is very likely. Even if EW were to quit her current share of 10% will not give him the needed 50%. Of course, We have a long way to go.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

If Warren really wants to get this nomination, she has to stop being every Berner's second choice [View all] CalFione Feb 2020 OP

The last time she attacked Bernie she tanked in the polls. HerbChestnut Feb 2020 #1

Then she's destined to at-best come in second to Bernie CalFione Feb 2020 #4

This. Don't attack Bernie. No need. Red Oak Feb 2020 #16

She was attacked mercilessly by Bros. Snake and all. They went after Warren again last night krissey Feb 2020 #25

It's so frustrating. LisaM Feb 2020 #57

Still am excited for Amy! northoftheborder Feb 2020 #2

She's got time. I trust her judgment. We needn't have it all right now. ancianita Feb 2020 #3

Not as much time as you think. 12 days. CalFione Feb 2020 #5

You're right. I stand corrected. She does need to win a few states soon. ancianita Feb 2020 #7

Right squirecam Feb 2020 #24

If she doesn't, what do you think that means? ancianita Feb 2020 #32

That she doesn't want squirecam Feb 2020 #44

It could mean other things. That she, Sanders and Biden have made an agreement. ancianita Feb 2020 #49

She sanders and Biden agree on what? squirecam Feb 2020 #50

That she'll be the VP for one of them,they'll serve one term;she'll succeed one as incumbent in 2024 ancianita Feb 2020 #52

Disagree. Liz is my girl, but I didn't like her attack on Bernie eissa Feb 2020 #6

When did she attack Bernie? I never saw it even once. ancianita Feb 2020 #9

The accusation that he didn't think a woman could be POTUS eissa Feb 2020 #17

I think it was totally believable that Sanders said he didn't think a woman could win seeing krissey Feb 2020 #31

She won't be the nominee then. squirecam Feb 2020 #45

Warren needs to hit hard the differences and her solid position within the party. krissey Feb 2020 #56

It's a fact. He did say it. That doesn't make it an attack. Not shaking hands isn't an attack, eithe ancianita Feb 2020 #35

Bernie isn't Mike eissa Feb 2020 #43

After Super tuesday squirecam Feb 2020 #46

She didn't "attack." Period. Her confronting was different and appropriate. Bernie needs to own up ancianita Feb 2020 #48

If Bernie isn't taken down a peg, she has no path to winning CalFione Feb 2020 #10

Elizabeth Warren has a very good chance at the nomination. 33taw Feb 2020 #8

In a brokered convention, I agree with you. CalFione Feb 2020 #12

Did you see how they treated her when she said that Sanders told her a woman can't win? W_HAMILTON Feb 2020 #22

She can't be a unity candidate at convention unless she has a sizeable chunk of delegates herself CalFione Feb 2020 #26

True. W_HAMILTON Feb 2020 #30

53% would vote dem, that leaves a whopping 47% that won't if we do not elect Sanders. Doesn't matte krissey Feb 2020 #34

When it comes to Warren, we have to remember all the tactics and mindsets used against Hillary. ancianita Feb 2020 #36

The tactics used against Hillary was basically to make shit up. W_HAMILTON Feb 2020 #39

Yep. True that. ancianita Feb 2020 #42

We don't have winner take all MoonlitKnight Feb 2020 #59

She needs to differentiate herself from Bernie but not attacj aikoaiko Feb 2020 #11

Maybe "attack" is too strong... but she needs to flip from being "1b" for progressives to "1a" CalFione Feb 2020 #13

If Sanders were not running, she would get my vote. W_HAMILTON Feb 2020 #14

Warren could get the delegates of the moderate candidates if she goes into Milwaukee strong CalFione Feb 2020 #18

More than half of Warren supporters are not of the Sander block. Warren has a lot of solid krissey Feb 2020 #38

Correct. Warren is acceptable to DNC insiders, regular Democrats, *AND* to most Bernie supporters CalFione Feb 2020 #41

Yes. I agree krissey Feb 2020 #54

Lol. MrsCoffee Feb 2020 #19

Warren makes a big deal of being a capitalist, Bernie out of being a Democratic socialist andym Feb 2020 #21

I agree CalFione Feb 2020 #27

I agree. She needs to make more clear the difference. And maybe how she works within the party krissey Feb 2020 #40
