The fact that he's literally not getting ANY Hillary support from 2016 is just so...idk the right word. It's not surprising, but it's shocking. You'd think there would be some. And that retention from 2016 among those who did vote for him.....and, again, more people are considering AMY than him. Amy. The lady who would probably be able to pile drive me into a table. (And I might be into it, don't judge).
I've still never seen Mean Girls.
Like, it's that gif of Shocked not that shocked? Basically that.Expected given his complete lack of changing a thing and doubling down on all the things people didn't like about him? :-P
Definition of insanity, etc. etc.
I don't think I've seen any data that suggests impeachment is moving the needle for anyone
Why in the world would you want those trash people? Like, real talk, if a person supports Tulsi or Yang I side eye the hell out of them.
Maybe this is why she thinks a debt moratorium should be universal! Free MBAs and JDs for everyone!Ok I have to dunk on this.

Attracting GOP crossover support in a Dem primary, same w Tulsi.Yang has been pretty consistently out-polling sitting Governors and Senators. I don't want the dude anywhere near the White House but he's clearly doing something right?
I'm giving her two months.Men are the worst.
They should be seen and not heard.
Also, can we all agree then that Harris is done?
Fifth in Iowa polling.
Fifth in NH polling.
At this point Nancy Pelosi is nothing more then an Accomplice to Trump. Every time she opens her mouth she undermines Congress and those that are seeking to hold the President Accountable. She would rather have a fundraiser boogie man then even come close to doing the right thing. She deliberately conflates starting the Impeachment process with the end vote. All she continues to do is give trump attorneys and the DOJ ammunition to use in the various court cases to oppose information subpoenas etc.
Thank you.
Neither seen nor heard you say?Men are the worst.

Looking at the crosstabs a bit, only 41% of caucus goers think M4A as a sole government program should be the thing we run on, only 36% think free college should be a thing we run on, only 20% think we should run on socialism (with 37% saying it's both bad policy and makes them not comfortable) and only 28% want to run to the left.
This might be why Bernie is having some issues. Warren supports a lot of the same things, but talks about them in an entirely different way.

She'll keep talking about the same things the way she has, I expect. But, she's smart enough to realize when an issue is a loser you don't keep hammering on it. It's good political sense, and I appreciate it from her. Like taxing the wealthy and the assault weapons ban are popular across the board. Doing something about healthcare is popular across the board. But she's shown she's not so ideologically fixated on a specific policy proposal at the expense of actually achieving something. To me, that makes a good candidate and a good nominee.And this is the key for me: Is she going to be able to keep this going through a general election without people getting wise to it? Or is she going to move a bit closer to the center?
I don't disagree, but I'm starting to think that oppo on her is running fairly dry since we've seen basically nothing out of anyone other than "she used to be a republican." But hey, I could be wrong and she's the most horrendously corrupt politician this side of Trump. Not that that's likely, but I mean technically possible. Even Trump hasn't had anything for her on Twitter.Warren is still benefiting from being handled with kids gloves.

I just don;t know how much there there is to hit her with tbh. The "she was a Republican!" thing is dumb and literally no one cares. The DNA thing is long gone, and not really something you can weaponize in a primary. The way she talks about policy is totally different from the way Bernie does. (It's the preaching vs teaching thing.) She gets off the hook with some of her tax answers cause she's nimble enough to walk herself out of the bear trap. She's new enough on the national stage that her political record is basically all formed from 2012 onward, where most dem supporters had already moved pretty far to the left. Biden has a treasure trove of horrible things. Harris has things you can squint and spin negatively. Tulsi is a train wreck. Pete can't talk about minority issues to save his life. On paper, Warren is just a really good candidate. IDk what it would take to really damage her favorables yet.So far, Warren's gotten away with not talking about it at all really. She speaks on M4A in aspirational terms on what it will be. But she's yet to answer the tax question or put out a (real) plan of her own to be scrutinized. Now that Buttigieg has done so, she's officially the only top tier candidate who hasn't.

Warren is regularly asked about whether she'll need to raise taxes. And deftly deflects to costs so that no one gets that soundbite.So far, Warren's gotten away with not talking about it at all really. She speaks on M4A in aspirational terms on what it will be.

I actually want her to get hit too, because I want to see how she handles it. So I'm with you there. I just think she's a good enough politician to wiggle her way out of it without sounding like a politician. The way she talks about M4A is more an end goal, and she's given herself enough space to really put forth a lot of different plans and saying that's what she's always been for. So I don't disagree with you, but I just think (from what I've seen so far) she can navigate it well enough.You don't need to attack Warren by bringing up some past misdeed. You isolate her trickery on the Healthcare question and call it out.
Biden got the closest to doing this. And him hammering Warren on not admitting that her plan would raise taxes (coupled with her dodging the question) was one of the strongest moments he had in the last debate, and simultaneously one of her weakest. Become it's become painfully clear that she's dodging on this issue. It's not so much her savvy in dodging the question as it is nobody really wanting to take the hit and attack her on this. If I'm on a campaign, and I'm not concerned about taking a hit for attacking a favored candidate, I'd advise my candidate to call that out and go in for the kill. It might not work, but pointing out the ways in which your competitor is "playing politics" is traditionally a good way to pull a candidate out of the "darling" bubble so that you can actually engage them.
But hey, now I AM writing fanfiction. I just really want to see her get roughed up one good time before the general to see how she adapts.
