With One Line, Elizabeth Warren Effectively Ends What Was Left of John Delaney's Campaign

[silentEcho]

In one line during Tuesday's CNN Democratic primary debate, Sen. Elizabeth Warren made a distinction between her vision of the Democratic Party and that of her more conservative opponents.

Replying to former John Delaney, a former congressman from Maryland polling at around one percent who has made opposing left-leaning policy ideas the centerpiece of his quixotic run for the nomination, Warren wondered aloud what use it was trying to lead the American people without a vision.

"You know, I don't understand why anybody goes to all the trouble of running for president of the United States just to talk about what we really can't do and shouldn't fight for," said the Massachusetts Democrat.

"We need to have the courage to fight back against them," said Warren. "Until we're ready to do that, it's just more of the same."

"Well, I'm ready to get in this fight," said Warren. "I'm ready to win this fight."

This is why Warren is top on my list. I think she is the best qualified to fight back.

1. Yeah, she got Delaney. But I don't like that Economic Patriotism, America First, junk she's

pushing. We have too much of that right now.

[BootinUp]

3. Her message isn't much different than BS except

She has a lot more details. The anger undertone sucks on her the same as Bernie.

2. Please? Pretty please???? Dump Delaney ASAP!!!! nt

6. What a great sentiment. Similar to what Bernie said but said gracefully.

I hope she is on the ticket.

7. I won't miss him.

8. his campaign never really got started

in terms of getting support.

he is wealthy so he can stay in and keep campaigning wherever he wants . but he never had any support .

9. That was a great moment

My entire living room of people stood up and applauded

11. Nobody wants to be in the ring with her...

I'm coming to believe her message is the one that the party needs to get behind. We need to kick the rest of the R-lites to the curb and get on with the house cleaning.

13. I think if Warren gets on stage with Biden, she will destroy him

and I don’t know if it’s good or bad. At this point I do believe that protecting and expanding ACA should be the highest priority. However, MFA is a good long term goal; it is obvious if Warren becomes president, MFA won’t pass the senate anytime soon so it’s not even a measure I use to evaluate candidates. Presidents are not legislators. Speaking from global perspective, it is radical to have private insurance companies in charge of your basic health care coverage.
At least I can clearly see Warren, BS and Pete’s vision for America (Pete is by far the most articulate) but I can’t see Biden’s vision. Obama had radical vision for America in 2008 campaign.

14. And she was waiting all night to drop that line...

Soundbites-R-Us.

[Skittles]

15. I agree, the rehearsed one-liners are becoming very prevalent

[Merlot]

16. I felt like it was the most sincere moment of the debate

She was actually fed up and irritated with him.

17. Elizabeth Warren has been my favorite since she landed on the scene many years ago --

before she ran for the Senate.

She is wicked smart, and she makes the truth plain enough for anyone to understand.

[silentEcho]

18. I love her wicked smart. And integrity. And strength in speaking up.

[Scotch-Irish]

19. Me, too!

She understands finance and financial matters better than anyone of any party I've ever seen or heard. She can hear something and just do the math in her head about how it would turn out.

Just. Plain. Brilliant.

And good.

20. Harris/Warren, Warren/Harris which I prefer. Harris has the judicial and Warren the financial world

[Scotch-Irish]

21. I'd love to see Warren/Sanders. Talk about a force of nature...

Those two would turn this country around by taking the message to the people. That would be my dream ticket.

[silentEcho]

22. Nope. Never. I will run from Sanders ever being rewarded for his Independent, five decade attacks

on Democrats. Nope.

[rusty fender]

23. Delaney is a pimple on the face

of the Democratic Party, and Warren popped him, bigtime
