Warren Nomination is a Trump Victory

This isn’t 2015, where it was an open question whether Trump could govern without the nation imploding. He is a sitting president who will, against all rules, collapse his presidential office into his campaign. He has delivered red meat for the GOP center in the form of tax cuts, and instead of a wall, he has infused ICE with the ethic of the SS, so now the wall is in people’s minds.

For all of the grumbling about his tweets and his demeanor, Americans aren’t worried about this man anymore. They’ll know what they’ll get.

Then you have Elizabeth Warren. Those on the right side of the Democratic party see her as Clinton-lite, who will appeal to the Left. And those on the Left see her as Sanders-lite, who will appeal to to the right wing of the party. Those who tell themselves they are excited about her aren’t nearly as numerous as they’d like to think, but they all hang around each other so they don’t know how small their numbers are.

She is a compromise candidate, and for all of her plans, nobody knows what she is going to fight for. Nobody. Not a single person. Because if any of her rhetoric matched her fight, she would have endorsed Sanders in 2016.

Meanwhile, she’ll be running up against a President who is running on White nationalist politics, which is great for White nationalists and those non-White people who have made peace with the order and stability White nationalist America confers.

I think it’s irresponsible to send Warren against Trump. I have yet to see a Trump voter who will be enthusiastic about Warren. She is too left for the Republican swing voter, and she isn’t populist enough for that Republican working class voter.

Democrats are telling themselves that the most popular candidate in Martha’s Vineyard and the Hamptons is going to ignite the working people of America against Trump.

I don’t know what to tell you: a Warren nomination means a Trump Presidency.
