5. You assure me that I would attack you if you bashed Elizabeth Warren

And allow me to point out, in real time, that you do not know me and that you are making promises about my future behavior based upon nothing.

Bash her. See what happens.

For instance, the native American stuff exploded on her and is a giant liability for her campaign. If you were to say that it weakens her as a candidate, I would agree with you.

Maybe say that her Medicare for all discussion ended prematurely, and some of her proposals did not seem to have been fully thought through or costed.

Maybe identify statements from her in the past that you find problematic.

However, and allow me to say this kindly, your promises that I will attack you are based upon nothing.

Edit: if you were to say that her sudden turn against Bernie Sanders was clunky and off-putting, I would agree with that too. I do not like this current dust-up and I do not like how their personal relationship has become a focus. I think she could have been kinder to him, and I do think that when she went forward with the statement, she knew that it would explode. She's not a perfect human being, not a perfect candidate, and I can fully admit that she may have flaws as a candidate and a person. Still, I switched my support to her a few months ago, and I'm still there.

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