BF,
she showed off pretty good questioning chops for the Barr and Kavanaugh nomination process. usually the whole process is about a Senator trying to push talking points given free national media vs actually, well, questioning.
but that's not sufficient for a Presidential-level campaign.
thankfully this go-around the Sanders folks for the most part like Warren, even if she will never be the Sanders of their nirvana. at least it's not like the oil-water comparison between HRC and Sanders.
Warren's impressed me by her political ability to not only survive, but to learn from the earlier Trump attacks. she's been more a political fighter and less of the professor that I feared this would turn out to be. as it is, she's set herself pretty well politically because she will end up with the lion's share of the second/third-tier votes.
i don't foresee any of the second, let alone third-tier candidates recovering at this stage in the game. when Harris bows out, most of her constituency will go right into the Warren camp. same thing with Buttigieg (i personally would like to see a Warren-Buttigieg ticket). if and when Sanders goes, then they will flock to Warren.
Biden might pick up the Beto people (there's a guy I can't stand) and Klobuchar, which is worth like 3% combined.
She lacks any sort of cut through, which is something of a letdown. She can't be a worse AG than the current jellyfish, so I guess its not all bad.
but that's not sufficient for a Presidential-level campaign.
Bernie's heart flutter and Biden's issues might make her path a bit easier. We'll see. Just curious, do you see any more credible candidate in the pack and if yes, is there a remote chance they'll win the nomination?
