Elizabeth Warren is wrapping up a crazy good speech in Seattle.

[LisaM]

We went down to hear her, but were in the overflow crowd. She came out and spoke to us first.

She was sharp and focused, inspiring and energetic. She'll probably get zero coverage on the news, which is frustrating.and depressing.

She's now doing a selfie line for everyone who wants a selfie, including the people who couldn't get in.

She was absolutely amazing and the crowd was super enthusiastic.

1. If she comes to Orlando, would love to hear DUers get together just to

get in that selfie line.

7. Great speech

3. It was a great speech....but....

Unless she starts going after Bernie harder, she has no chance at the nomination.

Either the gloves have to come off, and these candidates need to kneecap Bernie, or he waltzes to the nom.

9. She us making a strategic decision

in not attacking Sanders. It would create too much division among Dems due to the passion of Sanders supporters. I think she is right about that.

Instead, she focuses on winning people over to her. She could use some good media coverage and significant endorsements now. And a lot of help from boots on the ground among her supporters. We could call out the media for ignoring her.

4. I don't get the lack of coverage of Warren.

She is highly qualified, markedly energetic, and an excellent candidate. Candidly, the way that DU is behaving around voters choosing Sanders (so far, at least.. many states to weigh in on that yet) makes me wish that the progressive wing puts its eggs in her basket. The ugliness and threats to take their ball and go home play right in to the trump supporters' hands.

12. I suspect tbat they are ignoring her because

they prefer to see a fight between Sanders and Trump. The headlines of "fascist vs. socialist" (although I doubt they would openly call Trump a fascist) are too hard for them to pass up. There's money for them in that kind of fight.

The fact that Warren is a smart, qualified, and strong person who is also progressive but more "within the system" than Sanders is more threatening to the corporate media owners.

5. Warren is a good candidate

But she either has to win something quick- or else she needs to step aside. She has about two weeks to make a first place showing or she must drop out.

[LisaM]

6. She should not drop out.

It's February, for Crissake.

[James48]

8. In two more weeks

It will be March. And after Super Tuesday, more than a third of all delegates will have been chosen.

Yes, If she doesn’t win any states by Super Tuesday, she needs to drop out.

The biggest Super Tuesday delegate hauls will be from California and Texas, but there will be other primaries in the South (Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama, Arkansas, Tennessee, Oklahoma), New England (Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont), the West (Colorado, Utah), and the Midwest (Minnesota), and caucuses in American Samoa.

Those, plus South Carolina is coming up next. If she doesn’t win any of the above, she has no path to victory.

I’m with Bernie.

14. She will drop out if she chooses

to. That is her call, not yours or Sanders'.

[Buzz cook]

10. Fuck that

Warren will keep running till there is no other option. If Sanders had acted on your advice in 2016 he would have dropped out before California.

[James48]

13. Buzz, you are wrong

Bernie had won first place in 16 states by the end of March , 2016, including four of the first six contests. He had a clear path to win in 2016.

Warren needs to win first in SOME contests by the end of Super Tuesday, or there is no path for her to win at all.

Face it- she CAN still win, but it will take a great deal to overcome Bernie’s momentum. All I said was- she has two weeks to change the dynamic, but only if she wins something. If she continues to place 3rd or worse in the next two weeks, she has no path to win, and she should drop out.

15. That might be true if Dem primaries

were winner take all. But we apportion delelegates.

Clinton failed to recognize that in 2008 against Obama.

It ain't over 'til it's over.

11. I am getting pissed at MSNBC, they cut off her speech in Seattle

They have been putting Warren in a black hole. A week or so ago The Nation had a good article on the erasure of Elizabeth Warren.

[wnylib]

17. That is because, as the nominee,

Warren would be a more formidable candidate against Trump than Sanders. Media, whether left ir right, have corporate owners.

16. WOW! what a great thread LisaM:

I am impressed with your thread but more impressed with the reply's
(thank you, thank you very much).

[LisaM]

18. Just had a friend send a picture of his selfie with her!

He left at ten and said she still had 200 people lined up. The event started at 6:00.

[erlewyne]

19. I hate to dwell, but I have to compliment.

Thank you

It means very much to me, reading your good news.
