my mouth being forced to defend affirmative action in any form, I do not understand why democrats do not see this as blatant fraud against a protected class. Isnt protected mean extra special care must be taken to protect them from physical threats or fraud?
Purely made up. Not a grain of truth or honesty coming from Warren at all.
If all she can do is copy Trump; she already lost.
Almost seems Hilton is trying to dilute Trump’s message rather than “warn the Dems are stealing it”....
