Warren has two routes to victory:

(1) Win enough delegates to build a plausible case for her nomination if no candidate has a majority.
(2) Come out of Super Tuesday with more delegates than any candidate other than Sanders (and possibly Bloomberg), and rapidly consolidate support from every segment of the party that is unsympathetic to either.

Either route relies on her passing the viability threshold in Nevada,  but that's not in much doubt at this point: It's more a question of whether she can pull away from the pack or if she remains one of several candidates who win delegates by the skin of their teeth.

If she keeps up these strong debate performances she could be the compromise candidate at the convention in a scenario where Bernie has 35-40% of delegates.

 I doubt she would ever be the compromise candidate because Wall Street and the corporate Democratic Party backers actually dislike her way more than Bernie. Her competency is terrifying to these guys.

Pure word salad from this incoherent, blithering moron.



While I think the statement is not the best, to refer to her as a blithering moron is just ignorant of reality. Especially when Warren is infinitely more competent in explaining and actually understanding the same policies that Bernie is putting forward. On every front her policies are more realistic, detailed, and well thought out than Bernie. So insulting her intelligence is really just a cheap shot that only plays into the Bernie Bro narrative that is being pushed

 2016 Bernie was not in favor of the candidate with the most delegates getting the nomination. I wonder what changed?

Warren supporters never call other candidates "blithering morons."

But it's just another day for Sanders supporters.

Why?  Because the core of their campaign is this hateful, angry, toxic sphere of influence that works day and night to extend its tendrils of influence into all corners of the internet.

This sphere is essentially a collection of influential figures who peddle in relentless attacks on other candidates, lies about the party, lies about politics and policy in general, conspiracy theories, anger, hatred, and yes, often violence.

Most parts of this sphere have at least some connection to the campaign.  A large number of them are people who are directly connected to Sanders (such as Cenk Uygur, whom he endorsed for Congress) or even on Sanders' payroll.

Wow.... so immature and antagonizing. At least respond with some substance rather than just trolling. If you have a substantive point to make feel free, but just sitting back and making snarky comments with no reference to any other opinion or information makes you look childish

My point is she's an idiot, she ran an awful campaign and she keeps proving that over and over. Like just read this thread. It's not indicative of a healthy campaign.

Nobody. F[inks]king. Cares. You'll be voting for Sanders in 8 months, so deal with it.

While it's not a good look reversing on super PACs, This is a great strategic move to give yourself the best chance to win. Bloomberg has already proven that you can buy support, why would anyone handicap themselves out of purity politics.

There's no question Warren's a huge hypocrite. I doubt the super PAC thing affects NV at all though. She did very well at the debate and will probably overperform her polling by a bit there.

Interesting in light of Bernie stans giving Warren crap over the Super PAC.



Now Bernie has a misleading tweet saying he's the only one who doesn't "have a Super PAC that's spending millions" - technically, National Nurses United spending is under $1 million and technically Our Revolution is not a Super PAC, however the latter has not disclosed all its donors and has spent significant amounts of money to help Bernie since Iowa. Not to mention its former head is now a senior campaign aide of Sanders, and it has been accused of illegal coordination by watchdog groups. But even if you're not bothered by any of that, the deceptive nature of this latest hit is not good.
