The DNC has a real problem less than a week before December's primary debate. All seven Dem presidential candidates slated to debate said they would not participate if they have to cross the union's picket line to do it. w/ @KateSullivanDC: https://t.co/DQAIevMFD5 — PolitiTweet.org

After hours of tough headlines for the Sanders team, the senator retracts his endorsement: "I hear my grassroots supporters who were frustrated and understand their concerns. Cenk today said he is rejecting all endorsements for his campaign, and I retract my endorsement." — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Merica @merica

Just because Uygur *now* says he won't accept endorsements doesn't negate the fact that Sanders stepped out and publicly endorsed the candidate after his litany of comments. Story w/ @ryanobles: https://t.co/t9lxa3ex5O — PolitiTweet.org

.@UNITEHERE11 sent to the Dem campaigns a letter with this warning: “While we remain hopeful that the labor dispute can be resolved before next Thursday, we want to be clear that if the situation remains unresolved there could be picketing on the evening of the debate.” — PolitiTweet.org

The comment makes reference to the fact that Warren has headlined top-$$$ fundraisers in the past, including to raise the millions that she transferred to her presidential campaign. — PolitiTweet.org

Buttigieg responds to Warren on top-$$$ funders: "The thing about these purity tests is that people issuing can’t even meet them, right? If doing traditional fundraisers disqualifies you from running for president, then I guess neither of us would be here." (via @costareports) — PolitiTweet.org

Tulsi Gabbard remains skeptical on impeachment. "I have had concerns for a long time about impeachment being pursued for partisan reasons," she said. Later: "I am undecided on how I am going to vote." https://t.co/HpkR8srKP4 — PolitiTweet.org

@CahnEmily In some cases, yes. But that is also over simplifying her appeal to both Dems and lean Republicans. — PolitiTweet.org

A recurring theme in conversations with voters at Gabbard events in New Hampshire: Many voted for Trump in 2016, and some are saying they will vote for him again IF Gabbard isn't the Democratic nominee. — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Merica @merica

Gabbard has proven notably resilient in the Dem field. A key reason for that: Her unique candidacy centered on New Hampshire, where she is actively reaching out to a broad coalition of devout liberals, dismayed independents and questioning Republicans. https://t.co/ZbmvsOpZde — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Merica @merica

Voters asking ?s at Dem presidential campaign events don't often profess their love for Trump or privately weigh whether to support a Democrat or the President in 2020. But most Dem events are not like Tulsi Gabbard's town halls. From New Hampshire: https://t.co/ZbmvsOpZde — PolitiTweet.org

Cenk Uygur in 2013: “I believe that if I were the benevolent dictator of the world, I would legalize bestiality where you are giving ... you are pleasuring the animal.” Bernie Sanders endorsed Uygur on Thursday. w/ @ryanobles: https://t.co/ix7grwsPSk — PolitiTweet.org

"I am a former member of the military, I am mixed-race black and brown, I am a member of the LGBTQ community & our party should never, ever, tolerate racist or homophobic comments of any kind, period," said Will Rodriguez-Kennedy, the head of the the Sanders-backing CA Young Dems — PolitiTweet.org

.@Lis_Smith, Buttigieg spox, responds to Warren's comments in NH this AM: "Senator Warren's idea of how to defeat Donald Trump is to tell people who don’t support her that they are unwelcome in the fight and that those who disagree with her belong in the other party." — PolitiTweet.org

Loblaw spoxs: “We retained McKinsey in 2008 to better understand how we could lower prices for customers across a number of categories. ... That was the extent of their work with us during that time.” Asked if Buttigieg had any role in bread price fixing, the spox said, “No.” — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Merica @merica

Loblaws, the Canadian grocery store chain that was one of Buttigieg’s clients at McKinsey, said Wednesday that the would-be presidential candidate played no role in the grocer’s 14-year bread price-fixing scheme. For more on the bread price fixing: https://t.co/Fu2GXoC9zu — PolitiTweet.org
