It’s a 2 person race between Warren and Sanders
The Democratic Party has moved on even if Joe Biden hasn’t gotten the cable. Warren and Sanders are the candidates with ideas that will rally the base. It is really between those two. That Harris and Beto are polling at zero on DL’s very scientific sidebar poll speaks volumes.
“We can’t choose a candidate we don’t believe in just because we’re too scared to do anything else,” she said. “And Democrats can’t win if we’re scared and looking backward.”
the Bernie bots are now officially knives out for Warren. saw many on twitter alleging the Working Families endorsement was rigged against the voting members and if it was “fair” bernie would have won.
No doubt the “wealthy warren” memes will be back, as well as MAGA-vetted attacks on her character.
I dont blame Sanders for this… No more than I blame Justin Roiland or Dan Harmond for Rick&Morty fans. He’s simply not cut out to run a winning campaign.
Do you know any details about the WFP endorsement? Do you know what the issues are? Or is your analysis based on Tweets and catch phrases?
@ben: I see comments from a lot more Biden dead-enders than Sanders fans.
that’s fascinating. I cant say i know anyone who is even excited about Biden, much lest a biden or buster. Most of his support, from what i have personally seen, are people afraid he’s the only one who can win…. until they see Warren actually speaking. The guy doesnt inspire anything other than nostalgia for all the parts of Obama i didnt like.
I think she wins Iowa, Biden 2, Sanders 3 ( i know she isnt leading there today, but the trend looks similar to 08 and Biden is FOR SURE this year’s Clinton 08)
Sanders wins NH, Warren 2, Biden 3
SC.. Biden wins (maybe) Warren 2 sanders 3.
Who wants an old gas bag like Sanders?
Me and many like me… And also different from me! Stay wholesome.
Way to lead by example.
I’m a giver
I am a Warren guy, but I do find it interesting that in your poll, Biden does get more votes than Sanders. I think it is a race between Biden and Warren, and if the Sanderistas can get over themselves and support Warren, she will win in a cake walk.
Also intrigued by the Buttigieg boomlet in your poll. Makes you wonder if he is the understudy for Biden should Biden drop out.
Re: Biden. It’s Delaware, his fluffers are legion here.
Re: Mayor Pete. He is popular among the moderates I know, who are mostly male.
Yeah. I just dscount Biden votes to zero at this point. THANKS TO BERNIE, Biden doesn’t have the big insiders edge that gave Clinton the nomination. If Warren and Sanders supporters get together under one banner, its a done deal.
Mayor Pete can very well be moderate in the ticket in the VP spot. (Funny to think a gay guy is going to pick up the moderates.).
Give me either Booker or Abrams on that ticket.
Abrams. Strong choice.
Yeah Booker and his undying love for some Charter schools. Screw the average child of a taxpaying family if there’s no room at the inn for his “kind” in that successfully performing charter. Booker’s debate statements were (to paraphrase) close the poor performing charters but additionally fund those successful (white and rich) charters. Yeah reward their performance Booker. Screw Booker. Make him Sec. of Ed so he can continue the Devos legacy of destroying public education and any hope the poor and minority kids mistakenly felt they were entitled to.
Rep. Kowalko
As you can see by the pattern in the avatar, that’s not actually me. Ban this clown, please.
Buttigieg is 4th in the latest poll I saw last night. He might already be taking votes from the old man.
Naked Capitalism has this –
UPDATE Buttigieg (D)(1): “Secret Tapes Reportedly Suggest Pete Buttigieg Fired South Bend’s Black Police Chief Due To Donor Pressure” [Inquisitr]. This comes from a TYT story, which is so convoluted I couldn’t figure out how to quote from it. “[L]egal documents that suggest Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg fired South Bend’s first black police chief, Darryl Boykins, due to a plan by white police officers to pressure him via his campaign donors. In particular, the documents detail secret phone recordings of South Bend police phone lines in which officers describe their plan to use two of Buttigieg’s donors, Sam Hensley and Steve Luecke — who deny having any such discussions with the Mayor — to oust Boykins from the South Bend Police Department (SBPD). ‘It is going to be a fun time when all white people are in charge,” one officer is quoted as saying in the documents. Although the plan was concocted without Buttigieg’s knowledge — they reportedly called him a ‘little f*cking squirt’ on the recordings — the report claims he learned of the secret SBPD police recordings in January of 2012. Buttigieg asked Boykins to resign two months later but eventually rescinding the resignation due to outage from the black community and demoted Boykins instead.” • Say what you like about Booker, he seems to have handled Newark better than Buttigieg has handled South Bend. And if Buttigieg isn’t seasoned enough to handle the SBPD, what happens when he encounters The Blob?
