I really want Warren to get it. Obviously for her strong progressive platform, but I do believe that Trump's tactics won't be as effective on Warren as they were with Clinton. People on both sides of the aisle wanted her to be "taken down a peg" and folks silently reveled in his childish cheap shots at the debates. With Warren, he's just going to look like a bully and it'll definitely be more off putting to the undecided. With that, I also believe they might be more receptive to what she has to say.

Wishful thinking I admit, but all I have is hope at this point. The answer to Trump isn't to match his bravado and talk loud while saying nothing. Elizabeth Warren's sincerity will pierce through the fog of apathy, I want to believe.

I think he has a better chance in the general and is leading her in a lot of states.

Warren should drop out and let Bernie take over creepy Joe B.
Nah, Sanders is the poster boy for socialism, shit ain't flying in the us of a.
Warren is like a sleeper candidate that holds basically 80 percent of Bernie's promises but with like none of his negativity.

I'm surprised this poll shows Bernie so much lower than Warren. They've been basically neck and neck.

I like Warren a lot and would happily vote for her, but I think she has the worst chance to beat Trump between her, Bernie and Biden.

I am so glad I have egg on my face after saying Warren was done after her DNA test. I thought that was the end.

never underestimate how little the general public gives a shit, especially these days

trump did so many things that would have completely obliterated his chances 30 years ago

Not feeling people calling for Biden + tickets. Biden needs to drop out but I don't think he will. I'd personally love Bernie but I would also be fine with Warren. As much as I'd love it to be Bernie, I just don't think it's going to happen. Still a lot of time left and a lot of shuffling to happen

A lot of his support goes to Biden. Same w/ Warren in that there's no guarantee that it goes to Bernie. I mean probably Harris dropping out would be more beneficial to warren
There is no Earthly way more Sanders support goes to Biden than it does to Warren.

The only VP pick from the current field that makes sense for Warren is Pete, since he picks up the slack she has of being old and a woman.

Beto is taking his momentum from a Presidential campaign to a senate run.

None of his negativity?

I think lots of Americans don't see much of Warren past her DNA test/native American stuff, which has made her kind of a joke to a lot of people, whether it's with merit or not.

I don't think she would perform that well in debates against Trump.

It's September 2019 not October 2018. Even Trump admits that DNA stuff isn't working right now.

His Pocahontas jokes won't go over the way he thinks they will
Not only will they not work, I kind of feel like they'll be a lightning rod. Trump can't help himself. He'll go to that well every fucking time. And unlike emails it just doesn't sound like a real scandal and will get old real fast comparatively. Every minute he spends on Pocahontas is a minute he's not making a real attack.

Yeah I'm skeptical of the Pocahontas thing working for an entire campaign, and I don't think Warren would give him much new material to work with.

It's still wayyyyyyyyyy too far out from the actual voting but this kind of stuff is fun especially to see the sheepish backing away from Kamala from people who treated her as the next savior.

Will be entertaining to watch trendlines develop over the winter.

So where are the Harris supporters shifting to? I feel like she's somewhat more moderate compared to Bernie/Warren so they'll go to Biden.

I also wonder if Warren adopting policies for climate have get a boost.

Elizabeth Warren is not Hillary Clinton.
Joe Biden is not Hillary Clinton.

Saying "x is just repeating the mistake of nominating Hillary" is dumb as fuck and fundamentally misunderstand what happened in 2016.

I have a hard seeing an electorate which rejected Hillary embrace Warren.
Hillary didn't campaign hard enough where she needed to and didn't sell a convincing message to those in key states. It was an incredibly close election but Trump got the best of her where it mattered, so hopefully whoever the nominee is will avoid making those mistakes.

Warren will lose primaries narrowly due to lack of Black support and pulled back by Bernie's refusal to drop out. Biden will choose a middle of the road Vice President. Enthusiasm will be shit again as media goes in circles around Biden. Repeat 2016, Trump wins electoral college.

Michigan will flip back to Democrats. Ohio, Wisconsin, Florida, Pennsylvania will stick to Trump.

None of this is even remotely supported by any data whatsoever.

Y'all really think Trump is going to do debates? Because I don't. Maybe one, on Fox News, where he picks the hosts and the questions. Otherwise he'll just do more "veteran fundraisers" to rip off.

You can't compare the concentrated efforts over decades to minimize and destroy Hillary Clinton to attacks on any other contemporary politician with any seriousness imo.

Right, sure. It just took one smear to disarm John Kerry, though. I hope Warren will be able to escape her smear.

I agree that enthusiasm around Biden would be low, but I disagree about Warren losing primary.
She's got this

My guess is if it's Warren or Sanders he'd do one, get absolutely destroyed, and refuse to do the others.

If it's Biden it'll be a complete shitshow and who the fuck knows.
