The Winner Tonight: Elizabeth Warren

[crazytown]

in so many ways.

1. I tend to agree.

[Claritie Pixie]

2. Agree!

[highplainsdem]

3. LOL. No. Biden won.

[UniteFightBack]

4. I'm sure she is going to shoot straight to the top of the polls. I hate to burst your bubble but

that only will happen around here, not in the real world with real people who WANT TO WIN.

6. So your point is those supporting other candidates want tRump to win

What a ridiculous comment. Sorry to burst your bubble but people on DU are better informed than those just answering a poll. The fact Warren continues to rise while Biden falls says something.

[UniteFightBack]

12. My point is if you think she won this debate so handily she'll shoot up in the polls.

No shit that folks on DU are better informed but hate to break it to you but that ain't the rest of America.

The DU poll means NOTHING.

[Bradshaw3]

13. The opinion of most is that she won the debates

Whehter she "shoots up in the polls" depends on a lot of factors; it's not always a direct coorelation. Biden supporters seem to think his lead in the polls is some kind of great validation, but that can easily change with gaffes and a bad performance. Right now, they are clinging to those polls as if they had nothing else. They had better hope that's not the case.

And, hate to break it to you, but polls at this point mean NOTHING when it comes to who will be the Democratic nominee. Previous polling has shown that. As the voting comes nearer, people will become more informed, just like those on DU.

5. She's won every time she's debated. IMHO nt

7. I'll vote for any Democrat against Trump but Warren has shown by far to have the pulse and energy of

the Democratic Party. She has been relentless on her tour of the country putting out her policy beliefs. Biden is the status quo, boring and past his time. I want a progressive agenda moving the country forward for real change. The answer is Liz and Pete on the same ticket. Both of these people will not make major gaffes and speak plainly and communicate effectively with people.

9. There will be no enthusiasm gap with Warren

Biden, otoh:

...there’s an enthusiasm gap for Biden among some primary voters, the poll found. A majority of those surveyed, 56%, said Warren would fight “a great deal” for people like them, and 54% said the same of Sanders. Only 38% described Biden that way.

When asked who has been the most “passionate” so far, Warren and Sanders each had 28%, while Biden had just 14%. Warren, who has touted her policy proposals, was seen as the most specific candidate, with 42%, while Harris was seen as the strongest with 32%.

8. She has been outstanding! nt

[watoos]

10. Neither Harris nor Biden stood out to me tonight.

Joe should have had an answer ready for why Obama deported more people than Trump? He should have known he was going to get that question. It's the law wasn't a good answer.

Looks like YANG - WILLIAMSON - 2020. They both actually did quite well.

[kaiserhog]

11. I tend to agree as well.

I did think the piling on of Joe Biden was unseemly from the other candidates though.
