The Smoke Signals Say It'll Be Trump Vs. Warren
[Townhall] Elizabeth Warren is on the way to securing the Democrat nomination, and the ensuing general election battle will be a re-run of Little Bighorn except, ironically, Sitting Bolshevik will be Custer. Trump’s going to drag her kicking and screaming and nagging, always nagging, down the trail of tears until that glorious November night when Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and maybe Minnesota all express their reservations over sending this tiresome scold to the White Wigwam in Washington.

...But it’s not moderately amusing tribe jibes that are going to do in her candidacy. Elizabeth Warren faces some other challenging obstacles on her way to the Oval Office. Foremost among them is Elizabeth Warren.

Where Kirstin Gillibrand came across as America’s First Wife, Warren comes across as that irritating middle school librarian who is constantly demanding that we all use our inside voices and who puts up posters that say "Reading Is Cool!" with a picture of the Fonz. Functionaries like that are just fine for keeping seventh graders from burning down the school and for passing out tomes so the kids can learn them their cypherin’, but grown men and women neither need nor want some National Nag pestering them to be better people. For one thing, we’re already manifestly better than the cast of weirdos, losers and pinko mutations that make up Warren’s motley base.

It says a lot that the fact Big Chief Warren taught at Harvard ‐ albeit solely because of her Apache-at scam ‐ is not the thing that will alienate her most from Midwestern voters. It’s her insane catering to the commie contingent in her midst. It’s one thing to try to get to the left of the Democrat field during the primaries; it’s another to get to the left of the Democrat field during the primaries when you’re running against Bernie Sanders.

...And then there’s her promise to ban fracking.

...Hmmmm. Your livelihoods or the catering to the obsessions of a Swedish 16-year-old? Hey, for Liz Warren that’s an easy call! Better learn to code!

Actually, don’t bother. Elizabeth Warren may get nominated ‐ in fact, it looks like she will. But when she and her running mate ‐ be it the gun-grabbing furry, Willie Brown’s fling or Mayor Liberal Lithgow from Footloose, Indiana ‐ enter the general, Trump will be waiting.

#2 Those debates ought to be fun. Maybe Trump will invite a tribe of Native Americans to sit in the front row of the debates.

#4 Hopefully Trump will practice the quip.
Faux-cahontas not Po-cahontas.

One highlights her fake credentials and red face duplicity, the other in a beloved Disney Princess the younger voters group up watching.

#6 Schlichter should go on the air. Carlson has a rival.

I would prefer to see them teamed up so they could tag-team the victims...er guests they have on the show.
