Elizabeth Warren's Insults Towards Short People Have Driven me to Vote Trump

Seattle, Washington will never be quite the same to me. I don't live there, but I do visit from time to time, and it is one of my favorite cities in America, no joke. I love the history of the town; from its founding by members of the Denny party (a fascinating group of people) to grunge music of the 90's, Seattle just fascinates me. While many don't think of it as a cultural hotspot, Seattle excels in both artistic endeavors as well as cuisine. I've been to the finest restaurants in London, Chicago, New York, Paris and more, however the dining in Seattle is on par to anywhere I've ever been. The natural beauty which surrounds the area is quite varied and breathtaking as well. Truly, Seattle is a city to behold.

However, there is now a dark stain on this town which I can't shake, and fear I never will. I twinge of pain in my chest will undoubtedly arise just from the mere mention of Seattle, as my heartbreak and disappointment knows no bounds. For over a decade, I have told people far and wide that Elizabeth Warren should be, and will be, the next President of the United States of America. She portrayal as a fighter for the downtrodden, the stepped on and the forgotten didn't just have me convinced, but it had me handing out Kool-Aid for her. She was all the good parts of Bernie, and all the good parts of Biden, without any of their negative traits. When various scandals arose around what her detractors described as lies, I ignored them. Instead, I believed her. I try and believe women, like we all should, after all. When her brother spoke out against her, I assumed it was just due to some long standing sibling rivalry. I never, ever, doubted her conviction to both her causes and to her own integrity. Seattle will forever be the city where she proved me wrong.

It is so easy to walk a walk, but to talk a talk, that is a whole different class of difficulty. I understand what it is like to have a momentary lapse of judgement, and I try not to judge a person by the worst actions, but by their best. Humans are complicated creatures, there is no denying that, so to write somebody off for having a few primal moments has never been something I am fond of doing, regardless of what side of the political aisle someone sits on. I defended Brett Kavanaugh and I defended Bill Clinton, because I think both of those men have a stellar record when it comes to humanitarian deeds. And I'll admit, what I am about to present isn't the biggest affront to humanity one could commit. In fact, one could easily argue it is hardly an offense at all! I would be that person making that claim in most cases, but I think Elizabeth Warren's completely deliberate attack on Mike Bloomberg's height says a lot about her as a person. Those things it says, they go opposite how she paints herself; they go opposite of how I was convinced she was.

Before I continue, let me share with you the joke which has completely made me quit believing in Elizabeth Warren:

“I want to talk specifically for just a minute at the top about a threat that is coming our way; and it’s a big threat, not a tall one, but a big one: Michael Bloomberg.”

I don't understand how Ms. Warren can pretend to be a champion of the women that Michael Bloomberg (allegedly) harassed verbally and made derogatory physical comments about while then making fun of his height. The logic behind the action is just impossible for me to find. If it is okay to make fun of men but not women, do I want a person in the White House who has a complete double standard on how people should be treated? Do I want a person in the White House who thinks that a person's height is something to judge them for? Do I want a person in the White House who thinks it is a negative trait to be short? The answer to all of those is of course no, which is why I hope neither Donald Trump or Elizabeth Warren win the next election.

Even if she was personally attacking Mike as some form of retribution for what he himself has said to others, does that negate the fact that her language is hurtful? I am pretty sure there isn't a man under six foot alive who would find this funny. Do you have to be a certain height to be considered a real man Ms. Warren? How tall is that height? Would it be okay to make fun of Mike Bloomberg's weight if he was obese? If Jerry Nadler upset you, could you make fun of him? Not to mention, if you operate under the logic that it is morally righteous to verbally insult a bully about his physical traits, then is it morally righteous to verbally insult a bully who is female about her physical traits? That would be equality, woult it not? And, to follow that logic even further, who is to say that these women Mike Bloomberg called "horse faced" and the like weren't deserving of such treatment? We don't know the details of the situation!

My bottom line is a person can't advocate on equality, being the bigger person and not judging people, then turn around and hurl around physical insults, completely deliberate ones might I add, in an attempt to get an applause of your most ardent supporters. To do so is complete Trumpian tactics, and with the illusion of Elizabeth Warren shattered for me, I am heartbroken. There is no other word for it. I don't mean in a romantic way, and I know I had never met the woman, but I loved Elizabeth Warren. I thought she was special, someone who understand why people become socialist while also understanding why it won't work. Her concepts of mixing socialism in areas like health care while maintaining a free market excited me, it was truly forward thinking. But now, knowing what I know about her, I can't support Warren, and Bernie will probably win if she doesn't anyway, so I am stuck between voting for someone who wants to be a communist dictator over America, and one who wants to be its lifelong King. I'll vote for the King if I can keep my capitalism anyway, and that is why the left has most likely lost my vote this election cycle.

I'll say this too: I wonder how many of those times Liz was accused of lying, she actually was lying. She lied about caring about American's equally. She lied when she pretended fighting for those who have been belittled, because she was just fighting for more money and power, saying whatever she could to earn those vices.
