    Warren support breaks double digits: poll


    https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/446812-warren-support-breaks-double-digits-poll

    Go Warren go!
    To be fair,  it's only 1 point increase and within the MOE. What's becoming increasingly clear is Warren and Sanders are exchanging support.  I wonder if the far left wing can break 30 to 35% of the party. 
    She has momentum. 1 point since the last poll but on the upwards trajectory for awhile now when lots of pundits had written her off.

    My guess is Biden has no place to go but down, that's why I suspect he has been staying clear of certain events. Falling into the front runner trap and playing it safe. Warren has no place to go but up.
    We shall see.  The progressive pundits predicted he would drop after the announcement.  While he has settled slightly,  he maintains a commanding lead.  He'll perform well in the first three primaries which will force most candidates to exit.  Then it depends on where votes migrate.  The aura of inevitability is what each candidate wants by mid spring.  That's when the dominoes fall.

    Biden will be smoked after he slurs his way in old-man-slow-motion through the first debate. 

    This is the age of twitter soundbytes and podcasts on 1.5 speed. No one has the time for "the eagles soar over our beautiful land, the majestic vistas and people, ordinary people, americans with God in their hearts, helping each other rake their leaves. What happened with helping thy neighbour rake leaves?"

    Sanders and Warren comes with the passion. Buddaedgeedge with that JFK-quality. Kamala with a no-BS attitude.
    Clueless
    Nice attitude.

    I'm not distorting facts and skewing the truth to make a dishonest argument though.

    I got that going for me atleast. Clueless or not. Not a fan of lying my way through a discussion.

    That is just so sad that people already seem to think Biden is the one who might be the only one who can get this done. So, so sad.

    And people thought Jeb Bush would be the frontrunner.

    That's pretty obvious by the polls.

    Which at the start of the GOP primaries most thought it was Jebs to lose.

    Front runners and inevitable candidates have a history of flaming out.

    Only time will tell, but my guess is Biden isn't going to fair to well in the debates, everyone is going to beat up on the guy in the lead. And Biden has a history of losing.

    What was Betos "re-start" all about? What did he do that restarted it?

    It is simply an acknowledgement that Biden is a "safe" vote. The best candidate doesn't always get the nomination. The best candidate doesn't always win the election. Biden is a known quantity, who isn't necessarily a polarizing figure. Moderates make up a critical mass, so it only makes sense that someone like Biden would automatically assume the role of front-runner. And he polls well against Trump. My only care in 2020 is that a Dem beats Trump. So I'm perfectly happy that a Dem who polls well against Trump is currently the front-runner. Biden just polled 12 points higher than Trump in North Carolina.

    Is there a Chris Mattthews fan club? If not, you should start it and be its president!

    Now in the town hall they're talking about registering peoples guns or not. My God. 

    You don't have a "weapons license" for guns to connect a gun with the owner?
