No lie there white boy.
As I said last week, one of the things that is holding Biden's numbers up (even though they are declining) is that dem voters don't like the other ones down below all that much. Versus with Clinton and Obama. Clinton polled at coronation levels but many dems were developing a genuine tingle for Obama. You are not seeing/going to see that this time. Dems will go flaccid on Biden, and then try hard to get excited about Warren. And yes, I know that there are a bunch who just want to be excited about someone and Warren will be the recipient of their excitement. And that is good news for her, but she will need to do more than that to take those outside her lefty lane.
Warren needs to walk through two minefields of challenge. One is from the so-called moderates (as if lefty joe is a moderate, yeh right) and the other is from those who are ultra-lefty as she is but are loyal to Bernie.
As discussed, there is a sequence to the kabucki dance. Bernie and Pocah need to take Joe down out of the "clear-leader" category, then deal with each other later. In progress as we speak. Joe does have a true base of support that goes beyond just his name recognition and hype about being the only one who can beat Trump- but it much lower than his previous/current numbers indicate. So he will fall from the Great White Hope status very soon, but I am not saying he will fold. He will just fall down into the pack. Of course that is fatal in the long run if your entire campaign is built around being the only one who can beat Trump "according to the polls."
