Warren is exactly where a candidate would want to be right now in the polls although it's very early

[saljr1]

The candidates spoke yesterday at a union gathering and they all got polite applause but when Elizabeth got done speaking about her 10-point plan she got a rousing standing ovation according to media reports. Like I said in a earlier post last month, the more she speaks to the American people the higher her poll numbers will rise.

6. Wait until people get to know her...

...In an Emmerson college poll of Massachusetts voters conducted between April 4th and 7th, Warren is running third, behind Sanders and Biden. Please note that this is the only state or national poll that Biden is behind anyone. The point, however, is that Warren is garnering just 14 points and running behind both her chief rivals in Massachusetts, where the voters, especially Democratic, know her best.

7. NBC: "Union members gave Warren, who received standing ovations for

her calls to protect pensions, fight right-to-work laws, and combat the opioid crisis, credit for her longtime solidarity with organized labor. “She’s been with us for years," said Dennis Fleming, a sprinkler-fitter from Chicago. “We do recognize all that she’s done and stood behind us.”

Booker’s impassioned remarks, covering everything from trade policy, to his college football days at Stanford drew plaudits. “Being from the Northeast, I enjoyed hearing Cory Booker," said Michael Halpin, a national coordinator with the Elevator Industry Work Preservation Fund. "But all of them were very impressive. It’s really, really early in the game."

Attendees said they were looking for candidates to specifically focus on prevailing wages, proactive labor agreements, protecting the right to organize, and anything that could advance union density across the country. ...

Other 2020 Democrats who spoke at the conference include: Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, California Sen. Kamala Harris, Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan and California Eric Swalwell.

Predominantly white men, many of whom voted Republican and apparently wouldn't ashamed to do it again. Standing ovations from a rather tough crowd. Wish I'd been there.

8. ...but not where a candidate would want to be right now in terms of money.

Her symbolic decision to forego high dollar solicitations is going to come back to bite her.
