(113,176 posts)193. Baloney. Warren is the BEST candidate to take on Trump.
Her anti-corruption platform will be easily digested by the voters when she is making the case against Trump and the economic corruption that affects working families and their daily lives.
Your camp wants to take that excellence and toss it away to preserve the fragile egos of your strategists who effed up by smearing Warren for 3months straight as you laid off Sanders and everyone else.
