Nolte: Elizabeth Warren Was the Frontrunner for About 4 Minutes
3:54
Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D-MA) frontrunner status does not appear to have lasted longer than the time it takes to boil water.
The big news today is a poll from the far-left CNN, which shows former Vice President Joe Biden surging to a 34 to 19 percent lead over Warren, with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) hanging on — heart attack and all — to third place with 16 percent support.
Granted, this is only one poll, and it is CNN, but if Biden is indeed at 34 percent nationally, that is about where a frontrunner needs to be. Thirty-five percent is considered the safe zone in a crowded race.
While I don’t have an enormous amount of faith in CNN’s polling, comparing the trends within a particular poll is always useful, and those look especially bad for America’s Favorite Fake Indian. Since June, in this same poll, Warren’s favorability number has climbed just two points, from 36 to 38 percent, but her unfavorable rating has also climbed, from 38 to 41 percent.
Most importantly, she is upside down on favorability, 38 to 41 percent, and the only top tier Democrat candidate with that problem.
By comparison, Sanders enjoys 48 to 45 percent favorability rating. Mayor Pete Buttigieg is right-side up at 28 to 23 percent. Joe Biden enjoys an incredible advantage at 74 to 20 percent.
On the top four issues of the day, Biden enjoys a wide lead among Democrats. On foreign policy, 56 percent say Biden will do the best job, compared to 13 percent for Sanders and just 11 percent for Warren. On the economy, it’s Biden 38 percent, Sanders 19 percent, and Warren 16 percent. On guns , it’s Biden 27 percent, Sanders 13 percent, and Warren 11 percent. On immigration, it’s Biden 29 percent, with Warren and Sanders tied at 16 percent.
In worse news for Chief Lies-Like-a-Rug, Warren is slipping everywhere else. Two weeks ago, in the Real Clear Politics poll of polls, Warren was tied with Biden nationally and even led in a number of polls.
In the seven most recent polls, however, Biden has a steady lead; in six of those polls he leads anywhere from 8 to 15 points.
The real problem for Warren, though, is that she wilts under scrutiny. As soon as the “frontrunner” status swung the spotlight her way, everything that makes Elizabeth Warren a terrible candidate was once again magnified times ten.
On top of her extremist policies, she’s a weak, shrill, dishonest neurotic. During this last debate, there was nothing to instill confidence among those looking for someone tough enough to take on Trump, especially when she dissembled over and over again when asked a simple question about how she intends to pay for her Medicare For All plan without raising taxes on the middle class.
The primary thing voters look for in a candidate is strength and competence. Are they strong, unable to be rattled? Are you the alpha male (or female)? But whenever she’s under pressure Warren unravels like Lucy Ricardo when Ricky catches her sneaking into his nightclub.
In short, Elizabeth Warren is a mess. This was obvious — hell, everything was obvious about Warren’s inability to handle pressure after she bungled the release of her DNA results last year. As I said at the time, that was the single worst political debacle since John McCain suspended his 2008 presidential campaign to run off and save the economy. She made a fool of herself, and that is almost impossible to overcome.
For that reason, I was legitimately surprised when she became the frontrunner earlier this month, but I was not at all surprised when she immediately fell apart as soon as the scrutiny arrived.
She just doesn’t have The Stuff.
California passes same-day voter registration, rigging elections
even bluer
California passes same-day voter registration, rigging elections
even bluer
As if ballot-harvesting by illegal aliens were not enough, California has come up with a new
way to rig elections to ensure one-party permanent Democratic Party rule.
SACRAMENTO — Californians
will be able to register to vote on election day at local polling places and
voting centers under legislation signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday, a
potentially significant step toward boosting turnout in key contests next year.
The
new law provides for a significant expansion of so-called conditional voter
registration, which allows a new voter to cast a ballot that is counted after
eligibility is determined during the 30-day vote-counting period after an
election. That process began in last year's statewide election, but
registration was available only in county elections offices. Starting next
year, voters can register on election day anywhere ballots are cast.
"This
simply enfranchises more people to vote," said state Sen. Tom Umberg
(D-Santa Ana), the author of the new law. "The presidential race is one
thing, but this is going to make an even bigger difference in turnout for local
races."
California's Gov. Gavin Newsom, who's
been curiously silent on his Facebook page about the gargantuan blackouts
slamming the Bay Area, proudly has this news right there at the top of his page as his signature
achievement.
Suffice to say, this is a recipe for
disaster. As voting tallies roll out in real time on election day,
Democratic operatives, illegally here or not, will be right onto the matter,
with lists of unregistered potential voters, going to their homes and signing
them up to make the tally go their way. The political muscle used is
going to be amazing.
With California already not checking
who's legally allowed to vote, and often, through the Department of Motor
Vehicles' automatic voter registration system, you can bet that a lot of those
newly registered voters are not going to be here legally. The
sanctuary state, after all, does not check.
Now that they've got a
register-or-else system of political muscling for registrations in elections
going the Republican way, you can bet they will muscle illegals to register —
with a warning that they'll be reported to authorities as illegal if they
don't.
They'll be additionally shielded from
scrutiny based on the fact that the state has refused to cooperate
with federal investigators about who's registered legally, so it's a perfect
game for them.
