give over.

And you think he is either going to be impeached by the House and Senate or he is going to resign?
Or he could be ill. If he’s still Pres by then they’ll fix the election anyway..or just not hold them...by special decree of. that bloke in the WH who ignores the law and the Constitution. He does what he wants.

You need to climb the ladder to real. Anyone of the Dems challenging Trump is a better option than Trump whether they’re called Bernie Sanders or not. Look at your country now after less than 3 years of his ladyship. Where do you think it will be in another 3 years?
'better than Trump' is a pretty low bar.

To say we need to get behind Warren now is ridiculous. Because of what? Polls. That is a laugh.
When she says she is a capitalist she is shouting out to Corporations she has their bacK.

She is no progressive.

I’m not saying get behind Warren, I’m just saying be very grateful that all of the Dem candidates are better than Trump. You know the saying...any port in a storm. Don’t pull your own candidates down, Trump is already doing that. They need your support.

The primaries are about highlighting the differences.
We want the best candidate to face Trump.
Based on policies its Sanders by a mile.

I doubt pointing out that Warren is a Centrist is going to hurt her should she have to face Trump.

Getting behind the nominee is aways away. We need to cross that bridge when we come to it.

Your idea of the best candidate might not be the same as everyone else’s though. And it might not be the best one to defeat the GOP.

Warren is blatantly not a centrist in the context of American politics.

Who has the best policies?
Fortunately I don't buy the liberal media bias against Bernie.
Do watch Bernie's new ad if you have not see it that highlights the lies the liberal media are pushing.
What isn't lies is that he's Going to be 79 at the time of the election... And he's just had a heart attack
I'd say that is sub optimal... And probably makes his VP pick critical to his election opportunities
Personally if Warren's momentum continues I think he will withdraw

If Sanders thinks his health is a handicap, he will withdraw.

As for forecasts, we all can do that.

EDIT:
His VP pick will most likely be Nina Turner.

Over half of the Democratic Party self-identified as moderate or conservative. Of course, labels can be misleading, but still...

warren does better with self-identified liberals, especially among the sometimes-included category of strong liberals, while bernie gets a roughly equal share of liberals and moderates. (biden mops up the conservatives, which suggests that at least that label means something).

Anyway, lying centrist Elizabeth Warren just vouched to not hold private fundraisers and take lobbyist money in the general. Expect a huge surge in fundraising for Biden or Buttchug in the next quarter.
