    Obvious Troll is obvious.

    Yeah, because they’re excuse-makers. She’s enjoyed all kinds of warm fuzzy coverage.

    Opinion | The Media Unfair to Warren? Think Again.

    I read this article recently:

    Elizabeth Warren Has Won Black Activists. She’s Losing the Black Vote.

    Don Calloway, a Democratic strategist specializing in field operations with black voters, said Ms. Warren’s problems winning them over threatened the viability of her campaign moving forward but should also serve as a cautionary tale: The progressive activists who have showered her candidacy with validation have a different electoral lens than the black electorate at large.

    That schism is a distinction some have labeled “grass tops vs. the grass roots” — or the belief that the leaders of liberal and progressive organizations have a different political lens than their more working-class members.

    Ms. Warren “did a great job of galvanizing internet-savvy, well-known personalities, but unfortunately it doesn’t look like that support has translated into populations on the ground,” Mr. Calloway said.

    Oh cool. You found a Politico opinion piece. I’m convinced

    From CJR:

    The one way Sanders is the new Trump

    From WaPo:

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/life...55cc12-4d9c-11ea-bf44-f5043eb3918a_story.html

    The subtext behind much of the disdain is partly a deep-seated sentiment that Sanders, if nominated, has little chance of winning the general election. But it’s also partly — and more insidiously — that many journalists don’t identify easily with Sanders in the same way they do with, say, Warren or O’Rourke or Buttigieg.”

    From 538 back in October:

    Is There A Problem With How The Media Covers Elizabeth Warren?

    For the past several months, I think Warren’s gotten the most friendly stretch of media coverage of any presidential candidate since Barack Obama in 2008.

    I'm curious if anyone has changed their vote in the last week or so. It is an option on the poll.

    Was going to change it to Warren, but didn't want to be an Indian giver toward Tulsi (aka "* Other").

    Still gave my bubble to Mayor Pete (that may read dirty but I'm talking about my ballot) but if Cali was voting next month rather than Tuesday, I might switch to Biden. I'm curious who Pete's delegates will go to when he bows out, hopefully Biden. I'll vote for any Dem over Trump but I really don't want it to be Sanders.
