...on Warren in recent days.

It was Biden a week or two ago, but seems the strategy has shifted with the recent poll results.

of BS and on the rise.

capacity? I think it will backfire and alienate his remaining sane supporters.

It's well documented that he's a micro manager. He knows and approves. Or he'd stop it.

Our candidates are strong and can run on their own merits, we don't need to have one bashing the others. This is feeling more and more like 2016 all the time. We can't come out of the primaries all bloody and weak.

His staff does what he wants, and he hired attack dogs to follow orders in the style he wishes.

As for like 2016 though , some state polls are showing him not breaking the 15% needed to get any delegates at all, and there's still plenty of time for his long decline to continue. A lot fewer people who voted for him out of spite against Hillary are interested in him this time.

Even worse for him, he'd have to have 300 to put his name in nomination, so it's possible he could be shut out of contention altogether. As a superdelegate, he can sit and watch of course, but his remnant "lock her up" types would have to do their acting out in the streets with the trumpsters.

Something to shoot for, but for sure his 2016 record is biting him in the ass big time.

Any way you look at it, it's divisive.

No one forced them to hire themselves out as attack dogs. Most people regard that behavior with great contempt, and it'll be interesting to see who hires them next.

As for divisive, sure, but you know he's what he's always been. More people know what that is now, though, and reject it. Bless his heart.

...of being shut out of 15-20 states, which is going to be a major blow to his candidacy.

Seriously, I avoid seeing him, but when I do he tends to sound tired and rote, "anyway, the Democrats do it too...", going through the motions on the way to whatever he plans for this convention. Hopefully, he'll get some rest there instead.

That is coming to pass.

Which means if I lose, I'll bring everyone else down with me."

Oooh, that’ll leave a mark.

dwindling cadre of supporters but few others.

He was playing complacent with thinking if they both join forces and jump on Biden, then Bernie becomes #1.

Instead Biden has held and Warren's campaigning has seen her surge. She is promoting what she is for, not who she is against.

Bernie has been left behind.

Voters are on to such tactics since 2016 and Democrats know that they imperil their nominee with such behavior.

I applaud Sen Warren, Joe Biden and Beto O'Rourke who have led a 100% positive campaign with no attacks on fellow Democrats.

This has been Bernie's consistent MO. While other candidates have pulled their punches, Bernie's campaign has been trying to knee cap other candidates from the get go.

While insisting he was the first one to talk about such issues because Democrats are the same as Republicans.