What's stunning is why they did it at
all. After all, haven't they already gotten the solid blue state
they've wanted, based on their past rigging? They've even gotten
deep red Orange County in their column, which has a whiff of fraud. They've
enacted driver's licenses for illegal aliens and now automatic motor voter
registration, which can be halted only on the honor system, if someone says he
is not allowed to vote due to being a non-citizen. Plenty of
"errors" have already happened.
They've also enacted automatic
mail-in ballots, even if people do not ask for them, putting physical paper
ballots on every kitchen table in the state if not in the mailboxes of people
who have moved away. Based on that, they've enacted
ballot-harvesting, where Democratic operatives break the chain of custody in
first counting votes coming in and, once they see a result they don't like,
fanning out and going to people's houses who still have not voted — and
"collecting" those votes, once they've "helped" these
indifferent or unwilling voters to fill them out. You can see how
easy it would be to coerce an illegal alien in such
conditions. Worse still, the fate of the ballot of someone who
voted the "wrong" way is anyone's guess. No one knows if
they turn all the ballots in.
Rest assured: there's more
rigging. They've enacted a first-two-out-the-gate primary system,
which keeps Republicans off the ballot entirely, forcing voters to choose
between just two Democrats, one hideous and the second even worse. That
was the nightmare Republicans faced when they were forced to choose between
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who'd just got caught employing a Chinese spy for 20
years, and a crazed leftist affiliated with what's unaffectionately known as
the "Mexican mafia" of California's political machinery, named Kevin
de León. The map here shows how bad it is.
With this kind of rigging, it's no
wonder California, which still has a sizable conservative contingent, has
nearly zero representation in any public office, state or national.
Yet the :eft still can't trust the
good thing it's got and still doesn't trust those unreliable
voters. This measure to stack the total with same-day registrations
is just the latest scheme to ensure permanent power. It stinks to
high heaven.
Democrats turning California into
a third-world hellhole: Going without electricity edition
Democrats
are turning California into a third-world hellhole without electricity, water,
and freedom.
Due
to Democrats' love for trees, at least 800,000 Californians will be without power for
several days. Instead of properly managing California forests to
reduce the chances of big fires, Democrats are saying Californians have to go
without lights, refrigerators, and air-conditioning. Democrats could
also avoid this by not making the power company financially liable for all
forest fire damages, but since PG&E is a company, not an illegal alien, the
Democrats couldn't care less about doing what's best for California.
While
they try to blame climate change and the infrastructure, the reality is that
neither of those has caused any significant changes in the last ten years — but
now, suddenly, due to Democrat policies, Californians have to start living in
the 18th century.
The
Democrats who run California also refuse to build more water storage capacity
even though the state's population has dramatically increased, ensuring that
water has to be rationed during droughts.
Democrats are turning California into a third-world country
economically. The income inequality between the über-rich Silicon
Valley workers and the rest of Californians is huge, just like in third-world
countries, while the elites live in luxury and the rest live in squalor.
Democrats
are doing a great job manufacturing poverty and homelessness even as they fail
to instill hope in Californians.
California
has four times more
homeless per capita and three times more poor per capita than the rest of
America. Half the homeless in America are in California, even though
California has only 12% of the U.S. population. Also, blacks are six
times more prevalent in the San Francisco homeless population than they are in
California in general.
The
homeless explosion has brought the return of third-world diseases like typhus
to California — not to mention streets littered with human feces.
Democrats are trying to keep people from having cars, just like
the people of the Third World. After all, a car gives people the
freedom to move, and freedom is a bad thing in the minds of Democrats since it
limits the power the government has over citizens.
Recently,
Gavin Newsom, the Democrat governor, transferred millions of dollars that the
voters had been ensured would go to improve the state's failing road
infrastructure to a fund designed to convince Californians to give up their
cars.
Democrats
are also working to make cars unaffordable for any but the richest
Californians.
Californians pay $1.53 more for a gallon for gasoline than the rest of
America. That's $21 more for a tank of gasoline. Facebook
employees won't notice it, but the poor in California who can't afford to live
near their jobs are paying through the teeth.
Like
all third-world tyrants, Democrats are doing everything they can to eliminate
democracy in California.
The
jungle primary, where the top two candidates in the primaries go against each
other, has resulted in many races where two Democrats are running against each
other, giving voters who don't agree with the Democrats' failed policies no one
to vote for.
California is doing nothing to ensure that people who shouldn't
vote don't vote. Instead, the people running the state are doing
everything possible to let illegal aliens vote. When illegal aliens
go pick up their driver's licenses, they're automatically enrolled to vote
unless they say they're not citizens.
California
is also trying to end democracy by keeping the Republican presidential
candidate off the ballot. Democrats passed an unconstitutional law
to keep any candidate who didn't release his tax returns off the ballot solely
to keep Californians from voting for Trump.
Finally,
the Democrats are going after freedom of the press. An undercover
journalist revealed that Planned Parenthood was selling aborted baby
parts. Instead of investigating that illegal practice, Democrat
Kamala Harris decided to put the journalist on trial.
Democrats
keep telling us California is the future if they get elected. That
means that poverty, homelessness, the end of democracy, and a press that
reports only what Democrats want heard are what Democrats are promising us.
If
you're an immensely wealthy Google employee, California is
Heaven. If you're not, it's becoming more and more like Hell.
