133. Elizabeth Warren would beat President Trump

Sat Nov 4, 2017, 04:18 PM

Nov 2017

Elizabeth Warren would go into the 2020 election against Trump and beat him.She will carry the Sanders populist progressive wing of the party which is popular by most of the country if we go by all the issues. Trump is getting less and less popular each day that goes by to the point he's bound to become an irrelevant president that people can't wait to vote him out. Warren would campaign on a progressive agenda much like Sanders did in 2016. She will most likely pick a VP from the Midwest/Rust Belt someone like Sherrod Brown that can attract working class voters who didn't vote in 2016 or win back votes that Trump won. Also Warren has her own coalition of women,millenial,and minority voters. That's something Clinton failed to win. So I say Elizabeth Warren for President 2020!!!!!!!
