Kelli Harrison, 54, a political coordinator for the UAW who is undecided in the race, said later that “I kind of like my own insurance . . . and I don’t want to lose that, because who knows how they’ll roll it out.” She, like Biden, preferred working to improve the Affordable Care Act. “They worked so hard to get there. I don’t know if I want to say, ‘Let’s just throw it away and start with something else.’ I don’t think that’s realistic.

 

Exactly.

Members of the Press, WTF Indeed!

 

 

Warren really is doing everything right

There’s a misunderstanding-she and Bernie are not identical-far from it and their base of support is very different, her’s is much broader. What makes her a real threat is her potential to traverse HillaryWorld and BernieWorld-she’s that rare candidate who is acceptable to both Hillarybots and Bernie Bros-for different reasons; she is seen as ‘progressive enough’ for many Bernie supporters without throwing mud in the eye of the Dem establishment the way Bernie does-Warren is in some sense a major part of the establishment even as she demands structural change. And yes it does not at all hurt that she’s a woman-in terms of appealing to Hillary Clinton supporters-like me.

Bernie always runs against the Democratic party as much as he runs against Trump and the GOP-and has a tin ear on important remember when he dismissed Planned Parenthood as ‘the establishment?’ Even now he can’t get the notes right on structural racism.

But for women and African Americans the ‘establishment’ isn’t the enemy it’s there to protect them-they themselves form it.

Bernie also simply doesn’t adapt-always saying the same thing every time in exactly the same way. And give Warren credit-she’s been able to win over a lot of Democrats not part of her natural base-it all started with her call to #ImpeachtheMFer.

Forget ‘Lanes.’ The Democratic Primary Is A Whole Freaking Transit System.

While her policies are progressive she-unlike Bernie-is able to bring in much of the Dem establishment as well-she may yet prove to be the consensus pick of the disparate wings in the Democratic party.

Warren’s ability to ‘take a crisp stand and then resume message’ belies the zombie idea that Trump’s racism/impeachment/etc is a distraction just hunker down and talk about healthcare.
