How Warren's supporters plan to poach Biden backers [View all] bluewater Jun 2019 OP

If she wants to win, she can't just overtake Bernie, Tiggeroshii Jun 2019 #1

Both BS and Warren are not going to overtake Biden unless something drastic happens. George II Jun 2019 #4

Both BERNIE SANDERS and Warrren will overtake Biden Tiggeroshii Jun 2019 #5

Good on you. nt KPN Jun 2019 #7

Bernie will not ever overtake Biden katmondoo Jun 2019 #19

"...by your inconsistency it is clear of your intent." Tiggeroshii Jun 2019 #39

Actually I did finished the sentence. NurseJackie Jun 2019 #46

If you are only using his intitials and not anybody else's, there has to be a reason if it is not Tiggeroshii Jun 2019 #53

Much as the inconsistency by referring to Jimmy Carter and JFK. LanternWaste Jun 2019 #54

Difference is his supporters referred to him as JFK affectionately Tiggeroshii Jun 2019 #60

Oh dear! NurseJackie Jun 2019 #66

That is a no. You will not refer to him as such if he wins the nomination Tiggeroshii Jun 2019 #67

Yes I would. Of course I would. NurseJackie Jun 2019 #78

Oh? Tiggeroshii Jun 2019 #79

I'll bet you he's got thicker skin that you imagine. NurseJackie Jun 2019 #83

We know what you mean by BS NJ LiberalLovinLug Jun 2019 #111

Ha! Good one! Thank you! NurseJackie Jun 2019 #128

So BS doesn't mean anything else to you? Tiggeroshii Jun 2019 #117

It's just a coincidence, I'm sure. NurseJackie Jun 2019 #129

That's the biggest load of BS I've ever heard. Tiggeroshii Jun 2019 #143

Uppercase letters are his initials. Lowercase letters mean "bullshit". NurseJackie Jun 2019 #144

This is hilarious. cwydro Jun 2019 #133

Sure the EW supporters aren't as sensitive either. :) Tiggeroshii Jun 2019 #142

No reason for anyone to be sensitive. NurseJackie Jun 2019 #145

Cheers. Tiggeroshii Jun 2019 #147

Gerne! Sicher! NurseJackie Jun 2019 #148

Ha! NurseJackie Jun 2019 #65

Well you certainly dont have to, but your motives are clear. Tiggeroshii Jun 2019 #68

They are? NurseJackie Jun 2019 #80

Your motives are clear. Tiggeroshii Jun 2019 #81

Not really, but someone's are. MrsCoffee Jun 2019 #84

Yet you won't say what you think they are. NurseJackie Jun 2019 #86

.. Tiggeroshii Jun 2019 #91

Thanks for proving my point. You can't have it both ways. NurseJackie Jun 2019 #92

... Tiggeroshii Jun 2019 #94

An veiled accusation was made about me, and I called it out. NurseJackie Jun 2019 #95

Well call out whatever mysterious accusation you think is made about you. Tiggeroshii Jun 2019 #101

It is a transparent juvenile effort... tonedevil Jun 2019 #112

Thank you! Tiggeroshii Jun 2019 #116

Aww. cwydro Jun 2019 #134

What would make you say that bull shit. /nt tonedevil Jun 2019 #137

Bwhaha! cwydro Jun 2019 #139

No it's not. NurseJackie Jun 2019 #130

As convincing as a chocolate covered three year old... tonedevil Jun 2019 #138

Ha! NurseJackie Jun 2019 #146

Try "Your inconsistency only makes your intent clear." This revision makes your sentence more clear emmaverybo Jun 2019 #57

I said what I meant and I meant what I said. Tiggeroshii Jun 2019 #59

The revision preserves your meaning without the sentence errors which serve to distort. Better yet, emmaverybo Jun 2019 #71

Fair enough. Tiggeroshii Jun 2019 #103

You berry welcome. You a good sport. Berry gracious. 👋 emmaverybo Jun 2019 #119

Lol! That hit me the same way too! cwydro Jun 2019 #132

What "intent" is that? (nt) ehrnst Jun 2019 #136

One or the other will though LiberalLovinLug Jun 2019 #24

That sounds very plausible. Tiggeroshii Jun 2019 #29

Polling has suggested Sanders' supporters second choice is Biden. emmaverybo Jun 2019 #58

Either Warren or Sanders must get out or...they split the vote...so I hope they both Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #12

Nah they will simply add to the proportion of like minded Democrats through persuasion. Tiggeroshii Jun 2019 #15

Biden will have an unbreakable lead in my opinion on super Tuesday. Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #16

Well he has almost year to get that to happen Tiggeroshii Jun 2019 #17

I don't see it as fragile...there are moderate Democrats who will vote for Biden... Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #18

