LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
N ot long ago there were more But lately it’s looking like there are only two donkeys in the race for the 2020 Democratic nomination – Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden. With Warren ahead by a nose (that she wants to poke into everything). Is Bernie Sanders still a serious contender? “Serious as a heart attack.” Unfortunately that phrase has taken on a new meaning for the old guy. I’m no kid myself and, in matters of personal health, I wish Bernie the best. But I also wish him farewell. Goodbye to you, you New Left leftover. Thus it’s time to take a closer look at the Warren and Biden campaign platforms. Democrats running for president than you could shake a stick at. (And they all wanted to tax the stick.)
One of them could win the White House. Both are leading Trump in head-to-head polls. (Although I have a feeling that Trump supporters use their phones to play catch with the dog when pollsters call.) But before we get into specifics let’s perform a rudimentary analysis called “Weigh the Bullshit” or “WBS.” What we do is we Google “Political positions of Elizabeth Warren” and “Political positions of Joe Biden” and print out their respective Wikipedia entries. Biden’s is 25 pages long but liberally interspersed with photos of Joe-Looking- Presidential and Joe-Being-Statesman-Like. It includes 151 reference notes. Warren’s is 42 pages of dense gray print with 251 reference notes.
