(7,654 posts)so I mean I suppose she could briefly hit 2.
But she's not the first or second or even third story tonight.
Heck she's not even the fourth story.
Biden
Harris
Booker
Warren
Those are the top four most talked about things. Gabbard is mentioned only in that she attacked Harris, not for anything she actually did for herself.
So if her mission was to temporarily harm Harris, maybe...we will see. I doubt it last long...things will settle back to status quo like they did after the last debate more or less and the top four will remain the top four with Buttigieg fifth. Possible she and Buttigieg slightly swap positions but that's about it.
Booker will rise. Warren will rise. Biden and Bernie probably stabilized. Castro probably gets to two percent now.
Gabbard? No one is going to remember anything other than her attack on Harris, and that won't be remembered in a few weeks as we move on to something else.
No one is talking about her, they are talking about Harris...or Biden...or Booker...or how this was good for Warren...or how no one has broken out yet...or about attacking Obama.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
