Clinton doubles down on Sanders criticism, warns that he's promising 'the moon'

150. I'm not a supporter of Biden but I don't want his campaign to tank.

He's still the favorite. But you have to win in the primaries before winning in the GE, and so far, the Biden campaign has fallen short in fundraising, ground game, and now votes. I actually hope he turns it around because I don't want to see any segment of the Democratic base feel like they don't have a stake in the race. But if Sanders and Buttigieg are so weak as candidates, why did they beat Biden in Iowa?

Yes, Iowa and New Hampshire are predominantly white states, but all the leading candidates are also white. They face the same sequence of primaries. And these predominantly white states still have electoral votes. Iowa is close to being a purple state. It could flip to the Democratic column with a good GE campaign.

Buttigieg and Sanders built better campaign organizations in Iowa, despite having to balance campaigning with legislative responsibility. Biden hasn't been in office for a couple of years, so there's no reason not to build a powerful ground operation in Iowa. It's up to him to step it up.

I'm a Warren supporter, but more than that, I want a Democratic win in the fall. I congratulate primary winners even if they're not my candidate because it takes effort and moxie to win. At the end of the day only one candidate goes to the GE, so most of us will have to put the work in for someone we didn't prefer. I'm in the liberal wing of the party, so I'm accustomed to that.

Biden or not, we gotta win in the fall.
