The GOP is practically ignoring Warren.  I take that as a sign that she either poses no threat to win the nomination or they are hoping she can take the lead and somehow win.

Completely agree. They want her to be the nominee. They probably see her as a second-rate Hillary who will be easier to tie to socialism than Hillary was, has less resources (both financial and personal connections) than Hillary, and isn’t married to a popular former president like Hillary. 

Wow do these 2 comments nail it. The GOP would LOVE Warren as the nominee. 

Warren will be crucified by trump and he will be able to drag her down to his level by eviscerating her for her dishonesty.

She really needs to stop lying before she drags the party down.

This is sarcasm, right?

Sarcasm???  I totally agree with this.  Being a Republican leaning voter this is absolutely what is wished for.  If Biden is the guy the Dem’s have a chance this time around.   All the others, especially Warren make it a landslide.   The Dem’s will have their first Socialist President in 8-12 years when all the kids who were brought up by Snowflakes get their first chance to vote.  

Hey look, another Republican telling democrats who their nominee should be.

Hahahaha this is funny. This is kinda how I feel about this when I’m looking at the candidates. But I really am going to vote for one....but it feels weird as I know I’m not the target audience in a Democratic Party primary.

Well, you're not Sanders or Warren's target at least.  I feel like when Pete, Joe or Amy speak, I'm connecting with their ideas.  I figured you'd be aligned with some of their policies.  

What I like about how Pete's representing, is that he reads as authentic in both having long-term vision, and also in incrementalism by laying stepping stones to reach that vision, all the while toeing the line delicately to make sure not to present himself as being supportive of just 'blowing it all up'.

Funny because that's how I approach work every day.  I don't blow up things that are working to improve them by 10%.  I focus on the 10% while trying to minimize the introduction of risk.  No wonder he appeals to me.  It's a systematic approach, one that moves you forward without putting too much of what you've accomplished at risk.  

You and I both Feel like we may be cut from a similar cloth (though I get the feeling you've become an expert in this where I'm still learning).

If I was voting in primary today, I’d be voting Buddha, and most likely will be come time. I like Pete at the top of ticket, but don’t think he fits as a vp. His Midwest roots would be a plus though.
Biden/Booker
Biden/Warren
Biden/Buddha 
Biden/Rice
Biden/Holder
Warren/?
Buddha/Booker
Buddha/?
Will Smith/Clooney 
?/?

But do you think Clooney would go for VP? I know it's Will Smith and all, but still.

Could be an outlier, could be a result of Warren taking some good punches in the debate.

What is going to be telling are the Iowa caucuses, NH primary followed by Super Tuesday. Liz and Pete have excellent ground games in Iowa and NH but does it translate to Super Tuesday and in particular, southern and Midwest states? Me thinks not but I won’t be surprised if Joe finishes second or third in Iowa and NH and rebounds in the south and mid west. It’s still waaaaay too early.

I expect Joe to finish 3rd or 4th in Iowa.  But I think that's okay.  He needs to get into the South and Midwest, where his strength will be. 
The other wild card is the impeachment trial.  If it starts in January, Warren, Booker, Bernie, Kamala and Amy will all have to be DC for the trial which will take weeks.  That will be very bad for them.
