That Sanders has yet to win a battle to get a single major legislative achievement through in three plus decaes would seem to suggest that Warren would be exponentially more effective in implementing her agenda if elected. 

Fair, but that doesn’t really help them win the nomination, or at least it doesn’t help as much as siphoning support from each other. 

You know that he leads in that number across multiple income groups right?

Right...and according to that same picture when was she elected to the Senate

WTF are you talking about? 

The comments might not have been, the tweet pretty clearly was at least in part intended to be a shot at Warren. 

Tulsi, but I’d still vote for her over Trump, I’d just do so largely expecting a disasterous administration that would at the very least not have that soup con of “oh god what if he launches nukes in a fit of pique” that’s unique to Trump. 

I actually think he doesn’t have the same caliber of staff this time around because he’s bought into his own hype— compare his major 2016 primary hype/announcement video to the one he released this year- that one was all about people embracing a message that they could collectively improve their lives, this year it’s…

This. Godspeed to Bernie for being a voice in the wilderness for years but on policy he’s always been a bit of a progressive Beto- preferring platitudes to detailed solutions-- but since he was from the left and one of the only people arguing from his perspective he never really had the burden of actually producing…

This. Also, I was skeptical at first given her background (“Long-time Ivy League Professor” isn’t exactly a broad spectrum appeal) but she’s just better at explaining and selling progressive policies—even, perhaps especially, to a skeptical audience than Sanders has ever been.

The family self-dealing, the Vermont college collapse, I don’t personally have a problem with it but his position on guns is basically the same one that a lot of rural Dems get roasted for by national progressives, his rape essay was beyond Biden level creepy, the Honeymoon to Moscow, etc. Oh and the whole cult of…

The Native issue is certainly problematic, then again so are Sanders’s various family issues or some of his past positions on foreign policy or guns, etc. 

Maybe his response should be regularly releasing super detailed policy positions-- you know how Warren broke through and all. 

Seriously. Also, tying a candidate too closely to those that support them thing is a really, really bad argument for Sanders to be making given some of his more fringe supporters.

I think a big issue Bernie’s having is that he or his people seemed to assume that way, way too many of his 2016 voters were voting for Bernie Sanders and not to move the party to the left or because they didn’t like Hillary or what have you— he was basically an all-inclusive “Option B” in 2016- a choose you’re own…

Guns are the one area where Bernie being from a deep blue but rural state hurts him in the Primary but could help in the general election.

This is actually a huge problem with some candidates- if you actually compromise to get your legislation through-- be it Obama with the ACA or Warren with the CFPB and some financial regs then you’ll get attacked as a sellout whereas if you don’t compromise and thus have virtually no legislative achievements in 30…

To be clear- you’re cool with illegal surveillance? Or only cool with it so long as it supports ideologically acceptable goals? 

OTOH- if you don’t fire a police chief for illegally recording people you’re basically saying it’s cool for all law enforcement in South Bend to completely ignore warrants, etc. 

Bernie’s all about being progressive until it challenges his bros at the NRA.
