Warren did best last night contrasting herself with Sanders, wasted time going after Bloomberg [View all] highplainsdem Feb 2020 OP

No attack on Bloomberg is wasted. LaurenOlimina Feb 2020 #1

I think she is solidifying her position as VP to Bernie, stockpiling delegates for the convention Baclava Feb 2020 #2

You may be right. kentuck Feb 2020 #4

If Sanders is at the top of the ticket, we lose. Warren won't be able to save that ticket as VP. highplainsdem Feb 2020 #5

you don't think extolling the virtues of Fidel Castro is a winning strategy? still_one Feb 2020 #7

For some odd reason, I think that and a lot of the things Sanders has said and done are problematic. highplainsdem Feb 2020 #10

no kidding. I am not sure if Warren would accept the VP nod from Sanders. By doing that if Sanders still_one Feb 2020 #11

The debates are over, the race could well be over after Super Tues if Bernie sweeps Calif Baclava Feb 2020 #9

Hoping so. JudyM Feb 2020 #6

She has no chance. Mr. Sparkle Feb 2020 #25

She would bring delegates to the table BeyondGeography Feb 2020 #34

re: "The VP is used to get supporters inwhich the main candidate, has trouble connecting with." thesquanderer Feb 2020 #39

She is clearly auditioning for the role of VP at this point. I think she's top of the list now Johonny Feb 2020 #26

Yeah a 78 year old with heart problems picking a 70 year old for VP Moderateguy Feb 2020 #35

Liz as VP works for me, she can clearly carry the progressive banner into the convention Baclava Feb 2020 #37

Are you suggesting two progressives on the ticket? Moderateguy Feb 2020 #38

Why not? We've seen two moderates and two conservatives win. (n/t) thesquanderer Feb 2020 #40

Moot point anyways as Sanders would never pick Warren Moderateguy Feb 2020 #41

I suspect we'll see him choose a VP with that quality. thesquanderer Feb 2020 #44

But are his supporters willing to accept... Moderateguy Feb 2020 #46

Warren and Sanders are both running on a 4 year transition to MFA. thesquanderer Feb 2020 #50

Absolutely, consolidate her plans with his base, easy peasy, rock n roll Baclava Feb 2020 #52

BIIIIIINNGGOOOOO!! AS I'VE BEEN SAYING... GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE!! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #53

Let me write that slogan, "Stronger Together!" lol Baclava Feb 2020 #55

You know it... as we ALL are!! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #57

In my opinion, they are afraid of Bloombergs money on down the road... kentuck Feb 2020 #3

If anything, Warren's teardowns of Bloomberg boost Biden's numbers blm Feb 2020 #13

She is a big picture strategic thinker. She knows Bberg will do the least to root out corruption JudyM Feb 2020 #8

Why is Bloomberg in the race?! Trump wont debate Warren so Warren gets the stage by herself and uponit7771 Feb 2020 #12

Probably he wants to be President. Just like all the others. BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #15

By splitting the moderate vote and getting Sanders in? tia uponit7771 Feb 2020 #16

Same could be said for all of them who aren't Bernie. BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #17

No, Warren is not splitting the moderate vote and Pete and Amy are low single digits Bloomber uponit7771 Feb 2020 #19

I know this sounds crazy to you, but there are people who don't prefer Biden. BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #23

If Bloomberg's swing state numbers were beating Red Don outside of MOE for last 3 months ... uponit7771 Feb 2020 #24

I'm not putting too much stock in that yet. BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #27

Of course but waiting on something to happen vs having the data to beat Trump NOW are two different uponit7771 Feb 2020 #28

The hyper-focus part is one of the reasons why I prefer Mike. Dude's got BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #29

He has to start now not after the convention ... we'll see. Bloomberg should be eating Trumps ... uponit7771 Feb 2020 #30

Bloomberg may well end up kneecapping Biden far more than any other one factor Celerity Feb 2020 #18

+1 uponit7771 Feb 2020 #20

Indeed. Attacking Bloomberg doesnt help our cause. honest.abe Feb 2020 #21

It's not "our cause" pinkstarburst Feb 2020 #43

"Our cause" meaning bigger picture.. at least for those who see the danger of a Bernie nomination. honest.abe Feb 2020 #56

Maybe she's saying what she thinks. David__77 Feb 2020 #22

Time for her to drop out Watchfoxheadexplodes Feb 2020 #31

97% of delegates have yet to vote, she's a fighter, she's not going anywhere Baclava Feb 2020 #32

She has no map to the nomination with Sanders blocking every possible path Kaleva Feb 2020 #59

Like I said a 100 times, she's going for VP at the convention Baclava Feb 2020 #61

She does have a good chance for that. Kaleva Feb 2020 #62

No reason to drop out pinkstarburst Feb 2020 #45

re: "She's got pledged delegates. If she drops out she'll be forced to release them." thesquanderer Feb 2020 #47

Warren is putting country and party first MoonlitKnight Feb 2020 #33

Biden needs Amy to win Minnesota. squirecam Feb 2020 #36

I think there's a misconception pinkstarburst Feb 2020 #49

That's pretty much my list MoonlitKnight Feb 2020 #58

re: "wasted time going after Bloomberg" - I heard Carville saying that. I think it's wrong. thesquanderer Feb 2020 #42

Warren is incompetent from a situational standpoint Awsi Dooger Feb 2020 #48

You have it backwards booley Feb 2020 #51

POINT WELL TAKEN!! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2020 #54

Being "liked" will not win her any states. Kaleva Feb 2020 #60

In this case "why we liked her" should be read as "why we wanted to vote for her." (n/t) thesquanderer Feb 2020 #65

No, all of the other candidates need to go after Bloomberg with all they've got. totodeinhere Feb 2020 #63

It looks like she is jockeying to be VP. Vivienne235729 Feb 2020 #64
