Where I disagree with her is on her statement about policy.
Her argument is the gay mayor is light on policy.
She wrote, "Meanwhile, Warren — no matter your politics, there’s no arguing she’s far more experienced and substantive than Buttigieg — announces the radical new policy of forgiving college loan debt and can’t draw eyeballs back her way."
As Leo Durocher never said, nice guys finish seventh; policy wonks finish eighth.
Ask Mike Dukakis how that works.
Earlier, Callahan wrote in her column, "This 37-year-old mayor of South Bend, Indiana, we are giddily informed, is checking all the right boxes: He served in the Navy and deployed to Afghanistan as an intelligence officer; he speaks seven languages; his father is an immigrant; he’s a Harvard grad and a Rhodes scholar; he plays piano; he has two rescue dogs; and — the piece de resistance — he’s a Christian gay man!"
Warren checks the boxes as a Fake Indian. She built her career on that. Now it gives her 1/1,024th of a chance to be president.
And it is all about checking the boxes for Democrats when they win.
Dukakis was a wonk.
Bill Clinton was new Southerner who redeemed Southern slavery and segregation by being a pragmatic liberal without being Jimmy Carter v2.0.
Al Gore was a wonk.
John Kerry was a Vietnam veteran but he sold out his fellow veterans which cost him in the end.
Obama was Will Smith.
Hillary was a woman but she was hated by other women which cost her in the end.
Policy is something a president farms out to guys like Stephen Miller. Warren may be playing to write the Democrat platform. Who knows? I don't care, do U?
A leader paints a big picture. He says we're moving the embassy to Jerusalem. Then he gives the ambassador a budget and tells him to find a suitable place. Oh and he has six months to make it happen.
Hillary as co-president never got Hillarycare off the ground because she was too involved in writing it. Her husband saw a catastrophe coming and did the minimum to try to stop it. It was a molehill not worth dying on.
Obama let the Senate handle it. Obamacare was a disaster but he saved himself from paying the price for failure by adding free birth control.
Columnist Callahan complained that the media is giving the gay mayor a free ride.
It gave a free ride to the Fake Hispanic.
It gave a free ride to the Fake Indian.
It will give a free ride to the one after the gay mayor.
