(11,773 posts)negotiations, then he best be working on reining in the surrogates, socialist podcasters and his big groups of bros who spend days and nights trashing Warren. The heinous filth they spew daily about EW will not entice Warren's base to switch to Sanders. They did the same with Buttigieg with homophobic filth and attacks. I don't know what they are, but they are not progressives. Warren is part of the progressive wing, and so are her supporters, but there's no way in hell I want to be associated with the shit coming from parts of the Sander' campaign.

(68,730 posts)with Sander nasty Twitter followers...just don't endorse. Warren became my second choice during the debates. And I have to say she was treated dreadfully... Biden was attacked by the media...but she was ignored which I have come to believe is worse...lt was like she was invisible.

(630 posts)I think the election is going to move forward without him much quicker this time. Biden has strong appeal in the rust belt, where Hillary didn't. Tuesday the 10th Biden will will Michigan, along with Missouri and Mississippi, and be very competitive in WA. The following week, Ohio and especially Florida will have an opportunity to be the knockout punch. Joe may well be on a path to an absolute first ballot majority at that time. I assume Bernie will go on for a bit but aside from the real fever swamps at JPR/TYT etc, i don't think the vitriol for Hillary exists to the same degree for Joe. A losing, aggrieved campaign may have a harder time sustaining itself. Just one fella's opinion.

(86,867 posts)Even if she "let's him off the hook" on some of his responses, I see her exposing his weak points by letting him make them. At this time people are scrutinizing and they probably are going to think a lot of what we are thinking at the moment.
After browsing that FIOA email dump of 600 pages, I can't see him as a viable option in a position of power. Someone posted a notated version of them last night and it was fascinating to see who and how all the players in the American coup were connected and pulled it off. Everyone we suspect and then some. Hard to read but well worth it.

(53,925 posts)formative years to fear socialism, the USSR, Red China, the iron curtain, failed communist communes, Khrushchev, Brezhnev, etc. Many know better now but millions of voters still retain those views and fears.
What I don't understand is how, Sanders, a grown-ass man, who has lived in this country all his life can so misread the zeitgeist of the nation and mislead his supporters into thinking that this country will elect a socialist when there are still millions like the low-info boobs you ran intoespecially now when there is no economic downturn. It's just not going to happen. His naivete is stunning. Why do you think trump and the repugs keep pushing for Sanders? They know the country is not going to elect a socialist so they want him to be trump's opponent.

(16,887 posts)You ask why he thinks now is the time the country will finally elect a "socialist" when all the data shows that they would vote in a Muslim before a Socialist?
It's called denial and that an old man knows his time is running out....

I thought her asking whether his name on the ballot will be helpful for Bullock running for Senate in Montana was a moment worth a pause or two.

Jarqui
(10,131 posts)And somehow, because sixty billionaires gave $2,800 = $168,000 to Biden's campaign, that is going to tilt the election to corporate America. That impugns Biden's integrity and the integrity of his supporters.
Did Bernie supporters Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, Danny Devito, Rhea Perlman, John Cusack, Danny Glover, Jack Nicholson, Mark Ruffalo, etc all go bankrupt and fail to match the billionaires $2,800 donations?

(24,259 posts)Except for Bill Clinton with his wife running, I don't't recall many, if any president, or past one, endorsing a specific candidate during the primaries do you? It seems like they normally tend to try and stay, at least outwardly, neutral until after the convention.

(19,982 posts)expand his base, in fact he couldn't get the much touted Youth Vote out to vote in the Primaries, and when she put that to him, all he could say was "They'll come out in the General". The truth of it is that he was hoping to win the nomination by capturing 35% of the Democratic Party, which might have been successful if there was a low turnout on the anti Bernie side, and a high turnout voting for him. Neither happened, it was the reverse.
