but I think they thought Bernie would sink and/or he wasn't in their lane, while Warren was seen as on the rise.

In that sense they did help to uplift Bernie and bring down Warren.

But by hitting Bernie she could've shown she was the rational choice for the left, as well as attracting some centrist voters who dislike Bernie and just want to see someone call him out.

But I guess it was risky also for her, due to backlash from Bernie's base.

All of the candidates should've pummelled Bernie - if he get's the nomination he would've snuck through without having to answer for his record or plans.

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

Why is mysogyny hurting Warren... but not Klobuchar? CalFione Feb 2020 #6

Warren is still polling in the 12s. klobuchar in 4s. Unfortunately she will get the same Kurt V. Feb 2020 #10

Warren doesn't attack teammates, she's wired to confront corruption. blm Feb 2020 #22

I totally agree that she is smarter than me and most people (including the other candidates). aikoaiko Feb 2020 #27

She tied herself too closely to Bernie and his promises. Blue_true Feb 2020 #25

Bingo. She should've pressed Bernie radius777 Feb 2020 #32

So Biden, Buttigieg, and Klobuchar could attack Warren but not Bernie, blm Feb 2020 #34

I think Warren's biggest mistake was cleaving too closely to Bernie's agenda CalFione Feb 2020 #26

Her Med4All plan was HERS and it didn't add burden to working families. blm Feb 2020 #33
