Elizabeth Warren reveals dream running mate: Teddy Roosevelt
by Daniel Jativa
| March 08, 2019 08:07 PM
If Sen. Elizabeth Warren could choose anyone living or dead to be her running mate, it would be former Republican president Theodore Roosevelt, she claims.
She said the two-term Republican would be her ideal vice presidential pick. The Massachusetts Democrat told MSNBC that the two-term Republican president was a brave figure who would fit well with her message of breaking up big monopolies.
"He took on the trusts. And he didn't care how many people were going to be mad about it. And he did it — this is what's amazing — for the right reasons. It wasn't just that they were big. It wasn't just that they were dominating an economy. It wasn't just that they were putting farmers out of business and competitors out of business and small companies out of business," Warren said.
"It was that they had too much political power," she said. "And it was the very fact of that political power that caused Teddy Roosevelt to say I'm going to be a trust buster. Man, I'd like to have that guy at my side."

No that, there is a clever position.
Without endorsing Warren, it should be clearly known the Big Media outfite, steal and resell your privacy, addict you and your children, and hold immense sway to bias our politics and social culture.
Teddy and others broke up big banks, big oil in accordance with the precepts of our founders.

Teddy Roosevelt? It would have been news had she said Donald Trump.
Her preferred running mate no doubt would have been Huey Long.
He was crooked, but at least he was interesting.

FDR's Folly: How Roosevelt and His New Deal Prolonged the Great Depression
Why Did New Deal Spending Fail to Lift the American Economy?
Tuesday, July 06, 2010
he Great Depression of the 1930s was by far the greatest economic calamity in U.S. history. In 1931, the year before Franklin Roosevelt was elected president, unemployment in the United States had soared to an unprecedented 16.3 percent. In human terms that meant that over eight million Americans who wanted jobs could not find them. In 1939, after almost two full terms of Roosevelt and his New Deal, unemployment had not dropped, but had risen to 17.2 percent. Almost nine and one-half million Americans were unemployed.
On May 6, 1939, Henry Morgenthau, Roosevelt’s treasury secretary, confirmed the total failure of the New Deal to stop the Great Depression: “We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. . . . I say after eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started. . . . And an enormous debt to boot!†(For more information, see "What Caused the Great Depression?")
In FDR’s Folly, Jim Powell ably and clearly explains why New Deal spending failed to lift the American economy out of its morass. In a nutshell, Powell argues that the spending was doomed from the start to fail. Tax rates were hiked, which scooped capital out of investment and dumped it into dozens of hastily conceived government programs. Those programs quickly became politicized and produced unintended consequences, which plunged the American economy deeper into depression...............

Sen Lizzy Warren, the Delusional Candidate. Firt she professes to be a Native American, which secured for her a $400,000+ position at Harvard, and now she is saying her ideal running mate would be a Republican icon. Can't get much more delusional than that.
Her reality would be something far from Teddy.

Maybe she sees dead people. :shrug:

I was wondering how she'd partner up with "toxic masculinity". :shrug:
Teddy, who'd taken the law into his own hands to recover a stolen boat.
Teddy, whose outfit got machine guns from the Tiffany's, charging San Juan Hill.
Bull y...

Bully!

That was Teddy's niece's wife's husband, and also his cousin. Or something like that. Interesting family tree there.
