A big weakness for Sanders

Link to tweet

A big weakness for Sanders is that he’s only polling at 9% among 2016 Clinton primary voters, who make up about half of Democrats

The Economist’s polling with YouGov finds that on the eve of the Iowa Caucus, Sanders is only winning 41% of the voters who cast ballots for him in the 2016 primary nationally

also to a greater extent Harris, but that is another story. I think Warren should have never talked about M4A, that was Bernie's issue. She should have talked about how common people get ripped off by the economic system every day in small ways. Enough small ways become a big way.

She embraced it and that was a big mistake, she paid for that. She should have simply embraced the notion that healthcare costs are hurting Americans and the economy.

Senator Sanders can make being vague work, that seems to be part of his strategy. Senator Warren can't, so her embracing a poorly conceived plan like MFA was a major unforced error by her.
