CNN’s Chris Cillizza made former Vice President Joe Biden the big loser in his Democratic primary “Midweek Grades” segment after Biden opened up a huge lead against Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren in CNN’s latest poll, and while he graded lower-polling candidates like Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar and Mayor Pete Buttigieg, California Senator Kamala Harris was disappeared from the segment.

On Wednesday’s edition of New Day, Cillizza handed out his “Midweek Grades,” giving Independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders the highest marks for his big comeback rally, and endorsements from 3/4 of The Squad. Sanders lost a point in CNN’s poll.

He gave Warren a “B+,” despite the fact that she’s beating Sanders in that — and every other — poll, explaining that “Medicare for All” is becoming a liability for Warren. It is, but the guy who wrote the damn bill and is polling lower than her still got an “A” for some reason.

Then, there was Biden, who scored the lowest grade at a “C+” despite crushing Warren in the new poll, and reversing a trend that has shown her eating into his national lead in recent weeks. Cillizza cited Biden’s fundraising woes and his apology for having used the term “lynching” in a 1998 interview as reasons for the low grade.

1. Well, if Cillizza said it, then it must be true.

Has Cillizza ever been right about anything?

14. What's his claim to fame? Why do we care what he thinks?

2. I have no issue with this

the poll is a general poll and not a poll of the early states which the Iowa poll has showed Biden/Warren in a tie and Biden's support dropping plus Biden is having money issues along with small crowds - while Bernie and EW have large size crowds.

Pete and Amy had good debate performances.


Not sure what the big deal is here

EW & sanders both transferred money from their senate re-election fund- EW to the tune of 10 million. I’ll let you do the math

4. I saw the segment this morning

I think he was basing the grade on more than just poll numbers.

5. Well there it is, time to anoint Biden as our nominee.

6. Chris Sleazy biggest loser. I never could understand his hate of Hillary.

7. Let the talking heads say what they think they have to say.

Our laser focus needs to be getting Trump out of the White House by any legal mans necessary. If he isn't removed by the impeachment process then we must defeat him in the election whether it's Joe Biden or anyone else at the top of our ticket. So I'm not going to obsess over polls.

8. Elizabeth Warren has had a Bad week

Cillizza is the worst of the worst amongst political commentators ….. He is probably a great husband and wonderful Dad but he is really bad at his job ….……..Warren has had a rough week ...In the last 6 national polls released; she is down to an aggregate support of just 20.5% ...Biden is at 29% ….Bernie is now at 17.5% ………..It's not the end of the world for Liz , but she has gone from being the co-frontrunner in the race to someone clearly in second place - but now well behind Frontrunner Biden ……… ………… Memo to CNN : I'll take over Chris' gig for 1/4th of his pay …….I'm old and not much to look at but I am , at least, in possession of a few clues ……………
