In a response to a debate question in 2007, Joe Biden says he's against single-payer and then unrelatedly attacks Bill Richardson, Hillary Clinton, and John Edwards to applause. The amount of open debate and conflict today among Dems is way lower today than during it was in '08. https://t.co/z541pYeAiF — PolitiTweet.org

If any other white male politician like Beto, Bernie or Buttigieg had Biden’s history with Anita Hill + a slew of recent inappropriate touching stories, their campaigns would likely be over. The old guard in the Democratic Party establishment has protected Biden through it all. — PolitiTweet.org

@finneyk I like Elizabeth Warren's plan more, but the tuition-free college plan that Bernie Sanders proposed on May 19, 2015 was funded through a tax on Wall Street transactions. That's also the funding mechanism outlined in Pramila Jayapal's house companion bill for free college. https://t.co/p9tzZgWukj — PolitiTweet.org

@cwabobmaster @NateSilver538 I agree and also believe she has authentic convictions there. I’m talking about what I hear from some Sanders supporters about why they prefer him over Warren: M4A shakiness / belatedness, Native ancestry DNA test, non-endorsement in 2016 come up most often as reasons. — PolitiTweet.org

Waleed Shahid @_waleedshahid

@NateSilver538 It's a long race but so far Warren has tried to win over voters by proposing bold progressive policies. She's also tried to draw distinctions as someone with "a real plan" to actually enact these big policies. But I'm also a bit surprised that she's struggled to move the needle. — PolitiTweet.org

Waleed Shahid @_waleedshahid

@murshedz I'm just referring to the "free college" bill. I don't think anyone sponsored it in 2015 besides Bernie. I don't think Warren introduced a bill to make college free, but I could be wrong. https://t.co/QfocuDHiwq — PolitiTweet.org

Waleed Shahid @_waleedshahid

@NateSilver538 Eh. I like Warren, but part of Bernie's appeal with his base is his authenticity. Bernie was advocating some of the contemporary Democratic Party's big policy ideas (free college + single-payer in particular) before Warren. Warren only co-sponsored those bills after 2016. — PolitiTweet.org

Warren is also only at 2% with voters under 50, where Sanders is leading the pack at 30%. Buttigieg also doing surprisingly well there. https://t.co/Rk3KtmDtMT — PolitiTweet.org

Waleed Shahid @_waleedshahid

It’s way too early but Elizabeth Warren at 1% with Democratic voters of color in the new national Monmouth poll is quite surprising considering all her outreach and overtures. Among Democratic voters of color: Sanders: 27% Biden: 25% Harris: 11% https://t.co/bx8pY3oCyv https://t.co/Pkn8IoysAn — PolitiTweet.org

Waleed Shahid @_waleedshahid

One of Warren’s major issues is that a set of highly educated liberal/progressive elites love her — but that hasn’t translated to mass appeal among the electorate. Warren is the #2 or #3 for a lot of Bernie voters, who has more mass, but not elite, support. — PolitiTweet.org

Waleed Shahid @_waleedshahid

Lots of people on here complain that Warren doesn’t get much coverage but I think a lot of journalists and the liberal pundit class are covering Elizabeth Warren positively and many are cheering on her underdog candidacy — especially compared to Bernie, Biden, Gillibrand, Booker. — PolitiTweet.org
