Rick Wilson sums it up well about Warren




She's either being badly advised, or she's being too cute for her own good. Elizabeth Warren jumped on Bernie's declaration of M4A, not to be left behind, and now she's doing it again.

If Warren becomes President, she inherits the mess that Trump is making. Not being crystal clear about where she stands (like Biden did) does not help matters.

I know that she would prefer to have no wars and just be able to focus on domestic issues, but I doubt that Trump will allow that. If Trump believes it would get him re-elected, he will happily set the world afire.

She might have taken a beating for it but it’s something Sanders has proven he doesn’t have the courage to do.

Highly questionable the way some describe Warren backing M4A.

“ Elizabeth Warren jumped on Bernie's declaration of M4A, not to be left behind, and now she's doing it again.”

Also, is the left and the Dem establishment really far apart on the issue of trump's erraticness? Um, no! I'll admit, the obligatory "Soleimani was a bad, bad man" disclaimer is slightly annoying to my ears, since it's not the point. trump has once again stepped in shit without any sort of thought or planning.

Warren has always tried to appeal to Bernie supporters while coming off as a more establishment acceptable candidate, and she pulled it off for about 6 weeks. However, instead of being the Baby Sear option, she's just made both sides upset enough with her that she's lost the most of her support along the way.

I never really saw the appeal that so many did during the late summer and early fall. Once media scrutiny turned on her, she couldn't stand up to it.

That same scrutiny hasn't come onto Bernie in full yet. I expect the same to happen when it does.
