Warren Rises, Democrats Wither

In every election there's a candidate the media class loves but normal Americans couldn't care less about.

Bruce Babbitt was that candidate in 1988, Paul Tsongas in 1992, Bill Bradley in 2000. We've just sent younger reader(s) on a Google hunt, which tells you all you need to know about those guys.

This year that candidate is Elizabeth Warren. She is of the elite, of course, being a college prof.  She's an urban dweller with all the right and proper attitudes. And she has ideas. Warren is a real policy wonk, and the media class love that crap. Good slogans win elections, not policy papers on indexing social security increases to inflation.

These candidates are always peripheral and go nowhere.

The problem for the Democrat Party is that Warren is the most viable candidate in a field filled with freaks, weirdos, man-children, geezers, NARCs and Jews.

And since Warren excites the media, the media excites her right back. It's all very mutual. Warren's other constituency are women of a certain age. She's got the osteoporosis crowd locked up. Also fake Indians.
