Warren's base are Hillary supporters? [View all]

[crazytown]

It occurred to me. looking through the polls, that the demographic that most strongly supports Elizabeth Warren - older white college educated women, is the same group that identified most strongly with Hillary in 2008, and 2016. By way of contrast, Bernie's base is young non college graduate men. This is not Tump's base, by the way, which skews strongly towards older voters.

Sanders and Warren voters have astonishingly little in common

Elizabeth, like Hillary, is a policy wonk with a strong commitment to women's issues. Warrens signature wealth tax is tied to universal childcare, pre-k, tuition free public college and student loan forgiveness. She may not wear her feminism on her sleeve, but Warren lives it. After town halls she is known for telling little girls "I am running for to be president because that's what girl's do".

And there's one more thing. Warren is a party loyalist. Despite a long friendship with Bernie Sanders that began before she entered politics, she announced for Hillary as soon as Sanders' path to the nomination became mathematically impossible. At the DNC Convention Warren was seated next to Chelsea Clinton, applauding Bill as enthusiastically as anyone else.

If this reasoning is correct, there is a huge divide between Sanders and Warren's candidacies, whatever their policy similarities. If Elizabeth's campaign falters, her base won't be feeling the bern.
