Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren has recently surged in the polls, achieving double-digit numbers for the first time since officially announcing her candidacy in February. Indeed, Senator Warren has solidified her position as one of the five top-tier candidates who have managed to distinguish themselves from the other two dozen candidates vying for the Democratic Party's nomination. The group of five front-runners includes Senator Kamala Harris, Senator Bernie Sanders, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, and former Vice President Joe Biden. Put simply, Warren’s momentum spells bad news for the Democratic Party. The Massachusetts Senator has centered her candidacy around far-left, big-government policies that

I hope she wins, and I hope she sticks with her disastrous policy positions for the general election.

If Elizabeth (Pocahontas) Warren is the best of what you have, it says a lot about the Democratic party.

Lord!
The rise of Elizabeth Warren spells bad news for the human mind!
I don't understand this. I truly don't understand this. I'm just glad I left the party of "didn't inhale".
I've never regretted my decision.

Any one else suspect that the media simply decide from day to day who the dem front runner will be, and then present it as legitimate news, backed up by “polling”? (That’s a rhetorical question, btw.)

I think they are going to let her (or make her) draw the short straw. After all, someone needs to be the goat and she’s as good as any. Besides, it’s a two-fer: they protect the party and get rid of her. She’s annoying, old and of very little use.

If she's rising, why is she relegated to the kiddie table in the first debate?

I really don't give a rip about it being bad news for the Demoncrat Party.
The problem, the realproblem, the real concern, is that what the rise of any of these low-lifes implies for this country. Every single one of them bids fair to make Benedict Arnold look good by comparison. Seriously, what conglomeration of worthless idiots put loathsome creeps like Buttplug, Harris, Biden, etc. into office rather than the loony bin or prison? Why are we to be polite to Bernie-bots?
A nation can survive a few louts and loons. A nation or civilization can not survive the elevation of such loathsome creeps like this into positions of power and influence.
I was planning to re-read my copy of "Decline and Fall Of The Roman Empire" but what I see around me leads to the conclusion that we're already past the tipping point as our own nation and civilization races down the drain. I will not live to see the final collapse. Perhaps that is a kindness.

For the Democrats everything has been about identity politics. Four of their top five are all identity politics. Harris is black and female. Warren is female. Buttigieg is gay. Sanders is a Commie. The odd one out is Biden who was a former VP and a Washington insider with the most connections. Think the article is correct in that one of these is going to be the 2020 Democratic nominee for President. My money is on Harris, but far from certain. She can get the Obama and Hillary voters, and the Democrats will need both. The gays will go along with whomever gets the nomination. So will the commies. They are writing off white blue collar voters. They voted for Trump. They will also rely on immigrants and voter fraud. The power behind the democrats will go with whomever is most electable. They own the Democratic party.

Interesting about the 16th amendment. It only taxed income and it
started out at 1%. Now what are we up to? 37%?
Bossy big sister Liz says we should tax wealth of over $50 million and
at only 2%. What could that become in twenty years? Tax wealth of
over half a million and at a rate of 15%? One thing I do notice is that
the political class is well out of reach in Liz’ big idea. Not even Nancy
or J. Effin Kerry has $500 million in assets.

Michelle is watching, and waiting. The Dims, like pavlovian dogs from hell, will not be able to resist another ticket with the sacred name "Obama" (peace be upon Him) on it, and we all know it. I bet the DNC is already working the angles...

Schoen is making the argument that if Democrats run on their true liberal agenda they will lose. He is correct.

Warren is proposing to pay for all of her giveaways by taxing WEALTH. England does that, after a fashion.
Our constitution, by amendment, allows for an INCOME tax, not a wealth tax.
Her proposal is anti-american. anti freedom. She is dismally stupid.

The real divide in American today doesn't involve race, religion, transgender issues, China, Russia, NATO, the Wall, or charter schools...the real, and easy to understand divide, is between Americans who think Senator Warren is a nincompoop, and those who don't.

Doug Schoen is an old time dem who sounds normal & is against the crazies.
What he doesn't understand is that there are no more normal dems & that a win by any of dem brings in the crazies.
Sorry Doug but your kind are now extinct & your party must be destroyed.

OK, I am going to pass over all of her stupid ideas and annoying delivery.. and just focus on her optics.
and I can do it because I am a..woman..she looks like a school marm..the glasses..the hair(which is actually good hair but..) and she has a "uniform" she wears..black pants with a black scooped necked top..and then has a jacket with no buttons and a stand up collar.I call it her Mini-Mao look.. she has these in various colors..now, I can relate..I have been dressing that way for years..but I change up the jackets..shows me she is pretty rigid.and she has been pumping her fists up in the air like a prize fighter..all it all..it doesn't ...work...

Lets face it, the media cannot make up their minds so they use polls?? Each week they have a new flavor, this week it’s Warren.
