This is news.. why are so many trying to kill the messenger instead of addressing the OP.. I've seen "..it's common practice.." or ".. she has the best ground game going..". that addresses the news... there's absolutely no reason to personally insult you.

I don't think less of Senator Warren for this added information but it's still interesting to know what's going on.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Hi Cha ... Bradshaw3 basic comment "you're smearing EW" hasn't got anything better. Thekaspervote Sep 2019 #31

Sigh.. It seemed like it was Cha Sep 2019 #39

Right!! I do not see Biden supporters bashing EW.. not at all Thekaspervote Sep 2019 #41

I'm sure you'll support your allegation with the data indicating its accuracy, yes? LanternWaste Sep 2019 #92

Yeah, Warren doesn't have any real support, or real crowds, and shows no warmth, blm Sep 2019 #11

I didn't say she didn't have any real support. But so much has been made of that 2-minute ovation highplainsdem Sep 2019 #14

Joe had his moments, too BeyondGeography Sep 2019 #16

So was Warren's pivot from "first lerst" to "first lesson" in the first lines of her speech. highplainsdem Sep 2019 #20

Plus who says Biden doesn't have any young supporters? BeyondGeography Sep 2019 #22

Jeez, what an odd comment. I didn't say anything about Biden not having any young supporters there. highplainsdem Sep 2019 #25

Nobody says that.. please Keep UP. Cha Sep 2019 #55

Did they? Okay. The only reports I'd seen had been about the Warren campaign. highplainsdem Sep 2019 #34

Sorry, I can't answer that. usrbs Sep 2019 #45

I've added to my OP to point out your reply here, and to ask anyone who knows what the other highplainsdem Sep 2019 #42

I consider such actions somewhat deceptive and in the end not effective anyway. Demsrule86 Sep 2019 #70

Mahalo, highplainsdem! Too bad for Cha Sep 2019 #10

I have said no derogatory words or attacks against your candidate. sheshe2 Sep 2019 #17

This is not derogatory, since there are no rules against what the Warren campaign did. highplainsdem Sep 2019 #24

Massachusetts Dems campaign all the time in N.H. because they share blm Sep 2019 #28

You say she paid people to be there, per the article. sheshe2 Sep 2019 #30

No. I said, per the reports, that her campaign paid for hundreds of tickets. And I've seen highplainsdem Sep 2019 #32

You say per the reports and I said per the article. sheshe2 Sep 2019 #40

I get the feeling that this is going to be the first real competitive primary a lot here have seen Blue_Adept Sep 2019 #60

So time for the other candidates Cha Sep 2019 #62

There was plenty of shame in 2016 on candidates for not doing a lot of basics Blue_Adept Sep 2019 #65

Shame on the US m$$$media for Cha Sep 2019 #66

Yeah well if folks think it was staged...that kind of ruins the perception...did you ever think Demsrule86 Sep 2019 #85

The signs those polls weren't outliers are beginning to show. kcr Sep 2019 #64

It isn't a negative post if you believe this is a good strategy and shows smart campaigning. highplainsdem Sep 2019 #81

Seems you feel compelled to "unskew" any positive news re Warren BeyondGeography Sep 2019 #82

You can't claim momentum without solid evidence...I don't see any. Demsrule86 Sep 2019 #87

It's good that you consistently reassure Warren supporters they have nothing to get excited about BeyondGeography Sep 2019 #89

Well the same can be true for Biden supporters...goes both ways. I call them like I see them. Demsrule86 Sep 2019 #94

It is a primary and supporters of EW are always posting stuff about Biden. Demsrule86 Sep 2019 #86
