Is it true? I think, it is.

Is she really going to try and contest Super Tuesday after today? Yikes.

 It doesn't matter, it's not hurting Bernie. Bernie's people are solid, everybody else is split. Bernie is going to be the nominee barring some shocking development. Warren already did her job and smashed Bloomberg and advocated for great policy.

Do the right thing Liz. Drop out & endorse Bernie. She can still b e Secretary of Treasury.

About 7,000 in Seattle for Warren. Her campaign manager says her vote shared increased more than 50% after the debate (from early vote) and she has raised $21m this month so far, only $4m shy of what Bernie did in January...

Sanders drew 17K in Washington so this crowd while good is not that big. Also Bernie will raise 35M+ this month maybe even 40M.

Hope Liz Warren sees the light & drops out before Super Tuesday instead of dropping after losing Massachusetts which will be a humiliation for him.

The fact that she had to start her speech with the reason why she's staying in clearly shows that she understands that her time is up. She knows it, and her campaign knows it, they were likely discussing before she went on stage. The campaign manager tweeting her exact justification right before her speech hints that there was a discussion beforehand on whether she should continue. She has to know that her newfound money is temporary, especially since people can see her NV vote totals and realize how little it appears to have moved the needle.

So everyone knows she's running a zombie campaign right now. A zombie campaign with money yes, but one that has yet to prove it can win serious amounts of votes.

When she drops, she likely won't help Bernie. Her inability to succeed is because he has a near lock on the progressive base. Some votes will transfer to Bernie, but Warren gets most of her votes these days from the same educated women as Klobuchar and Pete.

Pete has already got her votes otherwise he would be polling @ 8-10% & not 20% among White voters. Same with Klobuchar & her rise. Both Pete & Klobuchar have gained white voters @ the expense of Biden & Warren.

Morning Consult with a massive sample size has been doing the 2nd choice time & again & it is 50%+ Bernie & the rest distributed. Bernie has crossed 30% in many polls & if Warren drops out he will cross 35% & may well approach 40% which will help bigtime in Super Tuesday (I am also expecting a 1-2% bump from Nevada). There is a huge difference between 30% & 40% in ST & it will lead to 100s of Delegates, maybe even a contested convention being ruled out.

Also in states like California, it will massively pad up Bernie's numbers because CA Warren voters have Bernie as 2nd choice overwhelmingly.

"I want to talk specifically for just a minute at the top about a threat that is coming our way. And it's a big threat -- not a tall one, but a big one: Michael Bloomberg," the senator said before accusing the billionaire of trying to buy the election.

Warren mocks Bloomberg's height

She is probably auditioning to be Bernie's or Biden's VP !

[Shadows]

During a campaign speech in Seattle on the night of the Nevada Caucus, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) tore into former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg as an “arrogant billionaire.” Warren warned about “a threat that is coming our way.” She argued the billionaire would be the “riskiest” choice for Democrats to pick to take on President Donald Trump.

“And here’s the problem, he’s hiding his taxes, he doesn’t want you to see them until after the election — who knows what lurks there?” Warren said.

Warren keeps dunking on Bloomberg which will help Biden & Bernie. I think she is a favored candidate to be VP of either especially Biden who could do with a progressive woman as VP & Bernie anyways wants Warren as VP

[OkThen]

Shadows, I'm curious: How would you feel if Bernie chose Liz for VP? Displeased? Indifferent?

It is the ideal choice given if Tammy Baldwin won't be chosen. Sanders needs a progressive & a women/person of colour. If he goes for a Black/Brown make he can chose Ro Khanna too but I don't see that happening. He can go for Barbara Lee.  Ocasio Cortez can't be chosen but AOC is the future. Look @ Sanders' numbers with Hispanics. AOC will draw more of the woman, Latino & young vote & will lead this coalition in future.

We believe the Nevada debate will have more impact on the structure of the race than the Nevada result. Since a huge percentage of the votes were cast before the debate -- likely well more than half -- tonight’s results are a lagging indicator of the current state of the race.

Here’s our sense of where the others stand: Biden was heavily favored to win NV until only two weeks ago, so this is further evidence of his steep decline. As we’ve said previously, further Biden collapse makes the race even more fluid.

It appears that Buttigieg’s fundraising is drying up and he may struggle to continue even to Super Tuesday. Klobuchar has no apparent path, but has the cash windfall from NH to hang around.

Both Bloomberg and Sanders have effectively unlimited resources to compete (for very different reasons), but each also has a significant ceiling on their eventual support both in the primary and in the general.

Sanders had a good result in Nevada. It doesn’t change the state of play for Super Tuesday.

You all should consider buying some Liz Warren campaign gear when it goes on sale and she drops out.

[Heebie Jeebie]

Assuming she's not on the ticket, would Warren be a good fit for Treasury Secretary?  Or is there another position in the executive branch she's more suited for?

She would be able to get more stuff done in the Senate.

I question that.  She's unlikely to chair any Senate committee, and there's a strong likelihood that Republicans will control the Senate anyway.

That really explains why there's so much woke anti-Bernie crap on there.

That's also the percentage she got among those who decided after the Nevada debate.

Given what has been reported about Warren's campaign, and given that her candidacy is now on life support, I find it interesting that she just now decided to start running ads in my home state of Colorado. She is the only other candidate besides Bloomberg to have done so at this point. And in her ads, she's trying to tie herself to President Obama, using his comments from a decade ago when he placed her in charge of the CFPB. It's ironic, because she's doing the exact same thing as Bloomberg, whom she has heavily criticized: implying an Obama endorsement in her ads.
