1. What does this mean?

Too many well paid core staffers and has to cut cost to afford to heavy media markets for supper Tuesday?
This is not a good sign for things extending past Super Tuesday.

[Jose Garcia]

2. It means her campaign in on its last leg

[at140]

5. Biden better win SC

otherwise his campaign money will start drying out.

[Jose Garcia]

8. SC is do or die for him

[Scurrilous]

54. Where's an oligarch when you need one? Oh, there you are.

Joe Biden to host more than 250 donors from Wall Street, big business at NYC fundraisers – here’s the guest list

'The first gathering is set to take place at Sarabeth’s restaurant earlier in the day in Manhattan and the second event will be at the nearby Wayfarer restaurant, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter, who declined to be named as these decisions are made in private. The guest list shows there will be at least 280 attendees split between the two events and each have contributed $2,800 to gain entrance. Nobody has dropped out of attending, these people noted.

There are many others who donated that same amount but could not attend, these people added.'

280 times $2,800.00?

'Jethro!''Commence to ciphering.'



'2 gazinta 4, 2 times, 3 gazinta to 9, 3 times.'

$784,000.00?

[BlueMTexpat]

38. Isn't that interesting

that you would think so?

She has raised USD five million since Iowa.

How's Joe doing?

[Jose Garcia]

42. Joe is in pretty bad shape too

If he doesn't finish strong in SC, he is done.

[Scurrilous]

53. Oh my bad god he's finished shape. Finished strong 3rd.

x 22.7 million

'Joe Biden’s presidential campaign took in $22.7 million in the fourth quarter, an improving fundraising pace that still lags some of his rivals for the 2020 Democratic nomination.

It marks the best cash haul for the former vice president so far, his campaign announced Thursday. It did not say how much money it had in the bank heading into January, the crucial final weeks before the first primary nominating contest in Iowa.

“We had a great quarter, and we’re going to expect another one next time,” Biden said in a video shared by his campaign.'

14. No, it means she burned through a lot of money on advertising in Iowa, where Sanders also burned

through a lot of money on advertising, more than anyone else.

A recent Politico article said Warren's spending on advertising in the last weeks before Iowa was second only to Sanders'.

[Indepatriot]

34. Good thing for Bernie he has more money, from more donors, than any other candidate!

And more volunteers as well. It takes money and shoe leather to win, and Bernie's supporters will keep ponying up, at $27.00 a pop, to get the job done.

[ehrnst]

47. Unless that number is inflated by people that give small donations 850+ times...

Does the source of your stat separate out individual donors from individual donations? Do share.

WASHINGTON—The February day that Sen. Bernie Sanders began his second Democratic presidential campaign, Christine Peloza gave him $27, the amount Mr. Sanders often boasted was the average donation in his first run. Then, she kept giving, in $3 increments, clicking donate up to 20 times a day.

By the end of June, Ms. Peloza, a 34-year-old office manager at an elderly care facility in Illinois, had donated more than 850 times to Mr. Sanders.

3. It means she is conceding SC and shifting money to best use in Nevada.

The day of her fourth-place finish in the New Hampshire primary, they cut another $370,000 in South Carolina, moving the majority of that money to Nevada, according to the Warren campaign. Nevada holds caucuses a week before the South Carolina primary.

I think they found their TV spending was ineffective. That's not a good sign. So they must be using that money for Get Out the Vote in Nevada.

Warren now needs to finish 3rd in Nevada AND beat BOTH Biden and Klobuchar to be viable going forward.

[Indepatriot]

6. If she has a good showing in Nevada, she can use that momentum to still be competitive in SC,

so focusing on GOTV in Nevada makes sense.

[totodeinhere]

12. The OP said she is cancelling TV ads in Nevada. Is that inaccurate? n/t

[bluewater]

16. two different points.

The article says she is canceling TV ads in Nevada , but also moving money from SC to Nevada.

The day of her fourth-place finish in the New Hampshire primary, they cut another $370,000 in South Carolina, moving the majority of that money to Nevada, according to the Warren campaign. Nevada holds caucuses a week before the South Carolina primary.

She is concentrating on Nevada and conceding SC, and not putting that money into TV.

Like I said, probably it's going into Get Out the Vote on the ground since Nevada is a caucus.

Her TV ads must have been ineffective.

[totodeinhere]

17. Thanks. n/t

[Laelth]

19. That's how I read the article, yes.

Plus, she's making a play for Maine on Super Tuesday.

-Laelth

[BlueMTexpat]

39. I don't necessarily see that as

"conceding" SC.

I see it more as putting the $$$ where she needs it NOW.

Per a mailing I received this am, the campaign has raised USD 5 million since Iowa and has set a new goal of USD 7 million by NV.

She is simply not spending beyond her means. Once she has the $$$, she'll move it back.

[bluewater]

45. Very good points.

I think you are correct.

A 2nd or 3rd place finish in Nevada would bounce her back up for SC.

[BlueMTexpat]

52. ...

I am hoping for at least that!

[Mike 03]

43. Oh, thank you for the clarification.

This is better news.

[W_HAMILTON]

4. I had just seen my first Warren ad on TV a few weeks ago.

[BlueIdaho]

7. That's sad...

This is never the sign of a healthy campaign. It can be explained away as adjusting resources - but it’s the canary in the coal mine really. If she starts laying off staff anywhere - then it’s over.

To be honest, I’m shocked.

