It's quite interesting how a majority of Warren's supporters don't actually come from the Sanders 2016 vote but rather the Hillary 2016 vote, which goes a bit against her image.
There were plenty of progressive Hillary 2016 voters. She built up many years of goodwill and Bernie was just unlikable and showed animus to the party he was running to be the leader of.

I've never understood this line of reasoning. The Republicans (as well as most modern political parties) figured out a while back that ideological coherence is a better to galvanize folks to win elections for you. A party's first job should be to determine the best candidates for the job, in spite of whatever the "party" feels.
The Democratic Party is home to groups that have been historically disenfranchised in America. They want consistency, security, and a track record of getting things done. The Republican Party is full of reactionary white grievance voters who want to burn the system down. Elizabeth Warren strikes the balance of being a revolutionary with being a party stalwart very well. It may not be enough to take down Biden but she will give him a run for his money down the stretch.

Moreover, party rule changes have simply made it easier for a liberal insurgent to win. The only thing preventing Warren from very clearly having a shot at Biden is the fragmented field. As people drop out, though, she will likely become that insurgent candidate and unless Biden can find a way to pick off a fraction of the liberal base it just seems particularly tough to stop her monentum.

This assumes more than half of the electorate wants a liberal insurgent.  Polling would seem to indicate the opposite.  I did the math and if all the other major candidates dropped out and you add up the second-choice votes for Biden and Warren, you end up with Biden 42% Warren 23%.  Of course this ignored e.g. Buttigieg supporters who have Harris as their second choice and Biden as their third choice.  But you get the picture, Warren has tons of ground to make up and the "non-Biden" vote is still just as fond of Biden as it is of Warren.

I'm SO HAPPY Elizabeth is attending the Native American Forum. I was nervous her team wasn't going to make it happen: https://newsmaven.io/indiancountrytoday/news/senators-warren-and-klobuchar-join-native-american-presidential-forum-0IX3zMW8Ik-hp3G-ciAscQ/

Trump is starting to focus on lumping Elizabeth with Bernie and the socialist label. I'm wondering if that's because he's noticing that the Pocahontas label is going nowhere with the media. How do you guys think this will play out?

The fact that she has Deb Halland's endorsement really gives Elizabeth a lot of credibility on Native issues, although it's still a controversial endorsement among some Native communities and activists. She also has a tight relationship with Jefferson Keel, the President of the National Congress of American Indians. I'll bet tribal leaders will start to endorse Warren in the coming months.

Do you think having those endorsements will help counteract GOP and Trump talking points on her DNA test and heritage claims?

The Republicans and Trump are not the problem.  It's the DNC.  They want her to win just as much as they want Bernie Sanders.  I wonder if Democrats have ever imagined the possibility that DNC officials and other Democrat candidates have intentionally and anonymously release stories for Fox News to champion against certain Democrats.  A lot of extremely convenient attacks have been leveled against Democrat candidates, and there's no doubt in my mind that they are strategically leveled against Democrats as if ordered by other Democrat candidates.  Just putting it out there.  Then you have the attacks against Biden for being touchy.  CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News seemed to have just as many guests defending or downplaying incident as they had criticizing Biden.  

All I'm saying is that you Warren and Sanders supporters need to watch those pr##ks just as scrupulously as you watch Trump.  To not do so is like sheep going to a barbershop owned and operated by wolves.

This is crazy talk. Democratic party officials like Warren 1000 times more than Bernie.  Warren is an actual Democrat and doesn't turn loyalty to the party into a wedge issue for the base or make up stupid conspiracy theories for personal political gain.

Oh, yeah, well I agree that most of the party establishment sees Warren and Bernie as extreme, unelectable, and likely to hurt down-ballot races.

I don't think Warren needs to "look out for the DNC" like there's going to be some big conspiracy to rig the election and steal the nomination from her.  Despite the neverending internet gaslighting, that did not happen in 2016 and is not going to happen in 2020.

Of course, if the DNC does something shockingly nefarious like sending private e-mails to each other after the election complaining that she hasn't dropped out yet, I'll eat my words.

Then I'm almost in total agreement, maybe. 

There will kind of be a conspiracy between some I think.  Okay scratch that.  Collusion. The change for Warren from positive coverage to negative coverage will be immediately palpable on every mainstream news station from Fox to MSNBC once she's in striking distance of Biden.  It's kind of like when the left-wing media was in love with McCain and Romney during the Republican primary and then totally scorched them as soon as they won the nomination.  I think for establishment Democrats, they'll wait until either Sanders or Warren starts making headway.  Then they'll cut which ever one down like the axe Trump used on that huckleberry Bush.  I doubt there will be private e-mails to help you make sense of it all like in 2016.  Trump can only call Putin for so many favors.  The great thing about it is it confirmed my beliefs about the way the Republican and Democrat party operate in unfairly ignoring or destroying the candidates of non-noble decent.

Okay I just read this post. I sound even more conspiratorial and creepy than my last post.  I'm gonna open a shade cause sitting in total darkness is clearly not healthy.

