Warren's campaign is doing a death rattle but at least she's got enough of a public presence that her 'gently caress it, knives out' phase will probably have some impact. Unlike when Beto did it.

There are two “Democrats” who I simply can’t vote for- Mike Bloomberg and Tulsi Gabbard, and only one of them stands a chance of getting anywhere near the White House.

I will be deep in the cold, hard ground before I ever vote for Bloomberg. gently caress that authoritarian, racist billionaire megalomaniac running as a Democrat.

It's not looking good. She's pulling funding from SC and NV by canceling media buys. Establishment money is going to Pete, progressive money is going to Bernie. I have a feeling that it'll be a two candidate race very shortly.

I legitimately think he'd be worse than Trump. All the authoritarianism, racism and business corruption friendliness of Trump, but done by someone who is a much harder worker, smarter, and with vastly more resources and media power.

Bloomberg would get kids in cages off the television, but only because he has the power to prevent things from getting on television.

Bernie's VP will most likely be a moderate, to help bridge the divide between himself and the establishment. If Warren is to have a role in his administration, my guess would be something like Secretary of Labor or Secretary of Commerce.

As it stands though, throwing herself into torpedoing Bloomberg might be the only way she can salvage her campaign. She's refrained from attacking the other Democratic candidates thus far, but Bloomberg is someone she can sink her teeth into without upsetting either the progressive left or the Democratic establishment, and he's a very effective punching bag for her anti-corruption and money in politics platform. By attacking him, she may be able to get airtime and donations as well, which she's been deprived of the past month or two.

I hope she does throw herself into taking him down, and I hope she can do it. As much as the left likes to infight over which candidate is the purest and which minor slights are actually traitorous stabs in the back, Bloomberg is loving scary and while he wouldn't be as bad as Trump in a lot of ways, we'd effectively be giving ourselves over to a smarter racist billionaire authoritarian, and that is absolutely unacceptable.

Obama v Hillary got pretty testy and HRC ended up SecState. No reason to think that Bernie wouldn't try to bring in someone like Warren later on.

George Bush was the person who popularized the term voodoo economics in the primary against Regan. And he still got the VP nod. I'm sure every candidate has a line they won't tolerate someone crossing but that line is much further back for most politicians.

This actually gives me hope in the hosed up, weird rear end way it can only exist in a post-escalator world. If his paranoia takes the driver's seat compared to all the other personality flaws hopefully he tears out the GOP's guts with internecine warfare and endless purity testing.

Shame about the damage it will do to everything else but at this point that cake is already baked.

Warren would do great in a goverment position on a Bernie lead government. She would be a hilariously incompetent president though, but i am mostly basing this on how she is currently running her campaign and not on her voting record.

She'd be a killer Secretary of Treasury even if she is fighting hard to torpedo Bernie right now.

Obama making Hillary Secretary of State was terrible though. Hey remember when you beat her in a primary based on how bad her foreign policy judgement was?

AOC should stay in Congress for now imo. Warren at treasury would mean we might get Sen Presley, which I am very down for. Also I don't think Warren actually likes politics that much so I bet she'd be happier at treasury too.

For real, I get that people prefer Sanders to Warren and that's fine but if you think she's actively torpedoing his campaign, if and when Sanders gets the nom, the general election is gonna make your head explode when the GOP drops the "poor Bernie" act. Ditto for dumbshit Dems that are hardline Biden or Mayo supporters.

From what I know, they are making ST a make or break point. Even if she shows poorly in NV and SC, I would expect she's gonna hang in till ST before calling it quits. Funding wise, they've still pulled in a decent amount post Iowa and seem to be keeping some of that powder dry for ST.

Yeah as much as I'd love to see a joint ticket, I'm hopeful if the Dems win, they don't do what Obama did when he won in '08 and kneecap the senate with Cabinet appointments. MA has a R Governor so that will go just as you'd expect. Though Presley as a senator would rule.

Bernie picking a moderate VP would be a terrible idea considering the non-zero chance that he could die in office, and it could potentially embolden moderate Dem congressmen to bilaterally impeach and remove him for whatever bullshit the Republicans cook up.