[hangaleft]

35. I'm not shocked. I'm bummed.

Since I first voted for McGovern in 1972, I have enthusiastically voted for a presidential candidate twice. Count em, two times. In 1972 and 1984 (Mondale). In every other election I’ve had to hold my nose.

My support is the kiss of death. And, at 70, it doesn’t look like I’ll live to see the day a true progressive occupies the White House. Hell, if we don’t win in November we’re probably gonna be living under a fascist autocracy.

[MoonlitKnight]

36. Same here - but since 88

I might have shift strategy and contribute to who I want to drop out instead.

[BlueMTexpat]

40. Don't be bummed!

Elizabeth just does not want to spend beyond her means. But she's STILL in there.

She needs people on the ground to GOTV in NV,

And no, YOUR support is NOT the "kiss of death." You have apparently been voting like a good Dem for years. Just keep on keeping on!

[Mike 03]

44. Thank you. I was mis-interpreting this article.

[Happyhippychick]

9. This makes me sad. She's a wonderful candidate.

I hope she can stay in it.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

11. Me too, though I hope it's not over for Elizabeth... very sad to hear.

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join The Revolution!!

[mvd]

23. I agree!

I decided on Bernie but I would rather Warren go on than anyone other than Sanders.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

30. Warren has to be the most competent, intelligent female candidate to eva run for President!

The only thing Elizabeth lacks is more political experience... but then, Obama showed that shouldn't be a deal killer when other major positive attributes are factored in.

BTW, I believe that Elizabeth would make an EXCELLENT choice as President Sanders' VP... in case you couldn't already tell I support that decision.


Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join The Revolution!!

[calguy]

15. She's a great senator and a great American

But the sad truth is every single one of these candidates except one is going to not be the nominee. I'm concerned that my man Joe might be facing the same fate. When our candidate becomes the latest one to drop out then we just have to look for the next best candidate to get behind.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

31. Couldn't agree more!!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join The Revolution!!

[CentralMass]

27. Yes she is.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

10. Sad to hear that... not a good sign. I've always loved Elizabeth.

Hopefully, she'll have a good showing in Nevada and can turn things around!


Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join The Revolution!!

[uponit7771]

13. Damn

[Laelth]

18. That's a good article.

Warren is all but abandoning SC. She's focusing on NV, and then, on Super Tuesday, she's trying to grab Maine.

Nifty. We will see if it works.

-Laelth

[LeftTurn3623]

20. She needs to cancel her campaign

What’s the point. She basically saying she can’t compete in these 2 states so where does she go

[bluewater]

24. She can compete in Nevada.

For 3rd.

Who else is much stronger besides Bernie and Pete?

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

32. Agreed, Elizabeth's gettin 3rd place, at a MINIMUM, is an absolute must. Best of luck to her!!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join The Revolution!!

[bluewater]

33. 3rd place will be a real competition.

But she has a good shot at it.

Thanks for the kind words and support!

[Hekate]

29. Well aren't you special, LeftTurn3623

Are you sure you took a left turn?

[LeftTurn3623]

48. I want to narrow the field so Bernie doesnt run away with this

[Agschmid]

46. Unrec, she's third in delegate count at the moment.

[helpisontheway]

51. I hope she stays in past Nevada so her supporters don't jump over to Sanders

I want the other candidates to at least have the possibility of keeping Bernie from winning Nevada and South Carolina.

[Fiendish Thingy]

21. Just a reminder- Warren is 3rd in delegates, ahead of Amy and Biden

No reason for her to dropout before Super Tuesday, especially if Amy and Biden, who are at least as strapped for cash, don’t drop out.

[bluewater]

25. spot on.

[Bumperstickers]

22. If she gets 4th place in Nevada plus sc and does not drop out

You have to start questioning her motives.

[jcgoldie]

28. "questioning her motives"?

Thats so stupid. What questions exactly do you have about Elizabeth Warren's motives? Do tell.

[ehrnst]

57. You mean, if someone refuses to drop out after it's clear that they will not win...

You have to start questioning their motives?

You don't say....

[SamKnause]

26. I am sorry to hear this.

She is a wonderful candidate.

[MoonlitKnight]

37. TV ad money is just being wasted

With all of the Bloomberg and Steyer ads running.

It’s a smart move. Warren has the best infrastructure and should do very well on Super Tuesday.

She does need to come out swinging in the next debate. And swinging at Trump. Hit hard on her independent commission plan to investigate Trump administration corruption. Talk about the CFPB. If the moderators bring up healthcare plans for the billionth time she just needs to say she will sign what Bernie and Amy can deliver from the Senate and that we all want to improve healthcare but Democracy is on life support and you need a corruption fighter like her on your side. Just like she helped save our asses in the Great Recession and fought for reform- one of which was the CFPB.

Steyer needs to drop out and get back to organizing. We need him organizing protests ASAP.

[Gothmog]

49. I have received over a dozen texts from Warren asking for money since this weekend

[MoonlitKnight]

55. That is unfortunately normal for her campaign

Relentless texts and emails asking for donations. Her fundraising team needs to dial it back a bit. Hounding people for money just pisses people off.

And quit asking for five bucks. Ask for twenty “or whatever you can spare”.

[StevieM]

50. I suspect that Nevada will be her last stand.

I think she is hoping for a turnaround there. If she doesn't break through then I expect her to exit the race.

To be clear, I am only talking about my speculation. She has the right to stay in for as long as she wants and nobody should fault her for doing otherwise.

[Politicub]

56. I am pulling for Biden to win SC

He has worked hard for votes from the democratic electorate there.
