Is Elizabeth Warren Losing Momentum? Her Tiny Crowd in South Carolina Sure Looks Like It
Democratic “frontrunner” Elizabeth Warren seemed like she had the race for the presidential nominee by the tail after the last Democratic debate where she scored major points attacking Joe Biden and others. However, as she has become a favorite, people are finding out more about her policies and it looks like she may be starting to fade.

On Friday, Warren spoke to a “crowd” in Orangeburg, SC where a few dozen people showed up to hear her in an auditorium that had the capacity for hundreds.

The embarrassing receptions comes at a very trying time from the left wing socialist from Massachusetts. Since becoming the frontrunner, she has released her Medicare for all plan which set out incredibly unrealistic numbers backing up her claim that the Middle class will not have to pay for the plan via a tax hike.
Her plan to tax American billionaires at an insanely high rate is also drawing pointed criticism. Bill Gates said that if Warren wins the nomination he will vote for President Trump. JP Morgan CEO Jamie Diamon said that her tax plans “vilifies successful people.

"I've paid over $10 billion in taxes. I've paid more than anyone in taxes. If I had to pay $20 billion, it's fine."
"But when you say I should pay $100 billion, then I'm starting to do a little math over what I have left over."
While all this is going on, there is an even bigger factor looming over Warren’s possible nomination. Reports are that Democrats are so unhappy with the hodge-podge of uninspiring candidates that they have convinced billionaire Michael Bloomberg to enter the race to put up a candidate that would at least have a chance at competing with President Trump.

“It’s not enough to have somebody come in — anybody — and say they’re going to buy this election.”
