Elizabeth Warren, who lied about being a Native American so she could climb the ladder of academia more quickly, was in Seattle on Sunday. She drew a crowd of 15,000 at the Seattle Center.

I think that Elizabeth Warren is a more formidable challenger to Donald Trump than Joe Biden. First of all, the media is crazy about her. In a brand new national poll, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders were both ahead of Joe Biden.

She started out talking about the minimum wage.

A full-time minimum wage job in America will not keep a mama and a baby out of poverty. That is wrong and that is why I am in this fight.

Dori: Inslee out of 2020 presidential race

When was a minimum-wage job supposed to provide for a mom who has minimum-wage job skills? That was never what a minimum wage was supposed to be about.

She also wants to raise the income tax. On top of that, she wants a wealth tax for rich Americans, so that every year, they would have to give 2 percent of their net worth — not just their income, but their entire assets — to the federal government. Think about what that means. If you’ve saved $50 million, you would have to turn over $1 million every year to the federal government. Apparently she can spend that money better than anyone who earns that money.

When you see a government that works great for the rich, works great for those who can hire armies of lobbyists and lawyers, works great for the wealthy and well-connected, but is not working so well for much of anyone else, that is corruption, pure and simple.

Except we have the lowest unemployment rates ever in the black and Latino communities. We have wage growth across all sectors. The economy is working really well for people who want jobs.

And then, finally, she lost all credibility when she said this:

This entire country owes Governor Jay Inslee a big debt of gratitude. He has pushed the issue of climate change onto this debate agenda, and we need to thank him for that.

There you go. That clinches it right there.
