Warren speaking now -- MSNBC!

[highplainsdem]

She congratulates Bernie, but thanks Nevada for keeping her in the fight.

And she says that a quarter of a million people have contributed $9 million to her campaign since the debate.


Oh, ugh. MSNBC cut off Warren's speech so Reid could talk to Nina Turner.

1. Hitting Doomberg now...

[squirecam]

2. And immediately attacks Bloomberg

Bloomberg isn’t stopping her from being President.

Sanders is.

[highplainsdem]

3. Bloomberg is an easier target for her than Sanders is.

[squirecam]

5. Fine

Sanders gets the nomination.

That’s whats it’s come to. You either attack the easy target and lose, or go after the actual front runner.....

[blm]

11. Joe and Pete camps went after Warren all last fall as they gave Sanders a pass.

There was only one person keeping Sanders numbers down last year and that was Warren.

But, noooooo.....Ego before party. Gee....if only we can knockout Warren we can haz all the cheeseburgers.

Just as I warned for months, Joe and Pete were helping Bernie every time they attacked Warren.

[squirecam]

14. You can complain but it's useless.

The time is now. If Warren goes after Bloomberg and ignores Sanders, then Sanders is getting the nomination. The past is over.

It’s now or never.

Tuesday will show whether Warren wants to win, or is happy just stopping Bloomberg.

[blm]

16. Gee, Joe and Pete's braintrusts told them to attack Warren for 3mths

and lay off Sanders, and now Warren is needed to attack Sanders because Joe and Pete just....won’t....do....it.

[squirecam]

18. So it's complaining...

Guess you are fine with Sanders then.

[blm]

22. I'm not. Joe and Pete made that choice. They preferred Sanders

become the nominee than a Democrat named Warren.

[denem]

27. You've got it wrong squirecam

if Warren is to win support from the berners, it is the moderates who have to take on Sanders, in the same way that Warren has taken on Bloomberg

Warren will not win over Sanders supporters by starting a bitter fire fight with their man - that is the job of those candidates who have the biggest policy differences with him.

Biden and Buttigieg would/will benefit the most if Warren takes Bloomberg out. Warren will benefit the most if Biden and Buttigieg take on/out Sanders. That's how it works.

And Pete made an excellent start on that tonight..

[squirecam]

30. There is no time.

After South Carolina, there will either be one or two candidates that can actually win a majority. That’s Sanders or Biden. If Sanders wins, it’s over.

If Biden wins, maybe he can pull it out.

But Warren has NO chance of gaining a majority after Super Tuesday. Right now, she does not lead in ANY Super Tuesday state. Not even Massachusetts. If she leaves Sanders alone, then he gets a plurality, if not a majority.

The fact is, there are too many Warren supporters who are just fine with Sanders as the nominee. And that’s fine if that’s your position. Just admit it.

But if you are NOT fine with Sanders, then you gotta face facts. Warren cannot get a majority unless she goes through Sanders.

And she can’t ever do that by being his best buddy.

[denem]

33. As far as SC is concerned -

don't you think to most effective was for Biden to win is for he, and Buttigieg to take Sanders head on?

This whole election cycle I have been banging my head on the floor watching Biden treat Sanders with kid gloves. I could see the danger, why couldn't he? Why did he aim his fire on Warren, while praising Sanders for his honesty. As little as two debates ago, he gave Sanders a big hug! Geez.

Anyway, we disagree on the tactics, but not the objective.

[squirecam]

34. Biden is simply not good at debates.

Pete would rather attack Amy instead of focusing on Sanders.

The fact is, Warren is not only more effective, but any votes Warren manages to take from Sanders likely goes to her. So it helps her twice.

In any case, time has run out. Tuesday is the last debate that matters.

[IluvPitties]

4. She is fixated on the wrong guy.

Or, she is just in to help Bernie now?

[squirecam]

6. Exactly

Nt

[blm]

19. Joe was helping Bernie all last fall when he spent 3mths attacking Warren

and completely laid off Sanders.

