Whats the consensus here on whether this incident is good or bad for Warren's campaign?
― anvil, Thursday, 16 January 2020 18:18 (four years ago) link
Well, it’s Nate Silver but...
In our poll, Warren's numbers on electability improved last night. Guess who else's improved the most? Klobuchar. So getting that discussion out in the open may well have been helpful to her vs. voters holding an implicit bias against women candidates. https://t.co/OmPf5KSeuO— Nate Silver (@NateSilver538) January 15, 2020
― JoeStork, Thursday, 16 January 2020 18:23 (four years ago) link
Klobuchar is still running? kudos.
If Warren gains any from this, can only really see it from Mayor Pete voters not Bernie voters, unless I'm reading it wrong?

Bernie wouldn’t answer questions about the ~ moment ~ just now walking into the Senate, only about USMCA.He shot me a look after I asked him if he was a liar, but stayed quiet and went into an elevator.— Igor Bobic (@igorbobic) January 16, 2020

apparently MSNBC had a "body language expert" on a few hours back to "prove" Bernie was lying. Very cool!

the NYT itself ran a story last year about how Sanders worked closely w/ Harry Reid on "practical" political matters
ie they are now lying to protect the threat to their profits

I know this won't be a popular thing to say, but hear me out. It seems reasonable to assert that Bernie may be less willing to compromise than some other candidates in order to get things done. Case in point: he refuses to back the USMCA trade agreement, one of the few compromises worked about between Republicans and Democrats in this Congress, despite saying it was an improvement on the existing deal. Even Warren was willing to back it. Now that may just be one data point and I'm sure a case could be made that he's right do so, but it's suggestive of an approach that differs a bit from other candidates.
― o. nate, Monday, 20 January 2020 17:13 (four years ago) link
I think it's fair to say his view is different from other candidates on a lot of things. That said, I'm all for not backing "major" trade agreements that don't even mention climate change, let alone take steps to tackle it.
― bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Monday, 20 January 2020 17:15 (four years ago) link
I think the difference between Bernie and others in congress known as negotiators/compromisers is that he has specific political goals and standards that he wouldn't compromise
I feel like a lot of the dealing done (especially in the Clinton era) came down to "well, we got rid of all that rancid bathwater, and we even kept half the baby!"

Actually, I think Ezra Klein pointed out that Warren was much less flexible than Sanders in congress before 2016.
― Frederik B, Monday, 20 January 2020 17:44 (four years ago) link
love the centrist trope “getting things done in Congress” is a good thing absent any moral context.

Mr. Sanders would be 79 when he assumed office, and after an October heart attack, his health is a serious concern. Then, there’s how Mr. Sanders approaches politics. He boasts that compromise is anathema to him. Only his prescriptions can be the right ones, even though most are overly rigid, untested and divisive. He promises that once in office, a groundswell of support will emerge to push through his agenda. Three years into the Trump administration, we see little advantage to exchanging one over-promising, divisive figure in Washington for another.
OVERLY RIGID, UNTESTED AND DIVISIVE
― pomenitul, Monday, 20 January 2020 19:02 (four years ago) link
Kind of looking at Trump and Biden and being like, yeah, it’s Bernie’s health that’s the issue
