If your first point is true....then....I think that means Warren is the next President.
Yes, I posted exactly that yesterday.
The People are revolting (sorry).
The ruling coalition is united around several things that the people are against. They are skilled at setting up phony issues (or issues that dont concern the Federal government) to break up the formation of any possible other coalition.
Republicans and Democrats agree that the purpose of the State is redistribution. How much, and to whom, and under what circumstances, there are disagreements. But no elected officials of either Party believe that it is wrong to take from you and give to another of their own choosing, for reasons that make sense to them.
Republicans and Democrats agree that you have rights - lots of them. They also agree that any question ABOUT your rights, or whether or not something IS a right, should not be decided by a political process because that is divisive. So, they both agree that the voice of the People as contemplated in Articles IX and X can only be voiced by nine unelected life tenure judges, and that five of them, at any time or for any reason, can give new rights and take away old ones, particularly if those old ones arise out of majority voting.
Republicans and Democrats all believe in diversity. They, ignoring completely the results of all social science research on this subject, and contrary to millennia of human experience and wisdom, believe that the more diverse our country, its institutions, and any private entities within her become, the more cohesive and productive we will become.
Republicans and Democrats almost all believe in free trade and immigration. These things are good for various constituencies of both parties while they wreck the economy and the nation.
Many of the People, perhaps a majority, do not believe in any of these things. But in our existing system, captive as it is to the MSM-mandated process for choosing two candidates for POTUS neither of whom will change a thing, leaves the People with no voice.
Somethings gonna blow.
The People are ready to dethrone the establishment. Unfortunately, the official "opposition" party has thrown in their lot with the Democrats, so the GOP in 2016 will not - no , ABSOLUTELY will not - offer a choice for a "throw the bums out" voter. But Elizabeth Warren will.
Even though both parties have agreed not to allow the Money Question into politics (since 1913) it's still very important. Except for slavery, it was the most important issue in our Federal elections consistently from 1800 to 1912.
Elizabeth Warren has identified (blind squirrel, nut) money creation by the money center banks (as opposed to Congress) as a major issue, and she is right that it is.
Since the GOP plans no opposition to any of the coalition principles listed above, I think there is very good chance that she will catch fire and, as you say, be our next President.
