No she didn't rockfordfile Feb 2020 #74

I suspect she'll be out after NH n/t left-of-center2012 Feb 2020 #21

Nice. denem Feb 2020 #25

Nah. She organized early in 31 states to withstand initial losses blm Feb 2020 #37

Where have you been during BlueMTexpat Feb 2020 #42

She's a woman. CrispyQ Feb 2020 #4

Every time I hear her talk superpatriotman Feb 2020 #5

Warren says how she will get things done, denem Feb 2020 #10

I don't either, but suspect it was the distortions and misrepresentations from her competitors still_one Feb 2020 #8

Medicare for All freepotter Feb 2020 #56

Warren already addressed that by saying people can keep their existing plan if they like it still_one Feb 2020 #57

Which means it's not "Medicare For All" Recursion Feb 2020 #101

A lot of people don't understand the issue MoonlitKnight Feb 2020 #95

but Bernie is also evasive about the costs of his plans Fresh_Start Feb 2020 #69

Good point. Their plans seem pretty similar. Chemisse Feb 2020 #92
