He's gonna portray Warren as an out of touch Harvard egghead who cheated her way to where she is by way of Affirmative Action and the chuds are gonna eat it up. Meanwhile Warren's support base mainly consists of people who would have voted Dem anyway and are concentrated in places where Dems are going to win anyway. The only matchup that would be better for Trump would be Biden on account of Gropey Joe's brain being such mush that it's basically leaking out of his ears at this point.

No, but he overperformed dramatically in a lot of states, and won in several where the polls showed Clinton with an insurmountable lead. Polls also dramatically underestimated younger voters in 2007-2008. Clinton had a 20-something point national lead over Obama at this point in the race. So your assumption that young people aren't going to turn out is kind of unfounded - particularly when they defied the assumption that young people don't turn out for midterms less than a year ago.

I think Warren is running a serious campaign and probably has surged from getting all the fading Harris votes, but I also don't think anything is permanent. Weren't something like 75% of Iowa Democrats still undecided?

Something like that, yeah. Plus these primary narratives are always cyclical. Warren's been extremely lucky so far, in that she hasn't had too many bad media cycles, beyond her completely self-inflicted DNA cockup. But even if the corporate media wants her to be the nominee, Warren will have her share of bad days, particularly as she gets more under the microscope. It happened with Harris, it happened with Buttigieg, and it will happen with Liz as well. Hopefully it will happen sooner rather than later.

Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.



Given that >45 makes up the significant majority of that poll, the biggest takeaway I can see is that Biden is bleeding too much olds support to Warren to maintain a viable campaign. Old people (and black people) are his base. Warren's support is relatively flat across the spectrum, but if Biden wants to win he needs a significant lead among the oldest (ie most conservative) primary voters. Warren leading NH in an old-heavy poll is the gong sounding for him.

The hope for Bernie is that as the rest of Biden's vote collapses, they flock to him rather than Warren, as in Biden's current voters Just Don't Like Her For Some Reason and aren't particularly ideological along policy issues. At this point its silly to hold the belief that, as the race stand, he's got a silent majority waiting in the wings to lift him to a double digit victory and that all polling is 20+ points biased/flawed. He needs to actually do something other than Being 2016 Bernie, because this isn't the 2016 field and the converts aren't coming yet.

Now I'm not paid six figures to be wrong about everything like most political pundits, but the way I see it, your faith in the polls at this point kind of relies on whether or not you believe they're consistently undervaluing the new people Sanders is going to bring into the race. All I know is there's something incongruous about a man who has gotten 1mil individual donations faster than any presidential candidate in history versus what the polls are saying, and both might be true, but if there's anything the post-2016 world has taught me it's that the predictive value of "experts" on cable news counts for very, very little. I do think Warren is a serious candidate, certainly not a total joke like Beto or Harris, but she hasn't really been scrutinized yet.

The more Warren speaks the more cognitive dissonance her supporters get when the progressive brand smashes into the right-wing reality

Biden is in no real danger. The only real route to being on a ticket for Warren is to have a contested convention and join a ticket with Biden.

i suppose the warren supporters know her and her history well, so I have a question for you all: what positive examples of racial and social justice can warren point to in her history? we all know she was part of an explicitly and extremely racist party until the 90s, and she left that party because of differences in economic policy, but the warren supporters in the thread have something they can point to that shows she's actually become better on that front right? I ask cause it just came up recently that warren was telling people that transgender inmates getting critical sex change treatments was a waste of taxpayer money when she was running as a democrat, which really loving pisses me off.

I hope the warren supporters in thread are supporting her based on her history and not just because of "plans"
