Elizabeth Warren may have put a dent in Sanders' support last night,

not by taking on Bernie, but by staking her claim to be the best candidate to take on the 'billionaire class' that includes Donald Trump.

For those fretting about Bernie's rise to the top, perhaps you should be asking yourself why 'moderates' spent so little time attacking their so called 'idealogical opponent'. The 'moderate' leader, Joe Biden, spent some time showering Bernie with complements. Guess what - he will take them, and has!

Come Nevada, Biden, Buttigieg et al., are thinking Bernie could be a real threat? Wake up and smell the covfefe.

1. There's one reason and one reason only

for Bernie’s “rise to the top”. There are 4 non-Bernie candidates splitting the vote. Sanders would be toast otherwise.

2. 4 non-Bernie candidates who don't spend much time taking on Bernie

Bloomberg might break that mound - but they have spent their time taking on Warren and each other. Biden has said so many positive things about Bernie, perhaps if he drops out he can join the Sanders campaign.


Joe likes me, this I know, because the guy has told me so.

5. Totally agree and my biggest criticism of Warren

is that she’s been reticent to criticize him. She was touting Sanders’ Green New Deal on stage last night. He’s her main rival. Don’t do his work for him , for gods sakes. Meanwhile , Bernie surrogates have been dragging her through the mud from day one.

3. Going back to Elizabeth

Was there before After tonight's debate I think she would handle Donald J. thin skinned maggot pretty well.

4. Mike Bloomberg was an unwilling Donald Trump stand-in last night.

I think we know how Elizabeth would take down Donald Trump - without mercy.

6. Good. I can get on board with Warren but not Sanders.

7. Thinking our best team is WarrenBiden.

Bottom two...

Sanders /Bloomberg.

8. Getting on board with Sanders is a trip on the Titanic.

I know his supporters can not see the icebergs ahead, but for the rest of us, it's a vision of trump laughing on election night, and the Republic on the ocean floor.

13. I don't laugh, I giggle,

because Warren has much the same agenda as Sanders. I agree 100% that the Democratic party needs to elect a progressive for a change.

9. Good! I'm all for Sanders but would happily vote for Warren!

Biden, Bloomberg, not so much.

[denem]

10. Bloomberg would be one hell of a tough sell

to the younger, more progressive wing of the party.

12. Bloomberg is a tough sell to anyone who isn't a sexist republican racist. n/t

11. I have liked Warren for a long time. I wanted her to run in 2016.

She's my choice in this field. But, I have no problems supporting Sanders. I think that she would do well to continue and focus on the nazi in the white house and the orchestrated unfairness of life for the non-wealthy.

14. I think she'll get attract from all candidates after last night.

15. I thought Liz was crushing it

16. I hope so,

Senator Warren shows a better understanding of how our government works than Bernie does.
She also doesn't have the baggage of the angry fanatical supporters that follow Bernie. Of course, when someone running for office in a democracy calls for revolution, that probably attracts supporters who want a revolution. So hooray for Warren for taking on Bernie.
