Warren and her staff are allergic to process stories — it’s futile asking them about polls or crowds. Only time I’ve seen her engage lately was in Seattle when she said her record crowd resembled the kind of support presidents need to get legislative action on climate change.
— Sahil Kapur (@sahilkapur) September 7, 2019
My sense is that it's explicit; Warren wants crowds to leave in a good mood and thinking that she has an agenda, won't just focus on Trump noise.

Did you think Clinton's 20 million primary voters would just never vote again or something. https://t.co/hE1OJF2m5O
— Bret "Gregor Samsa" Stephens (@agraybee) September 8, 2019
Just doing a little bit of math here, Hillary received 16,914,722 votes in the 2016 primary.
There is no path to victory in the primary or the general for any Democrat who does not get the majority of those votes in the primary and the general.

The Clinton hate is strong but also it sells newspapers. Perhaps a great jumping off point to hit ewarren.
Jim, Foolish Literalist
interesting theory. There are some people who are convinced Warren is “angry”, and not just the right. She seems like the Happy Warrior to me.
Oh…. I can think of one candidate I’m guessing doesn’t have HRC’s cell number. Also, who’s angry? If you just look at lefty twitter, Barack Obama is the worst and most despised president since Nixon, but he has I believe over 90% approval with actual Democrats

Marca had a remarkable way of bringing out the best within us. For me, she was a trusted voice and a persistent, buoyant spirit—an example that progress can be slow, but it’s always possible. We’ll miss her, but we’re far better off because of her fight.

But rather than dwell on her misfortune, she became a powerful advocate for people with disabilities, spending her life working to change perceptions and the rules in a world that had traditionally ignored the needs of the disabled. She was a key player in the passage of the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, which outlawed discrimination against the nearly 50 million Americans with disabilities.

I had a talk with two of the mid-30’s coworkers yesterday, neither are that tuned into politics and whom I will once again give the address change forms so they can vote, but I’ll wait until I am sure they are both staying in their current digs. Both are convinced it will be Biden but don’t know who else is running, and both said they used to like Bernie because of what they thought he stood for but now realize he wags his finger a lot but has no actual plans or history of accomplishment.. I told them that Biden is too old and not an Obama clone (his main appeal to them), but if they lean towards what Bernie has said then Warren has better policies and ACTUAL PLANS. The response was “who?”. JFC, how to get the young people to pay attention?
In other news, the vast majority of my patients who bring up politics are extremely motivated for the D side. The only pro Mango Moron was a Hispanic guy who has the kind of well-paying but easy tech drone job that are evaporating fast but he doesn’t see that train coming down the track for him because all he watches and listens to is the RW Noise Machine. I predict his job will be gone just when he’s past that magic 50 years old marker, and since it is specialized for a single telecom provider, he’s going to be SOL.

The knives are definitely out for Warren. The NYT published something about money from big donors in previous elections, and the Left are all over it. The thing is, I think the people who give a damn would never have voted for any Democrat anyway.

The national media is owned by conservatives. trump is their leader. They want to keep their leader, because conservatism can not be wrong it can only be wronged.

I 100% believe this. Bolton hates all other countries. Trump hates all other countries. They could bitch together and say warlike things. In Trump’s toddler brain, it seemed like a perfect match. Then he gave Bolton the job, and it turns out Bolton actually wants war. Trump does not want war. War is scary because it turns out you can fuck it up and you get publicly shamed as less competent than Obama. Since Bolton got the job, it’s been nonstop haranguing to do things Trump does not want to do*. Unacceptable, and he only had to find a way around his cowardice to fire Bolton.
*Trump wants to sit on his ass.

Disagreeing with trump. How quaint. Hard to believe that Bolton isn’t enough racist for trump.

And part of me is wondering when the adults in the GOP are going to step in and end the chaos. Then again, if this keeps up, we could be looking a historic Dem landslide next November, so…lemonade out of lemons, I guess! =)”

I’m really not getting the Hillary Hate spewed by ‘ostensible Democrats’. When I say that I mean idiots who probably aren’t actual Democrats to begin with.
I like & liked Hillary, warts and all. Purity trolls drove a stake through Hillary’s campaign in 2016 and here they are demanding to be able to do it again if Bernie isn’t coronated. Clue to BernieBros….it doesn’t work that way. It didn’t work that way in 2016. It won’t in 2020 either.

@mrmoshpotato: There really are only three outcomes as a trumpov cabinet official or top adviser:
– fired after coming under investigation for corruption
– fired for trying to hold the line/follow the law/‘manage’ trumpov
– bumping along in quiet incompetence
Then I guess there is the Stephen Miller category
– kept on permanently as an ‘one man evil ideas machine’
But other than that, there are no other choices.