It is fragile only at this point. Tiggeroshii Jun 2019 #40

How can you tell his lead is fragile? Measuring its strength by his opponents' swift-boating only emmaverybo Jun 2019 #55

Certainly is fear here. Coming from a certain camp. cwydro Jun 2019 #140

With sanders holding a 33% negativity and 20% of Americans wanting him to drop out of the race Thekaspervote Jun 2019 #42

It won't happen, but if Sander's supporters switched to Warren that would be a game changer still_one Jun 2019 #21

Nice fantasy .... LibFarmer Jun 2019 #25

Good luck with that Green Line Jun 2019 #2

Ammmmmmmeeennnnnn Butterflylady Jun 2019 #6

The only movement of support will be from BS to Warren, and we've already seen it starting. George II Jun 2019 #11

Poach? That's a loaded word. It implies a nefarious approach to gain support. Politicub Jun 2019 #3

The week doesn't usually use loaded words like these. hedda_foil Jun 2019 #8

UK English usage? bluewater Jun 2019 #9

Good point customerserviceguy Jun 2019 #69

I think some are trying to use Warren's momentum to attack other Dems blm Jun 2019 #20

I think you are right Andy823 Jun 2019 #34

👍🏼 blm Jun 2019 #37

Never switch to Warren or anyone else...He is the only one who can win. I won't back anyone else Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #10

They won't "poach", or "snag", or "snatch" me or any other sincere Biden voters.... George II Jun 2019 #100

They wish...the next set of polls will show nothing has changed in my opinion...and I believe Biden Demsrule86 Jun 2019 #108

Mahalo, Peacetrain! Cha Jun 2019 #76

The assessment that Biden supporters are getting ready to bolt I don't think is correct still_one Jun 2019 #23

Yep. Scurrilous Jun 2019 #72

I like Elizabeth Warren. BUT . . . peggysue2 Jun 2019 #27

Thank you... finally some sanity!! Thekaspervote Jun 2019 #45

Point by point, an excellent analysis, one that explains his lead, and the basis of his support. The emmaverybo Jun 2019 #61

Warren is trying to move the center to the left, the same way Reagan moved it right. marylandblue Jun 2019 #77

Gracias, Peggysue, for laying out Cha Jun 2019 #96

We'll see how that works in the first debate customerserviceguy Jun 2019 #70

She doesn't have baggage. She's a clean, straight-shooter blm Jun 2019 #35

I like Elizabeth, but Hillary pulverized trump in the debates..and here we are lunamagica Jun 2019 #56

I asked that question in a response post to that claim. What "baggage"? nt Blue_true Jun 2019 #114

I have friend that live in Massachusetts. Blue_true Jun 2019 #113

The whole ancestry thing was badly bungled redstateblues Jun 2019 #121

She did bungle it, but now she recovered. As long as she stays on message, she's good. marylandblue Jun 2019 #149

Trump tried that Pocahontas thing against her when she campaigned for Hillary in 2016. Blue_true Jun 2019 #152

The Massachusetts people say that was tried against her in the General of her Blue_true Jun 2019 #151

This stream of divisive posts feels more like an undermining of Warren blm Jun 2019 #33

Doesn't it thou!! Thekaspervote Jun 2019 #47

The post kicking off this discussion is the problem. It certainly doesn't express anything positive emmaverybo Jun 2019 #63

I concur blm Jun 2019 #73

It will be interesting to see where the Biden supporters go when he eventually withdraws. DCofVA Jun 2019 #41

Really??? I didn't sense that all Thekaspervote Jun 2019 #49

If Joe goes, I have a feeling most of us will be taking a second look at Kamala Harris. I will. nt Tarheel_Dem Jun 2019 #89

Disagree. TwilightZone Jun 2019 #99

the progressive vote isnt just sanders and warren, you would have to include anyone that was backing questionseverything Jun 2019 #102

Friends from Massachusetts said that when she first announced for the US Senate, Blue_true Jun 2019 #115

What's funny is that they really have no idea who is switching. MineralMan Jun 2019 #51

Go for it! Faux pas Jun 2019 #52

Well, Biden isn't even among my top five for the BlueMTexpat Jun 2019 #62

They don't have to poach Biden's supporters, just have to wait till he implodes. Autumn Jun 2019 #74

Another nasty and insulting anti-Biden comment, but also offensive to his supporters here. NT emmaverybo Jun 2019 #97

Everything is nasty and insulting to you. Sorry but Biden is 24 on my list. Autumn Jun 2019 #110

I will just refrain from commenting on your comments. emmaverybo Jun 2019 #118

That works for me. nt Autumn Jun 2019 #120
