Desperately seeking momentum in the crowded 2020 Democratic presidential primary race, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., keeps offering free new deals. But the more Warren embraces leftist statism, the more she builds President Trump his road to reelection.
It's political moderation, stupid.
Put simply, Warren's policies allow Trump to present his reelection as the more moderate, credible, alternative. Take Warren's latest proposal on Monday to wipe out college tuition debt for most students. As Phil Klein points out, Warren's plan is neither affordable nor morally just. Instead, it reflects one of the worst elements of the new American Left: the belief that wealthier Americans have a personal responsibility to earn a lot of money so that government can redistribute it to everyone else. It's classic class warfare populism: take the earnings of the most productive in society, and, without a view to boosting the central long-term driver of economic growth, productivity, give it to others.
