The runaway winner was Warren.

Bloomberg turned in a horrifically bad debate performance.

The Bernie vetting began. He punched back but some still landed.

Biden was sort of washed out.

Not clear if Pete and Amy's squabbling helps either.
All of the candidates should have been asked, and should have pivoted to, more specifics about beating/undoing Trump
To summarize how bad Bloomberg was. He looked bored and unprepared. Warren torched him on women/NDAs. He Everyone torched him on S&F, seemed unprepared. And he didn't even raise the GOOD things about him, guns and climate, except a pragmatic fracking point that...wrong room dude
But if I was Trump the debater I'd fear most is Warren. When she's on her game she's surgical.
When Bloomberg did punch back, mostly at Sanders, it didn't really land a blow and reinforced everything people don't like about him.

What did Bloomberg do or not do to fix the NYC subway? Honestly asking.
Yes, it is not within the power of the Mayor alone to fix. Still Bloomberg leverages his soft power in myriad issues, what about this one?
I left NYC a few months into Bloomberg’s first term. Supposedly fixing the PA, emergency exits and signage was a huge priority. Fast forward 18 years, 12 of which he was mayor, and it is pretty much the same or worse. So...what is he culpable for?

Warrior wonk works tho
I agree that Warren lost her footing until last night, but don’t agree that she must choose between these traits. It’s the combo that is her particular appeal! It’s not just macho. And it’s not just smartie-pants. It is the ability to meld both qualities.
And it is a form of female leadership that is everywhere out there in the world, she reflects back that reality.

.@npr is, for the second day in a row, trotting our defenders of Bill Barr. No interviews with the 2,000+ DOJ alumni calling for his resignation.
In general the device that @MorningEdition and TV networks overuse: “hey people say this is bad, what do you, person who supports the bad thing say in its defense have to say...ok, have a nice day” is not how journalism should be practiced
But when 2,000 DOJ alumni are demanding the AG’s reseignation, when scores of federal judges are meeting to rally around how to protect the notion of impartial justice...maybe you should err on the side of hearing that side at length.

Last model before the Iowa Caucus tonight. Bernie's closed the gap with Biden to just 4.2% (~Margin of Error on most polls)

I also have a prelim Caucus first vote estimate of:
Bernie 27.1, Biden 19.1, Pete 16.5, Warren 14.7, Klob 9, Yang 3.6
This will get more updates today Image
Bernie continues to expand basically all his coalition in equal proportions, maintaining a cohort that's the most diverse in the field at 51.3% white support. Biden is next with 52.5%, followed by Bloomberg with 64.1% white, Warren with 66.15%, and Pete with 82.1% ImageImageImageImage
Bernie continues to consolidate the youth vote, with a coalition that's 82.1% under 50 (56% under 35!). Warren is next youngest with 64.3% under 50, followed by Pete with 49%, Biden with 47.5%, and Bloomberg with 43.8% ImageImageImageImage

Gonna do a #Bernie2020 #thread, but I want to preface this by shooting down the "Not a Real Democrat" argument - the Democratic and Republican parties are hemorrhaging supporters like crazy right now, the only "real" anythings right now support the status quo that got us here.
But, this trend isn't recent, let's zoom out… Wow, look at that giant drop in "Real Democrats" after Carter, when the New Deal Democrats had been soundly defeated, first by the DNC itself at the 1968 national convention - then the '72 rule changes - and Carter's poor performance
What happened in '68? Why, the DNC decided that it knew better than 80% of Democratic voters and the delegates chose Humphrey - and the Anti-War protestors didn't like the pro-War candidate that they wouldn't vote for, and The Establishment didn't like that, man

Elizabeth #Warren has just proven she cannot unify the Democratic party.

For those not aware, she attacked Senator #Sanders directly today by reviving smears from the 2016 primary and recast herself in the performative victim role of Hillary Clinton that we all found so

(1/16)
very endearing. This is the first time either Warren or Sanders attacked each other directly and given the desperation one might expect with her declining numbers, it was Warren who launched the grenade. She used an unverified and heavily disputed report of a lower level
(2/16)
volunteer canvassing script that distinguished her GE electoral coalition as "affluent and highly educated" to claim that Bernie was sending volunteers to "trash" her. Quite a stretch. She then launched into a nervously delivered pathetic 2-minute long monologue

I have a few things to say about this piece that just dropped...

Why the #Bernie Movement Must Crush #BetoORourke
nymag.com/intelligencer/…
The insistence by white male writers that there is a two-white-man race out there between Bernie & Beto is so deeply, stunningly misogynist, it takes my breath away.

How is it POSSIBLE that these folks missed the blue wave which was fundamentally female--driven by women voters?
Not just driven by women voters, but driven by women candidates. Left-leaning women candidates, including WOC who ousted long-time older white male incumbents like....Bernie Sanders.

How is anyone missing this fact?
It's a major reason why Sanders' numbers have plummeted.
