In reply to the discussion: Elizabeth Warren circles in Iowa as Joe Biden stumbles [View all]Demsrule86
(71,542 posts)112. The poll they site...she is losing by nine points...and that is Iowa only...she is losing in
other states as well...I see no surge myself. Perhaps among Sanders voters or Harris voters...not seeing it...and good. She won't win a general...although she would have of course have my vote.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Warren is only six years younger than him. Carter has been sharp as a tack into his 90s.

That"s Carter, not Joe. And Warren appears like she's 15 or 20 years younger in my view.