I warned many times here that Joe and Pete’s attacks on Warren were growing Sanders numbers.

They made their choice....they would rather Sanders win than Warren.

[MoonlitKnight]

24. +1,000,000,000

Everyone was beating up on Warren. Now they are mad she isn’t going after Sanders so they don’t have to.

And by the way, she has gone after Sanders. More so than anyone else.

[wisteria]

7. Exactly, I just don't understand this strategy of hers.

Other than raising money.

[Blue_true]

36. She may be trying a complex triangulation.

Bloomberg is constraining Biden. If she eliminates Bloomberg, that directly helps Biden massively, pushing him past Sanders. The Bloomberg votes certainly WILL NOT go to Sanders, so the more she reduces Bloomberg, the more she helps Biden.

I think that she realizes that she is done, but that Bloomberg is hurting Biden. Based upon hints that she has gave, she seems to be worried about the socialist thing with Sanders.

[Democrats Ascendant]

8. Focused on the wrong guy, but still love hearing her, BUT

then switch away to Nina Turner and her aspirated aggressiveness...

[Blue_true]

37. She may be trying to help Biden. Bloomberg being in the race hurts Biden.

I do believe that the other candidates need to take off the gloves with Sanders and hit him hard on guns, his Russian sanctions votes. They really need to absolutely pin Sanders down on his exact political philosophy, the only one who shouldn't try that is Bloomberg because he would help Sanders with such an attack.

[andym]

9. She needs to pivot back to what she is fighting for

Her result in NV was expected given that 2/3-3/4 of the votes at the "caucus" were recorded before the debate.

[Bumperstickers]

10. Warren is pivoting to being Sanders vp

She congratulated Sanders victory enthusiastically in her speech, she did not say one other word about the frontrunner and she went after his biggest competition in Bloomberg again.

She ia now pivoting to Sanders attack dog vp.

[blm]

12. She is not.

[squirecam]

15. We will see at the Tuesday debate.

Nt

[blm]

25. You want her to wear a skirt Joe and Pete can BOTH hide behind?

Why don’t you advise your guys to tear into Sanders? For a change.

[squirecam]

29. I don't have any boys.

I support Amy.

Who was the *only* one who raised her hand when asked if Anyone had an issue with a socialist leading the ticket.

So don’t bring that stuff to me. I’m not asking Warren to do anything I didn’t expect Amy to do herself. You seem to want to keep harping on this same tired line.

Either Warren actually wants to be the nominee or she does not. If she doesn’t go after Sanders, then we know she’d rather be best buddies then be president.

It’s Tuesday, or she can forget being the nominee. Her choice.

[blm]

32. Gotcha. She needs to wear an extra large skirt.

[juxtaposed]

13. I would love to see her stay in the race. Maybe a sanders warren ticket

[Buckeye_Democrat]

35. +1

[ecstatic]

17. I'm panicking now. Thinking of switching to Biden

I saw her speech and it didn't seem to match the moment.

Bloom isn't the one running off with the election. That would be Bernie.

I don't think going with my heart is still an option this go round. 😢

[squirecam]

20. Exactly

Warren is not trying to win unless she shows the same fire against Bernie that she showed against the other Dems. That just leads to a Sanders victory.

[blm]

26. Joe is not trying to win unless he shows the same fire against Sanders

that he showed against Warren for 3 months straight. That just lead to an increase in Sanders chance to declare victory.

Good thing Warren isn’t grudging against Joe, and even helping him out the most by taking aim at Bloomberg so effectively.

[Kaleva]

21. I think she's near the end as I said in another thread.

She hasn't done well in the first 3 states and is expected to do poorly in upcoming SC. She's not in contention in any of the Super Tuesday states and is essentially in a tie with Sanders in her home state.

[Faux pas]

23. Once again

media picks "our" candidate by ignoring/disregarding the viable woman in the pack.

[budkin]

28. I'm still with Liz

Comeback incoming...

[squirecam]

31. Without going through Sanders

She will never get a majority to be the nominee.
