The RNC, corporate greed and the wealthy in this country are scared shitless of EW. So expect to see more of that garbage. I mean what if they had to pay their fair share? Time to hit her with some extra filthy lies and shit.
Apparently Bernie's campaign has pulled some big ad buys.
Warren is definitely the inadvertent beneficiary of recent events between Bernie's health scare and the attack on Bidens.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren said she has raised $24.6 million for her presidential campaign from July through September, her best quarter to date and a little shy of the $25.3 million that Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont took in during the same period.
I'm curious when some of the bottom folks might decide to drop out. I guess some could hang on until South Carolina but that seems like throwing good money after bad.
“With sorrow—for this Court, but more, for the many millions of American women who have today lost a fundamental constitutional protection—we dissent,”
I think Bernie will eventually bail. If he was in the lead I wouldn’t think that. Dude had a heart attack. Traveling and campaigning even with a small break is gonna take its toll.

I think so too, but then we'll be getting, for the next year+, "well BERNIE would be the nominee/be better than Warren if only he had been allowed to keep running because conspiracy."

I hope Bernie will take this opportunity to bow out gracefully. He won't, but a girl can dream.
He has already stated that he is slowing down campaign appearances. I don't know how close he was to his DIL but i would also think losing a family member like that also takes a toll. I don't wish ill will on Bernie, but hope he takes a step back and thinks about his health and whether this is all worth it.
I checked RCP and it is the most recent poll that pushed her over.
Biden needs to told on to SC where he is way a head of the pack. If his support cracks there then he's gone. Iowa is slipping away and NH is shaky at best. I would expect Warren to work Iowa/NH/Nevada hard in the next few months. Once those 4 states are done we'll probably have 5-6 viable candidates and hopefully the undecideds + 1% supporters will coalesce around someone in the top and we'll have a nominee fairly early on for the party to support.

I heard on Vermont Public Radio this morning his campaign manager saying that he will be using his heart attack as a way to further his MFA agenda.

Looking at how the candidates are really starting to drift apart, it looks like support is solidifying. Warren is the only one who has had a steady increase over the past year. And when you look at the polls it's hard to justify the vast majority of the candidates still being in the race, even some who are making the debates. Amy Klobuchar had less than 3% in that Quinnipiac poll. Beto is around the same. Even my love, Julian Castro, is sitting sadly at 1%. BOTH Warren and Biden EACH have over 1/4 of all Dem voters supporting them. Even Buttigieg, Harris, and Sanders are slipping down and seem unlikely to make a big comeback at this point, barring surprises in the early states. They could certainly justify staying in until Super Tuesday at this point, especially from a policy perspective, but I can't really see anything going down except a Biden/Warren showdown for the actual nomination, and when or if that needs to happen might also depend a lot on the impeachment thing, which Biden's team has not been great in addressing.

I'm going to say that there is a 1% or less chance of any of the <=1% getting the nom. I am not sure why some folks are hanging on since they are not getting any traction. (Delaney I am looking at you here)
I think some folks in the unlikely but possible space are staying in for 3 reasons 1: If someone at the top implodes they may catch their collation (e.g. Biden -> Klobuchar/Harris) others are probably aiming for VP/Cabinet role (Castro, Booker maybe Beto thought I don't see a Warren/Beto ticket working). 3. Vanity
Overall the race is pretty fluid still and I think we're like to end up with Warren/Sanders/Biden but it isn't a done deal yet. The electorate is unusually engaged in the election at this point relative to prior elections. That may mean that polling isn't properly weighting the samples relative to the final primary audience. We also have the mess of Iowa's caucus plan making things murky there too.

I want the cadre of interchangeable white men to GTFO, and take Tulsi, Marianne, and Yang with them.
We need diverse voices like Booker and Castro’s. Castro is drawing attention to things that are happening daily that most don’t notice, like his visit to the border this week. We need courage like Beto, even though he’s a white dude, he’s speaking powerfully in ways that people are not used to hearing from white men.
And we need Sanders to GTFO. Biden too, though I don’t think either will.
I wish Kamala were doing better. I really love her, and I’m pissed at the people who don’t deserve to be on this conversation (see, permanent mood re 2016.)

I think so too, but then we'll be getting, for the next year+, "well BERNIE would be the nominee/be better than Warren if only he had been allowed to keep running because conspiracy."
Oh man, if it hasn't started already I bet people are going to accuse Warren of somehow giving him a heart attack.

They’re very busy right now accusing her of being a liar about how/why she left her teaching job.
