Elizabeth Warren is Also a Trump Democrat!

Don't get me wrong, I like Senator Warren, A lot. If I still lived in Mass, you know she'd have my vote. I sometimes take the mickey out of her a little because people try to diss my main bitch Hillary Clinton which isn't fair.

The two are different women but what people can't take with Hillary I think even now is that she's an ambitious woman who wants to get ahead and shatter the ultimate glass ceiling.

Now people will here this and say she's not principled just ambitious, which I disagree with. She is principled. Her and her husband have believed in liberal values since they were adolescents. But unlike Ms. Warren she's less like a saint and more like an actual, life and blood politician.

People still have a hard time with accepting a woman who's not a saint or a nun just an ambitious woman with principles who wants to do good while also doing well.

What surprises me is how little comment the sexist treatment of Hillary's campaign has gotten. Here it gets a little.

People criticize her in ways they never would in a male candidate. She's often referred to as 'cold and brittle' which is a classic gender dog whistle if there every was one.

I do maintain that Warren is acceptable to many in a way that Hillary isn't as Warren is kind of like what the local nun would be like if she went into politics-everything she does is presumed to have a purely selfless motivation whereas with Hillary we see the ambition and the drive. She wants to do good but she also clearly wants to win-her words.

Still having said all this I'm a fan of Senator Warren's-she just isn't cut out to be President as Garry Wills says-and she clearly knows this.

Now she is tickling me by praising Donald Trump-as you know I'm the biggest Trump Democrat around. I've pointed out that his policies outside of immigration are better than the other GOPers.

Now Senator Warren goes here:

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said on Tuesday that while she believes Donald Trump's positions on immigration should disqualify him from becoming president, she supports his call to raise taxes on the wealthy.

"There are a lot of places where he gets out and talks about important things," Warren said of Trump on ABC's "The View." "Like Donald Trump and I both agree that there ought to be more taxation of the billionaires, the people who are making their money on Wall Street."

"She said that it's not a "liberal position," but the "right" one."

"However, Warren did not exactly endorse Trump, and made sure to bash his immigration proposals."

"Because he’s the one who said he wants to rip 11 million people who live in this country right now, rip them out of their families, take them away and deport them. For me, that just scratches his name off the list. You can’t be president of the United States if that’s your view about how we’re going to solve immigration reform. That’s wrong," she said.

"New York Times columnist Paul Krugman also wrote in a Monday column that Trump is "right on economics," given the real estate mogul's position on taxes and health care."

I agree with Warren entirely-obviously totally on the issue of the 11 million people being deported proposal as well. It's absurd but I maintain it's basically the unspoken GOP position-it's implicit but Trump just makes it explicit.

I'm sure the establishment GOP-the RNC, Reince Priebus, etc-must love hearing all these liberals praise Trump's economics.
