'Elevating her game': Warren's punches pay off

[RandySF]

LAS VEGAS — Elizabeth Warren’s debate prep wasn’t that different from usual. About the same amount of time was allotted in the days leading up. No newbies came in to help. The same team practiced in another hotel conference room — this time the Bellagio.

The performance on stage Wednesday night, however, was new.

Prompted by her disappointing fourth-place finish in New Hampshire and the arrival of billionaire Mike Bloomberg on stage, the Massachusetts senator decided to start throwing more punches.

And she kept up the barrage Thursday, repeating and expanding her attacks on the former New York mayor to supporters, reporters, on "The View," and anyone else who would listen — seeming to believe that Bloomberg could give her an opening for a comeback.

1. Bloomberg is acting as a stand-in for Trump

In the passive way he took these attacks, he ended up in the role of a paper shooting-gallery target with Trump's face pasted onto it. The real message was "This is how I will take down Trump."

2. It was a solid performance.

She should be very pleased.

3. She elevated alright _

I thought her best moment was when she stood up for Amy against Pete's berating her for forgetting the name of Mexican Prez!!

She was THE adult in the room.
