Give It Up, Already! Warren's First 2020 Trip to Iowa Ends In Darkness (WATCH)
If as many Democrats wind up running for president in 2020 as Republicans did in 2016, it would probably be smart to hold the primetime debates with legitimate contenders and smaller debates with those not polling as well.
One would have to figure Senator Elizabeth Warren (MA) would fall into the latter category.
She’s not polling well now.
She’s not likely to poll better once bigger names enter the race, either.
During her first trip to Iowa as a probable candidate, it didn’t go so well for the woman of 1/1024th Native American heritage.
About 5 minutes into her 30-minute appearance, the lights went noticeably dark and the microphone stopped working.
WATCH:
President Trump was asked if Warren has a shot against him in a hypothetical general election.
He only needed three words.
“…ask her psychiatrist.”

Warren says Trump inspires “domestic right-wing terrorism.”
Yeah, for real.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) spoke at American University Washington College of Law in a speech billed as foreign policy-focused; however, it included criticism of President Donald Trump and his policies and claimed he promotes white nationalism and encourages “domestic right-wing terrorism.”
Warren: “He cozies up to white nationalists. He undermines the free press and incites violence against journalists.“
“The 2016 election provided a stark reminder that we must remain vigilant and fight for our democracy every single day,” Warren said. “That starts with protecting our elections and democratic processes, and making it clear that there will be severe consequences for those – foreign or domestic – who meddle, hack, or undermine them.“
“It means ensuring a meaningful opportunity for every American citizen to vote. And it means fighting for equal justice and protection under the law for all.“
“It also requires us to speak out against hateful rhetoric that fuels domestic terrorism of all kinds, whether in San Bernadino or Charleston, Orlando or Charlottesville, Fort Hood or Pittsburgh. We must speak plainly about all of these incidents.“
“Just like the hateful terrorism of Al Qaeda and ISIS, domestic right-wing terrorism is completely incompatible with our American values.“
“Let’s start with a serious problem: Around the world, democracy is under assault. Authoritarian governments are gaining power.“
“Right-wing demagogues are gaining strength. Movements toward openness and pluralism have stalled and begun to reverse.“
“Inequality is rapidly growing, transforming rule by-the-people into rule by-wealthy-elites.“
As one might expect, there is not a surge in right-wing violence.
From Daily Signal:
According to The Washington Post, which relies on Global Terrorism Database data, there were zero acts of right-wing terrorism in the entire nation in 2002. Since then, we have seen a “surge,” to 36 in a nation of 325-plus million people in 2017. Among those acts, there were 11 fatalities.
In other words, fewer homicides were committed by political terrorists of any stripe in the United States in 2017 than were committed by undocumented immigrants in the state of Texas alone—which, I am assured, is an incredibly low number that shouldn’t worry us very much.
House Democrats plan to go after President Trump’s tax returns once they are in power come January.
From Fox News:
House Democrats’ first order of business in the new Congress will be targeting President Trump’s tax returns, setting the confrontational tone of the lower chamber.
The first bill, called House Resolution 1 (H.R. 1), indicates the Democrats’ inclination to resist Trump not only in House committees, where a number of investigations will be launched in January, but also by introducing legislation that directly involves the president.
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (CA) is likely to once again become Speaker, despite copious amounts of backlash.
According to Pelosi, all Republicans are “despicable.”
