She will not win the states we need. That being said I will work my ass off if she is the nominee and pray everyday that I am wrong about this.

and voter suppression, and there's no reason to assume he won't be.

We have to fight that no matter who we nominate. And if we do a good enough job, any of our candidates would beat Trump.

candidates can beat Trump. He is going to be tough beat...which is why geography is important this time...Warren won't win the rust belt...Trump gets and Electoral College win...no doubt she wins the popular vote but that is meaningless in or system.

he will do fine...but I could give two shits about Iowa or New Hampshire...two small white states that have undue influence in my book. This is not 08...the whole world has changed. We have as a country moved right.

a relatively unknown Senator like Warren to weather it.o...and there it is. All of our candidates can beat Trump...no they can't- just because you and I despise Trump doesn't mean the rest of voters do... and that is the mistake of progressives who think they can move left because...this is the year anyone can beat the incumbent...it is not true and we believe at our own peril.

To me, what the results indicate is that Bernie Sanders supporters continue to defect from him to Senator Warren.

I am simply stunned that Senator Warren latched on to and so far is staying MFA, a loser politically, IMO.
