  1. D primaries usually have plenty of attack ads and candidates directly going after each other. This time around it looks like the supporters will do the dirty work on social media while the candidates play much nicer in public. We live in interesting times.

    It's new to me that she talked about her parents being involved in a shotgun wedding (I thought it was like her great-great-grandparents or something) and I also didn't know it was all made up anyway.

    New to me as well and we both follow this shit closer than 99% of people. Not good.

    To be fair to Pete, he didn’t “take aim” at Elizabeth Warren in this reporting.  Still not the best answer, very Delaney like.

    He’s been making subtle jabs at Warren, Harris, Bernie and Biden. Sack up and hit them instead of playing coy.

    Sneaky Pete is a common theme I’m seeing.

    Watch the video and stop being so sensitive. God forbid a candidate actually answers questions. 

     

  4. Pete spoke today in Austin at the Tribune Festival. I'm biased, but found it to be one of his better interviews. Worth the watch if you want to hear some interesting broader outlooks instead of wonky policy stuff and number crunching. 

    Stephanie Ruhle interviewed him.

    So all she has to do is write down some original detailed plan for you to believe her?  That’s your bar?  Anyone can do that and be completely full of shit.  

    /facepalm

    And you fully believe her just because she says it?

    You just can’t take yes for an answer is what it is.  You are on the “keep proving it” treadmill. 

    She's a politician, Hugo. And the only top candidate who hasn't released a detailed healthcare plan yet. 

    Also, Kamala co-sponsored Bernie's M4A bill as well. Then she came out with her own plan that varies greatly from Bernie's. Excuse me for not just taking her word for it based on saying the words Medicare For All. We've already been burned once. 

     

  7. BTW, there are 2 reasons I think Warren will soften her stance on M4A. 

    1. My bullshit detector goes off with her evasiveness of the middle class tax cut question and her very carefully worded language when discussing even the broadest detail of M4A.  

    2. If she's really not concerned about the details and the goal is to move the Overton Window (as Hugo alludes to), then she is obviously not a strong advocate for M4A. Therefore she won't be willing to lose a general election over it and will pivot if/when she goes against Trump.