Let's be fair though, there's been a tremendous amount of negative Biden coverage too.  After the first debate the media acted like his campaign was over.  Before he got in there were a hundred "he's a #MeToo scandal waiting to happen" articles.  We've had that outrageously dishonest headline about "Biden's 'middle-of-the-road' climate plan" (not an actual quote in any way, shape or form), the very misleading "nothing will fundamentally change" story that removed all context, etc.

The media just wants a horse race.  Whenever a candidate gets momentum or crosses a new threshold, they'll spend a week writing glowing stories, then delve into their record and tear them apart to stop the momentum.  It's happened with every single candidate so far going back several election cycles, and if Warren gets enough momentum to challenge Biden, it will happen, not because it's Biden but because that's just the cycle you have to get used to.

Appears Warren copied Kamala’s gun control plan...

But this’ll get buried in the forum

I get the sense that Warren is trying to play the long game - keeping a lower profile and maintaining a hyper-focus on policy while not going negative on her fellow competitors. She has also invested plenty of resources in the early states, and her standing in the polls has increased. Time will tell if this will be enough to win.

I'd say it gives her a better chance then happening into a perfect gottcha moment for Biden in a debate that gives her, at best, a few weeks of a poll boost, or something similar. There are many differences between Democratic and Republican voters, but the flavor of the month issue where someone gains and then loses a bunch of support due to a temporary boost in positive coverage is a gamble. And one someone like Warren is smart to not seek out, instead relying on more solid campaign fundamentals to get a solid base that will withstand negative news events and for which a positive news event can boost off of.

She would be a great president, but who would she choose as vp nominee. I hope Tulsi Gabbard or Bernie Sanders. Would be happy with Jay Inslee or Pete Buttigieg as well.

Considering Abrams said she's open to being anyone's VP/running mate, maybe Warren considers her at the very least if she became the nominee?

I don't understand why anyone would consider Stacey Abrams for VP.  Her only political experience is in the Georgia general assembly.  She has never won a federal election.  Prior to her political career she only worked at some small legal firms.

I'm sorry but she's completely unqualified to be anywhere near the White House.

We did a primary straw poll at a local county party event with about 200+ in attendance last weekend. Elizabeth Warren crushed it she got 47%, Biden got 19%, Harris/Sanders/Booker/Klobuchar/Gabbard all were in low single digits....glad to know for the most part the activist base is with her. She will need it against the Biden machine.

Warren is the only candidate with no questions asked by any candidate. Sanders doesn't ask him that he had no sympathy for Medicareforall & only supported in last moment after most Presidential candidates had already done or about her hawkish stances & promoting endless wars or voting for massive military budgets.

The moderates don't attack her for her temperament or unelectability vs Trump in a GE. She has gotten a free pass. Sanders has to answer the tough questions of Medicare for all & she can just say sweet words about structural change..

Warren pushes tribal plan amid new Trump attacks on Native American claims

Quote
Sen. Elizabeth Warren has rolled out many detailed plans on the presidential campaign trail, but on Friday she released her longest, most comprehensive one. The topic: Native Americans and tribal rights.

The proposal, released ahead of a presidential forum on the topic in Iowa on Monday, comes as Warren has risen in the polls and as President Donald Trump has stepped up his attacks on the Massachusetts senator and her past claims of Native American heritage.

“The story of America’s mistreatment of American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians is a long and painful one, rooted in centuries of discrimination, neglect, greed, and violence,” Warren wrote in a Medium post. “Washington owes Native communities a fighting chance to build stronger communities and a brighter future.”

At more than 9,000 words, the plan is more than double the length of any other proposal she’s introduced during her presidential campaign. That includes her ambitious plans to break up some of the biggest tech companies in the world, forgive more than $600 billion in student loan debt, and revamp the federal government’s investment in rural America — including a massive expansion of broadband.

Warren pushes tribal plan amid new Trump attacks on Native American claims

Quote
Sen. Elizabeth Warren has rolled out many detailed plans on the presidential campaign trail, but on Friday she released her longest, most comprehensive one. The topic: Native Americans and tribal rights.

The proposal, released ahead of a presidential forum on the topic in Iowa on Monday, comes as Warren has risen in the polls and as President Donald Trump has stepped up his attacks on the Massachusetts senator and her past claims of Native American heritage.

“The story of America’s mistreatment of American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians is a long and painful one, rooted in centuries of discrimination, neglect, greed, and violence,” Warren wrote in a Medium post. “Washington owes Native communities a fighting chance to build stronger communities and a brighter future.”

At more than 9,000 words, the plan is more than double the length of any other proposal she’s introduced during her presidential campaign. That includes her ambitious plans to break up some of the biggest tech companies in the world, forgive more than $600 billion in student loan debt, and revamp the federal government’s investment in rural America — including a massive expansion of broadband.


There is A LOT here if you read through the whole plan. It's quite remarkable actually.

So she’s got Deb Haaland in her corner. If she gets endorsements from specific tribes and the National Congress of American Indians, does that help counteract Trump’s Pocahontas barb?

Elizabeth Warren probably needs to win Iowa to win the nomination, but I think she's in a good position to do so. If she does, she can probably win NH as well and polarize the race into her v Biden, which is a pretty helpful framing as Biden would basically be Clinton Minus compared to 2016, without the outsized women's vote HRC received.

You’re working under the assumption that Trump uses the racial slur because he cares about Native Americans.
