Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said on Tuesday that while she believes Donald Trump’s positions on immigration should disqualify him from becoming president, she supports his call to raise taxes on the wealthy.
“There are a lot of places where he gets out and talks about important things,” Warren said of Trump on ABC’s “The View.” “Like Donald Trump and I both agree that there ought to be more taxation of the billionaires, the people who are making their money on Wall Street.”
She said that it’s not a “liberal position,” but the “right” one.
However, Warren did not exactly endorse Trump, and made sure to bash his immigration proposals.
“Because he’s the one who said he wants to rip 11 million people who live in this country right now, rip them out of their families, take them away and deport them. For me, that just scratches his name off the list. You can’t be president of the United States if that’s your view about how we’re going to solve immigration reform. That’s wrong,” she said.
New York Times columnist Paul Krugman also wrote in a Monday column that Trump is “right on economics,” given the real estate mogul’s position on taxes and health care.

I hate it when Trump occasionally says things that I am forced to agree with, but Warren is right. And the derp is so strong among Trump supporters that they’d never actually hear it said if it wasn’t him saying it.
When it comes to Dems, even trolling is “nuanced.”
Thanks to Trump, what Liz Warren is talking about is more exposed as an idea.
To me, its value is not to Trump’s supporters (who would be counted upon to enslave or subjugate minorities at the earliest opportunity, tax or no tax), but to enlighten tens of millions of otherwise distracted people who do not willingly (because of MSM derp) watch the other broadcast outlets and Progressive online and print materials which have been saying these things Forever and a Day.
Mark my words, Trump with be the nominee, and we’ll all be sweating bullets on election night watching a too close to call race.
Right. Exactly where I was going with it. Trump also eviscerated Scott Walker in a way a Democrat never could, basically by using the entire playbook the left was using, but within the epistemically closed right-wing bubble.
