got no boost and recognition from the press Notice how much press Amy got when she got third in New Hampshire. Plus the media claimed her debate performance was so superior to the rest and talked about it endlessly. Never forget that the media got Trump elected. They actually covered an empty podium and I never saw them waiting and airing a Hillary speech! She only got negative coverage.

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

What happened to Elizabeth? [View all] kentuck Feb 2020 OP

THe media erased her by ignoring her showing in Iowa. N/T lapucelle Feb 2020 #1

"Three tickets out of Iowa" JaneQPublic Feb 2020 #4

Yup. The media decided that the voters only wanted ONE progressive and Baitball Blogger Feb 2020 #13

Yes, and they misunderstand "progressive", IMO MH1 Feb 2020 #27

Or does the media want Sanders because they think Trump will defeat him? Lonestarblue Feb 2020 #51

Health care was the #1 issue out of the midterms. TwilightZone Feb 2020 #2

I agree with this sentence: northoftheborder Feb 2020 #3

She is in Nevada now and in 3rd place in the polls there. HeartlandProgressive Feb 2020 #5

No rational explanation for this DeeDeeNY Feb 2020 #6

Thx for link. Very important to know. n/t Beartracks Feb 2020 #52

Have either Warren or Sanders actually explained, luvtheGWN Feb 2020 #54

I thought they had, but I could be wrong. alarimer Feb 2020 #71

It should be Warren and Biden at the top fighting it out. Clear lack of judgement. nt UniteFightBack Feb 2020 #7

100% agreed. nt Codeine Feb 2020 #19

This is more less what I thought would happen too. Mike 03 Feb 2020 #60

She is the oldest woman in the race. Zoonart Feb 2020 #8

Warren is the best choice imo and I will wait until Super Tuesday. BeckyDem Feb 2020 #10

"Concept without content" Codeine Feb 2020 #17

Use it in good health often. :-) CincyDem Feb 2020 #30

Your summary is exactly right DeeDeeNY Feb 2020 #22

AOC endorsed and campaigned for Sanders. Laelth Feb 2020 #14

I think that you have BlueMTexpat Feb 2020 #44

I don't blame you for that one bit. Kudos. Laelth Feb 2020 #46

I think it was when AOC walked in that really weakened Warren's campaign also. krissey Feb 2020 #64

That, I think, is when Warren's numbers started to drop. Laelth Feb 2020 #65

Yes. And it was right after his heart attack, when his number should have been nothing. krissey Feb 2020 #68

The MFA contingent was already hitched Codeine Feb 2020 #15

She peaked early Saviolo Feb 2020 #16

Stick in there, Senator. /nt philly_bob Feb 2020 #18

If she can stay funded through March, she may be 1 of 3 remaining candidates Fiendish Thingy Feb 2020 #20

Part of it is Bernie has a very loyal following marlakay Feb 2020 #21

I think this is a lot of it. TDale313 Feb 2020 #35

Warren reminds me of a organized mom marlakay Feb 2020 #37

This is true and the media loves to Wiseman32218 Feb 2020 #62

I'm surprised that Elizabeth, who famously has a plan for that, didn't BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #23

Also, she's not good at attacking her fellow Democrats. She is a decent soul BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #24

Unless you're corrupt - then she morphs into an assassin. blm Feb 2020 #79

Oh yeah, absolutely. She does save her ire for the right people. BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #81

It is a subtle thing, but she lost the fighter vibe. judeling Feb 2020 #25

The Warren-Sanders "She Said, He Said" thing didn't work out well for her either aikoaiko Feb 2020 #29

My problem is I can't seem to fall in love with Bernie katmondoo Feb 2020 #38

I get it. cilla4progress Feb 2020 #42

I think the issue has hurt Bernie, also. kentuck Feb 2020 #32

I'm guessing there are a lot of Warren supporters like myself (older, educated, white, female) who.. LAS14 Feb 2020 #34

I think AOC may have given both her and Bernie an opt-out on their position...? kentuck Feb 2020 #43

She Needs to Be on the Ticket McKim Feb 2020 #53

With her plan to address corruption, the powers that be have decided to erase her dlk Feb 2020 #55

I think she said something along the lines of: tiredtoo Feb 2020 #56

She's been my candidate since Nov. 2016 eissa Feb 2020 #57

Media icing her because 99% of them are wealthy corporatists cp Feb 2020 #59

You may be on to something there. kentuck Feb 2020 #63

Exactly. Nt dflprincess Feb 2020 #76

She undermined her own strengths, then got negative in an unappealing way Sympthsical Feb 2020 #61
