Warren's proven she can get that through pure grit and tenacity, it'll be difficult but it should be within reach now.
I mean, grit and tenacity aren't a substitute for actual numbers, but hey, still a long way to go

It's been looking like she possibly had this in the bag based off crosstabs for a while (2-3 months ish) now, it just took time for the headlining numbers to catch up to what we were seeing under the hood.Doesn't this suggest Warren pretty much has the nomination locked up, barring any unforeseen circumstances?
Hillary won the popular vote and her important electoral losses came down to over 30k votes.As much as I like Warren, I can't help but think that the fact that this country is just as sexist as it is racist is going to hurt her.
And from a super blue district (leaving seats vacant is irrelevant for Beto and Castro but for people who've been thrown about as names in previous years it's an obstacle, like Sherrod Brown).Here's my dark horse (as in, not currently a candidate for president) pick for Warren's VP:

He balances Warren in just about every way:
- Hispanic
- Male
- Young
- Veteran
- Hails from Arizona which is practically guaranteed to be a 2020 swing state (and also features a crucial Senate contest)
Also a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and has a solidly liberal voting record.
Unless he has some major skeletons in his closet, I think he'd be great.
Updated just now. Warren leading Biden by 2 points.How often do they update their tracker? Because she's already back to being behind Biden by a lot (6%) in the RCP average.
