are more concerned about their health care.

aligned against them. These false narratives will not break up the Bernie/Elizabeth team... rather, they are going to backfire BIG TIME!!


Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join the revolution!!

That just plays into Trump's hands. Yes we can have a spirited contest for the nomination, but we need to keep our eyes on the ultimate goal.

and recommended you know the trolls are getting nervous. Good job by Liz in clearing this up. Now they can get on to the next.

And that troll is no longer with us

One was from the author, the banned troll, I saw it before they were Nuked.

Two recs isn't even note worthy here. Is it?

Never fret, that troll will be banned again and again!

Now gone, but they'll be back. Divide and conquer. Which sadly appears to resonate with some.

Also, for the record the OP had 3 rec's and one was from the author.

Facts matter.

not from the author of the OP.

Peacemakers.

And 30 years ago he told a little girl she could be president some day.

Nobody else was in the room. The story was first reported by CNN who got their information from 4 sources who "had knowledge of the conversation". The only people who would have knowledge of the conversation are those in Bernie's and Elizabeth's camps. There's no way Bernie's people leak this when he's rising in the polls and trying to focus his campaign on winning Iowa, which, by the way, is in 3 weeks. Warren's campaign has been lagging in the polls and in fundraising. It's likely if she doesn't do well in Iowa and New Hampshire that she'll be out of the race. Her best bet at gaining support is through the progressive wing of the party, and it's not far-fetched that some people high up in her campaign thought attacking Bernie could be a way back into the race and that the timing (1 day before the debate, 3 weeks before the caucus) would be perfect. Everything points to this being a leak by the Warren campaign.

Is the Sanders campaign trying to end this?

He did some damage for sure to his campaign.

In what world does this look poorly for Sanders?

the conversation and even Warren’s staff is saying the same now. Bernie doesn’t need to deescalate because he didn’t fundraise over this. Didn’t send his surrogates out to bad mouth Warren and simply responded to any question about this that it was not an accurate reporting of what he said. He has nothing to deescalate from.

The the anti Sanders blinders really affect reasoning.

volunteer who put out the script about Warren being elitist but the campaign who used it over the weekend for canvassing door to door...sorry I find it difficult to believe Sanders was unaware of this. Not a good look for him.

Thanks for the thread Nanjeanne.

That is, most particularly, proposed policy in present time. I certainly appreciate both Warren and Sanders.

Because she refused to shake his hand tonight. Actions speak louder than words.

She thinks he called her a liar on national TV? Would you shake?

I’m in her camp on this one.

Let's please move on.

Perhaps it's time for Bernie to do the same thing and tell his supporters to calm down.

We'll see.

She backs down from conflict too easily. She comes off as weak when she doesn’t go for the jugular.

She’s smart but I’ve seen her not quite sure how to handle situations when people go after her too many times in the political world you can’t be perceived as unwilling to handle conflict either whether we like it or not.

On that note. I hope this blows up in sanders face.

Or how she fought Biden on stuff like the Bankruptcy bill.

If we want to trace back why Progressives liked Warren (and ha da less favorable view of Biden) that would be a good start.

This didn't' show that. This was her making a charge that didn't' make sense given the record of who it was directed at. It was mud throwing and then pretending to be above it. Which made it look like a betrayal not just of Sanders but her own principals. OF course she would back off.

It was especially silly given that she has real issues with Biden. She has shown she can fight him on the issues.

On that Note, No, given 30 years of public statements and that he wanted Warren to run in 2016, this is unlikely to blow up in his face. All it did is let CNN look like idiots.

If this is how they would handle disagreements with other countries, . . . . . .

This fight won't help her at all. It certainly hurts her with progressives.

From what I hear, a lot fo Warren's people did not all agree with doing this. So yah I can see her wanting to get past it as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, I don't' see the media letting her do that.
