field and spans the entire Democratic political spectrum.

Great news! I'm very pleased to hear this, but... I'm not at all surprised. I think that most voters are starting to figure out BS and the BS campaign. They're rejecting his message and his lack of any real-world plans on how to accomplish all the grand promises being made. It's one thing to make promises, but it's quite another to demonstrate to educated, realistic, and discerning voters exactly HOW it is that all the promises are going to be kept.

Also, I think the almost nonstop smears and denigration of the Democratic party (and Democratic leadership) may have made BS a less desirable choice. At this critical time, party loyalty is very important to me and many others apparently too. It simply makes no sense for anyone on "our side" to be call the Democratic party "corrupt" or "feeble" or "the party of the elite" or saying there's "no difference" between the Democrats and the GOP. In all cases, nothing could be further from the truth.

The thing is... that kind of talk promotes negativity. Negativity generates apathy. Apathy discourages support and voting for Democratic candidates... and that just makes it easier for the GOP and Trump and Russia to steal elections.

Would you ask your boyfriend or girlfriend out to see a Sanders event? A 30 minute hate doesn’t exactly set the right tone for a romantic evening.

That seems nuts.

"a romantic evening".

the scrum. Both saw polling drop but they kept at it. Both are showing amazing energy and policy chops. I really think that Senator Warren, in particular, is taking away Bernie's support. Once it is clear to the far left that Senator Warren is the only rational choice for their block, Bernie's support will likely crater toward low single digits.

his poll numbers. He'll consider it a bonus if she continues to attack Biden.

My advice to AOC : "tread lightly".

She is keeping her options open to support Warren as an alternative. I wouldn't be surprised if AOC doesn't make a decision until after the New Hampshire primary.

she will ultimately support.

dropping as people drawn by a vague familiarity are learning more about him. And about their other choices.

Note also that she has not endorsed him.

she can't shake off because they might turn on her and take her out, or comrades in the revolution?

She would be smarter to back Senator Warren.

she is like Bernie. She and Nancy have the same moxy.

In her district there is a young slightly order (early thirties) progressive who is now a New York State Senator. At some point AOC will alienate enough people in her district for an ambitious politician or public figure that lives there to challenge her in the democratic primary, with a good short at beating her.

that she is a bit overrated and exposed, but not sure what you typed is true either.

She's certainly honest and authentic. Voters like that. She's in a pretty blue district with very liberal values.

And now she's the incumbent, with the advantages that come with that.

The only real risk she faces is if her district thinks she's not for them or she does the same thing the incumbent she beat did in ignoring a primary foe and not doing the hard work...but she doesn't seem like the not doing hard work type to me, so I suspect that doesn't happen.

persistent angry yelling. I honestly can't listen to it anymore. I've always like Bernie Sanders, but he has become too exhausting for me. A candidate has to mix some optimism and hope with the angry indignation.

Considering that so many other 2020 candidates are so attractive to younger supporters, I'm surprised he hasn't dropped in the youth category more than he has. I'd have to guess that Mayor Pete and Beto O'Rourke have cut into Bernie's corp of young voters somewhat, as well as a few other of our candidates who've cut into it as well.

Senator Warren took it. She is a much more natural fit for his supporters than Beto or Buttigieg are.

sanders is not trying to win a majority of the party but wants to get to the convention with 30% of the delegates. That is less likely now
