(10,885 posts)Sanders and Warren are more feisty and combative than a calmer demeanor of Biden

(6,231 posts)being calmer is what many of us are looking for. Remember Obama?

(31,261 posts)I think Warren is calmer and more surgical in her combativeness. I think that Joe Biden initially standing like a deer in headlight when Trump first attacked him and his son hurt Biden, though I think Joe is swinging hard back at Trump now.

(15,372 posts)that Elizabeth was born and raised in OK and attended university in TX before becoming the Harvard professor that she was until she ran for the Senate.
She remembers those early days well and they have made her what she is today.
She is hardly the typical NE candidate.

(39,377 posts)In the last week alone she weaponized the attack on the facts of her dismissal from her first job to create increased awareness of pregnancy discrimination not just in the past but in the here and now. And her fake ad on Facebook raised awareness about Trumps ability to lie with Zuckerbergs support. She has also quickly repackaged Wall St.s handwringing about her to positive effect.
No more waiting to see what Trump or any opponent has to say on Twitter. Beat them to the punch and when they attack hit back hard and fast. I have no doubt that this aspect of her candidacy is part of that number.

(10,174 posts)Warren got through the DNA fiasco much better than I thought she would; I suspect she would stand up to Trump pretty well.
Sanders is so thin skinned and reactive he'd melt down if Trump's tornado of bullshit came his way.

(31,261 posts)What do you think the Wall Street whisper campaign and the attempt to paint her as a liar in regards to what happened with her teaching job came from? Senator Warren and her team skillfully turned the attacks into weapons for Senator Warren. Trump is not calling Senator Warren Pochahontas regularly because he sees that it impresses only his drooling base. Senator Warren's campaign has been quick-footed, quick-reacting and quick to anticipate and adapt new tactics, I don't see that from any other campaign, including Trump's.

(15,751 posts)A candidate who can rebut trump point for point?
A candidate who goes for raw meat base votes?
A candidate who answers in a way that centrist voters will lean against trump?

(31,261 posts)I believe that two is automatic and we just need to focus on getting those people out to vote. One counteracts lies, that is important, don't let lies take root. Three brings in the voters that we need to go over the top and win.

(8,745 posts)Rather than getting down in the mud.
Saying his corruption is worse than ours is not very inspiring. The whole system is rigged for the moneyed elite and their army of lobbyists. We have to make it work for the average person again, which it really hasn't since Reagan. And it hasn't gotten progressively worse and worse with the years.
We need big, structural change. Not band-aids and baby steps.
