Seriously! It's gonna backfire on ol' Joe... just like it did on Kamala, as she has steadily faded. InAbLuEsTaTe Oct 2019 #44

Nope.Biden didn't attack her. He corrected her. I will concede that like Kamala Kahuna7 Oct 2019 #74

Too bad Warren didn't focus on Trump using the power of his office to attack a political rival. Demsrule86 Oct 2019 #92

Her plan is to defer to Bernie Otto Lidenbrock Oct 2019 #5

Look at the CNN article linked to in that thread. highplainsdem Oct 2019 #18

I read it. I am asking you, what do you believe she needs to fix? BeckyDem Oct 2019 #19

That millions want choice is not bs. That attitude toward the American public is not a winning one emmaverybo Oct 2019 #29

They want less coverage? That is what they will receive when they get sick. BeckyDem Oct 2019 #30

No. Many wanting choice have excellent coverage. It is simply not true that all plans are as emmaverybo Oct 2019 #33

I'm sure that Elizabeth Warren is due some criticism but not bullying for political gain. abqtommy Oct 2019 #14

I see no reason why criticism cannot be used as a bullying tactic by man, abqtommy Oct 2019 #56

Criticism is not bullying. I am quite sure Warren would not let herself be bullied. emmaverybo Oct 2019 #59

I meant because he's a man and she's a woman. You did not see Amy's quite assertive challenge emmaverybo Oct 2019 #85

These are the same people, saying Biden bullied Warren, but boy she's Kahuna7 Oct 2019 #72

It is not a plan...and it will never work. Joe is right and Americans agree with him. Demsrule86 Oct 2019 #95

He didn't say it wouldn't work. He said there's no plan. TCJ70 Oct 2019 #97

Clearly he meant no plan to pay for it. emmaverybo Oct 2019 #102
