If I'm Joe Biden I let Pete beat up Bernie and Elizabeth beat up Mike and play the elder statesman.

1. That sounds like a plan

though he still has to show some fight, so voters believe he can take on the bully in the White House.

2. And to be honest, I think Joe is getting far better advice right now than

my candidate.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. Are you referring to my advice?

[Mike 03]

5. I mean, Joe Biden is receiving better advice from you

than Warren is from her advisors, IMO. (The last two weeks, at least). I mean, if you are Joe, Liz will probably keep doing what you want her to do and keep beating up Mike, which I think is dumb.

Will you please give her some advice next?

6. Elizabeth is working on the assumption beating up Mike ingratiates her with the Bernie crowd.

[Mike 03]

8. Oh. That's fascinating...

Thanks for the insight.

Would you tell her to keep doing that, or advise her to attack someone else, if you were her advisor?

9. The problem attacking Bernie at this point is they already tipped their hands and will look craven.

But they have no alternative after the hole they dug themselves.

4. The MSNBC panel the other day was saying she

Has some of the best but also most expensive consultants in the business. They concurred she isn’t getting her money’s worth and based on the results I tend to agree.

[Mike 03]

7. Thanks for sharing that.

I thought I was probably in the minority who weren't impressed by her attacks on Bloomberg. She showed she was tough, sort of. But strategically, it made no sense and it almost made her look like a bully IMO.
