Elizabeth Warren’s signature policy proposal, the wealth tax, is probably unconstitutional. Her innumerable plans are seriously flawed, and have little chance of becoming law. Her insistence on “fighting” about everything will simply exhaust and further divide the American people. She has no meaningful experience in foreign policy, and what few ideas she has on dealing with the rest of the world sound like left-wing Trumpism. So is there a case for electing her?
Yes. As everyone knows, she’s very bright. She’s capable of changing her mind if the facts require it. Given the difficulty of her upbringing, she’s tough, and her heart is in the right place. She knows as much as anyone could know about personnel and the workings of the administrative state. She would be able to handle Putin’s dog. Her personal morality is beyond reproach. Overall, she would make a decent president.
And so, I will vote for her if she is the nominee, even though she is far from my first choice.
