ELIZABETH WARREN WOULD BEAT TRUMP, if Schumer wasn't messing things up.

Well, as we move into day 28 of the longest Government Shutdown on record, it appears that Elizabeth Warren's POTUS COUSIN based qualification for being President -- and thereby becoming the first female POTUS -- have increased.

A video of her drinking beer brought her husband, Bruce Hartling MANN, into the picture.  And with that, a look at his family line.  It appears Bruce and Elizabeth are a traditional marry-back.  Both are POTUS COUSINS and direct descendants of the ancestors of 42 of the nations 44 Presidents (45 by an administration count in which 22 & 24 were the same person).

It appears that Warren is descendant along two lines and Mann along three -- with one line in common, but where all four lines come from the same parent.  Trump comes from the same two lines as Warren, but her spouse gives her the historic boost.

Trump's boost is derived from his short marriage to Marla Maples and their daughter, Tiffany.  Marla has four connections, two of which match Donald, and therefore Tiffany has four solid connections which she brings to the game, and which will -- if she decides to follow that route -- give her a distinctly traditional, subliminal voter advantage.  Tiffany becomes eligible to be POTUS in 2029, making 2032 the earliest she can run for the office.  She might well be President in 2052.

But for now, a contest between Trump and Warren would -- given the negative publicity aimed at Trump, the historic march gives Warren the advantage.

Now, where does Schumer play into the game?

Seem that the Government Shutdown will depress GDP and send the nation into a Recession -- the whole process can be stopped simply by giving Trump $5.7 Billion for the Wall/Fence which SCHUMER had voted for when the 2006 Secure Fence Act was passed and signed into law by GW BUSH.
That law was predicated on allocation $50 Billion over 25-years for completion and maintenance (with supporting services) of a fence along the southern border --the first 650-miles immediately funded and completed during the Obama Administration (Obama having earlier been a Senator who voted for the law).

Democrats have indicated $1.3 Billion is acceptable -- but that's less than the average of $2Billion associated with the 2006 law.  Moreover, the unwillingness to add the additional $4.4Billion has already begun to depress economic growth and therefore will depress revenues in the form of Taxes and other Federal revenue sources.
That loss has already been estimated at $18Billion, with updated data indicating the true loss could be double or triple that.  Thus, the Democratic battle being waged by SCHUMER says he is willing to spend $18Billion to deny Trump $4.4 Billion and risk the possibility that he will deny the Government $54Billion -- ten times the total appropriation needed for the Fence that Schumer approved in 2006.

Trump has no reason to yield.  In the image given us by THE GAME OF THRONES, it falls upon a Senator to "Bend the Knee" to the President, rather than a President "Bend the Knee" to a minority Senator.

If the Democrats can be blamed for the Recession -- and logically they would be -- any Candidate would carry the full negative ... Carter lost to Reagan because of the Economy and his being weak on Iran.  Clinton won against Bush because he worked with the axiom "It's the Economy Stupid".  Damage the economy while opposing funding legislation you voted for, and the voters will turn on you.
