And There It Is…Kamala Harris Wants To Gut Private Health Insurance
We knew a far left wing platform was going to emerge this cycle. Heck, it happened in 2016, with the insurgent campaign of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). The Democratic Party’s era of even bigger government backed up with the promises of free stuff, along with economic ruin, is here to stay.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) came in third in Iowa, fourth in the New Hampshire and Nevada contests, and fifth in South Carolina. So why is she still in the race, and why does she think she has a plausible path to victory?
