Warren now saying Bloomberg should be disqualified to run

[Bengus81]

I guess if he doesn't use the contract she wrote for those NDA's. Warren making rules now of who can run for President and who can't?

[UniteFightBack]

1. Honestly she needs to stop this now. nt

[thesquanderer]

21. "Disqualifying" here is just a matter of personal opinion.

And of course, candidates want to persuade you to adopt their opinions as yours. But don't worry, she has no power to actually "qualify" or "disqualify" him from the nomination, any more than the DU posters who talk of disqualifying someone can. Only the DNC has such power.

[Bengus81]

27. Agreed so she should quit saying it to interviewers and I guess at rallys

Voters will decide who gets ultimately disqualified.

[thesquanderer]

28. I don't like the term either. But people are entitled to give their opinions. n/t

[Fresh_Start]

2. she's should be focused on Sanders...she already demolished bloomberg nt

nt

[PatSeg]

3. I agree

Right now, Sanders seems to be the bigger threat.

[democrattotheend]

8. I agree

I get why she is afraid to hit Bernie too hard though. A lot of people are still deciding between the two of them, plus I think they are (were) pretty good friends.

But she should stop going after Bloomberg, at least for now, and let him go after Bernie.

[ancianita]

15. She absolutely is NOT afraid to hit anyone. You must not believe her, a professor who can think

and act circles around these guys, when she says she's a fighter.

She hasn't proved that yet?

I'm not thinking about anything she "should" do. She's done very well without our advice since the first 20 candidates hit the primaries.

And I don't project fear onto Liz about anything.

[democrattotheend]

17. Maybe "afraid" was the wrong word

My understanding is that strategically, she decided it would be better not to attack Bernie too hard because she wants his supporters to either switch over to her or at least support her in the general if she wins the nomination. Also, she has probably noticed that other candidates have hurt themselves more than Bernie when they attacked Bernie.

[ancianita]

20. Maybe? Just a lot of gaslighting lingo tossed out that's got objectively nothing to do with Warren,

tossed off in an attempt to burden her with everyone's "safe" FUD issues.

Hillary went through this. We'd better learn how to fight that when it hits our remaining women candidates. They shouldn't have this extra layer of shit to wipe off every time they're in the arena.

[uponit7771]

22. She ether'd him, I don't know why he's around other than he's got a lot of commercials

[evertonfc]

4. Sanders

is her problem, not Bloomberg. Good grief

[cherryinpa]

5. Warren going in

For the kill.

This is the killer instinct we need in our candidate!

I've not been a fan of Warren but I got to say since Wed night I've been very impressed. She had more backbone than any of the other candidates on that stage. She took a risk and came out all guns blazing to take down the Republican usurper. Sure it was easy once Warren had proved he was weak for the others to pile in, but she took a personal risk.

Now she's going in for the kill.

The primaries need to weed out the weak-candidates so if she can take him out now its good, we don't need that baggage in Nov.

[ancianita]

9. This is IT. And when she comes out the OTHER end...

[Renew Deal]

6. She's going to be around long enough to see him drop out.

[Moderateguy]

10. Either she has accepted that she is not going to win OR

she is still misguidedly thinking that she is Bloomberg supporters 2nd choice.

[uponit7771]

23. She has a WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better chance of winning than "It was a joke" Bloomberg

[Moderateguy]

26. Not if she thinks that she is going to pick up Bloomberg supporters

They are more likely to go to Biden, not her

[uponit7771]

29. All 32 of Bloomberg's real supporters will be made up, his support is shallow at best

[Moderateguy]

30. We will find out Super Tuesday

[Lulu KC]

12. This and so many other things make me think of Putin and Trump messaging each other

Sometimes I am in meetings with blah-blah-blah people and my boss and I are messaging each other with hilarious comments to keep ourselves sane.
I imagine DT and Putin messaging each other as they watch this stuff saying, "We are going to so kill these people in November. Look at how they're wasting their time and energy."

Elizabeth has made a great point on the NDAs. Drafted the legal paperwork. Now get on with reaching the people who think she's a scary communist and win! Differentiate yourself from Bernie--you'll probably get his votes if you get ahead of him--or help someone else win, who's not Trump!

I want them all to sit down and take a break. Maybe do some teambuilding!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. I don't know how a person can be "disqualified" because nobody can do that

except for the voters. The DNC can't make Bloomberg withdraw (at least he's been a Democrat at times when he's not even running for president, unlike another candidate); there's no rule preventing him from running for president as a Democrat as long as he ascribes to the general principles of the party, which he seems to have done despite some instances of un-Democratic behavior, and he's Constitutionally eligible. I don't like Bloomberg and don't want him to be nominated, but he can't be "disqualified" by anybody but the voters. I do like Warren but that was not a very sensible remark.

What I really want her to do is go after Sanders the way she went after Bloomberg.

[Bengus81]

25. Agreed and Bernie needs to stop the Bloomberg buying the election crap

Bloomberg has yet to send me one CENT to vote for him. Does Sanders really think that if Bloomberg would come out against climate change,affordable health care and ending Unions that he could "buy" this election?

Thanks for telling me I'm too STUPID to know how to vote Bernie. Guess that's why we need the Electoral College.

[LenaBaby61]

31. "What I really want her to do is go after Sanders the way she went after Bloomberg."

God knows that I'm not in love with Bloomberg, but she really needs to start going after tRump again here soon as well, because that hog is is unhinged on 'roids now.

We all know that she'll destroy him in a debate one-on-one, but he's in survival mode, so he may not even give her the chance to debate him one-on-one on a stage if she ends up being the nominee because he's a fat, evil, sexually-assaulting, treasonous, emboldened coward on STEROIDS, breaking laws almost hourly now since his party of putin Senate turned him loose. Secondly, we know that whoever the Dem nominee is, he'll be coming after them with something the likes of which we've never seen before, because like I said and as we know, he'd in survival mode.

Save some of that real nasty bile for the fat, treasonous, ignorant, racist, sexually-assaulting hog installed into the White House by the party of putin and by his puppet-master putin.

[LanternWaste]

14. 'Should' is a different concept that 'can.'

You do know that, yes?

You do realize an opinion is neither a change in policy or in procedure, yes?

That her stating as such is not, as you so creatively alleged, "making rules...", it's merely (and pay close attention here, 'cause this seems a hard concept for you follow) an opinion.

[ancianita]

18. +1000

Everyone can stop the anti-Warren gaslighting slapfest right the hell now.

[patricia92243]

16. Oh hogwash.

[dalton99a]

19. Bloomberg is not an enemy of Democrats and is not her enemy in the primary

Bloomberg's chances are low anyway.

The guy is trying to help defeat Trump. Ignore him and let him run his ads.

[uponit7771]

24. HOW !? By splitting moderate vote that can win swing states !?

[Happy Hoosier]

32. She's gotta not overplay this...

She did well pasting him at the debate.

Kamala Harris made a mistake trying to ride her successful first debate up the polls, but it wears thin quickly.

But now take it to Trump and tell me about what you are gonna do.
