Los Angelo's Times just ran an opet about Elizabeth Warren's eliteism problem. The author is a guy named Joel Stein. He's a Warren fanboy. He says that she is a member of the intellectual elite and that he is too. And he says the fact that she's a Harvard law professor fills him with so much joy that it makes him swoon, which is no surprise coming from a guy who wrote a book called In Defense of Elitism. But here's the problem, says Mr. Stein. People don't like intellectual elites.
People don't appreciate ivy League pedigrees. And he says that that's why Donald Trump is president. Trump won because he's an anti elitist who beats up on the elites. Trump voters cheer when anybody in the media, or academia or government are taken down a notch. Now, this guy Stein says that he wishes that he lived in a time when progressive intellectual leaders like Elizabeth Warren were appreciated, because he claims far right nationalism is imperiling democracy all over
the world. Now, this guy may be smart, but how do we define smart? Because this guy doesn't get it. He and his fellow liberals embrace. A Harvard law grad for eight years, she lied to get the gig since she was an Indian. Obama was a member and good standing of the intellectual elite, and he imperiled the American whale life. The reason most voters will avoid Elizabeth Warren at all costs is because we've seen her and the elite in action, and we have learned they aren't smarter than we are.
