Warren – A Manchurian Candidate?
It would be interesting to investigate whether the campaign
of Senator Elizabeth Warren has received any support from Russian sources. Her early run for the 2020 US, Presidential
election must be comforting to President Trump.
He is likely confident that holding together the same “base” that
defeated Hillary Clinton would be easy if Senator Warren were his opponent, and
the Russians who backed his candidacy in 2016 could see someone of Warren’s
extreme progressive policies even more frightening to moderate voters than
Clinton’s sense of entitlement.
Because of that development, a second Trump administration could
be saddled with a Democrat-controlled House and/or Senate. Parliamentary government would result if
there were a 60-seat Democrat majority in the upper chamber. That would allow Trump to bask in the glory of
holding the White House without necessarily preventing the functioning of
government. It is embarrassing to be able to imagine that America might be
wiling to abandon its reliance on the checks and balances written into the
Constitution by our founding fathers when confronted with the fascination of a determined
bloc of voters by a deluded showman like
Donald Trump.
