Thank you, Senator Warren, for taking the time to meet with my @NYUAbuDhabi class. They absolutely loved you. pic.twitter.com/O09CwCLETt

FiveThirtyEight & Ipsos did a poll of debate watchers, very interesting: The December Democratic Debate in 6 Charts, Dec. 20, and they also previously posted this staff chat: What Surprised Us About The December Democratic Debate

I'm not a big Biden fan, but I'll definitely take the win over puzzling over another loss for 4 years.
I was happy re: Booker, but it seems he just didn't push out of his comfort zone, dunno why.
If Klobuchar can catch fire, fine. I'm worried Warren will scare off a lot of people carrying Bernie's water.
Don't know if Steyer's making a dent with the last debate et al.
Andrew Yang just seems to make too many rookie mistakes.
Though I'm for some reason not really paying attention to any of the debates or speeches,
so my word is pretty meaningless.

He goes on to advise:

Even if she had simply said, “I used to raise $$ like that, and I came to believe-even tho I didn’t FEEL influenced-the amount of time I was spending w/affluent folks was unhealthy. I think it’s unhealthy for our democracy. So I resolved to run my race 4 president differently.” https://t.co/pgsyyXmdi9

If @ewarren had done that, she would have gotten out in front of the predictable hypocrisy stories and neutralized them by conceding the obvious. There was no need to gild the lily. Like I said, it was an unforced error.

Yes, this is what she said, after repeated questioning. But why not incorporate that into your debate attack when millions are watching? You have to anticipate the inevitable hypocrisy blowback and neutralize it.
.@ewarren has run a brilliant race. This was a mistake. https://t.co/Eq7njYodsP

Axelrod on the wine cave "error":

This was the danger in the @ewarren “wine cave” attack on @PeteButtigieg. Her own past fundraising practices were pretty much in line with his, including even some of the same high dollar sponsors. She invited stories like this. Unforced error.https://t.co/OpO7U9avP3

We all know you hate Warren. More than Sanders apparently since you rarely if ever criticize him. There's a lot a meaningful critiques you could make about her but you don't. You just make nonsense insults or distort her positions. You've become the Tucker Carlson of Dagblog when it comes to Warren. Or more appropriately, the peter of the left.

Very interesting thread on Warren and the debate from a guy that is not ashamed to be called neo-liberal:

1/OK I want to rant about Warren, Bernie, the primary election, and how the topic shifted from stuff I was passionate about to stuff that leaves me cold.

Edit to add: not the least of which because, as opposed to our NCD at Dag, he likes that Liz has lots of plans, he likes a lot of her plans. But then, there's that also that he's a policy econ wonk guy and not your average voter...Still, he is know to piss off lots of leftie "progressives".

In reply to Or the 77-year old who just

I agree, both Sanders and Warren are too old but at least with them I can't see any loss of cognitive function. But that heart attack isn't meaningless, speaking as someone who had one. I had thought the loss of heart function merely affected my strength and stamina but I've come to realize it's affected my concentration as well.

I've always been poor and when I did some building project for my self I used what ever pieces of wood left over from other jobs or picked up from the dump. It was never a problem to puzzle piece them together. I just visualized and measured and got it done. I just built a floor for a shed with all these pieces and kept making errors. Bad measurements, bad cuts. The mental decline from the heart attack was obvious to me and I'm only 62.

I support Warren as the most progressive that seems to still have it together despite her age. But if we're going to go with a centrist why not Klobuchar instead of Biden, or Cory Booker?
