I wouldn't consider a 78 year old man having a heart attack a "non-severe medical issue."Even he admitted that he'll be taking it easier for the rest of the campaign. Obviously I have my biases, but his polling has been stagnant for awhile now, and the fact that he had the health scare and is slowing down his campaign doesn't help his prospects of winning. I'm not surprised that progressive voters would be looking for other options, especially when Warren gaining momentum as a very progressive candidate.

I consider it non-severe because Bernie doesn't have a history of Heart Disease and from the info he explained about the situation it was a minor heart attack. And the taking it easier, true but not in the way you think. Bernie was holding 4 or 5 rallies in 2 different states each day so far and now won't be able to campaign that much. And after the health scare Bernie's had a surge of support. Nat's the only one looking for other options.

Lol, you should do press for the Bernie campaign.

And you demote Bernie to 3rd? Why? If he and Yang just switched spots I'd get it, but how is Warren better than Bernie? I've stated this before, but my main concern right now is stopping Biden. I am a Socialist, but I am also rather pragmatic. Warren might not be the most Left wing candidate, but she is certainly not a Centrist. I get why a lot of people have issues with her, but face it; At this point it's either four more years of the worst President of the last 100 years or four years of Bernie Lite. I'll take the person who wants to add more protections for LGBTQ+ individuals (which is the biggest issue to me) rather than the one who wants to take them away. Going from a Democratic Socialist to a more Libertarian human centered Capitalist. https://twitter.com/NatalieFaucett/status/1172552210195992577 In all seriousness though, there are a lot of Progressives who support Yang, at least from what I've seen. It's amazing that Tulsi has united both the Right and Left against her while Yang has united the Right and Left. Have you listened to any of Yang's interviews? His one with Ben Shapiro, for example. While I absolutely hate Shapiro, that interview was what really got me on board with Yang. I felt like he was directly speaking to me at a point. He said something like "If someone in a rural city in Missouri was getting $1k a month, what would they do? Maybe go out and open a bakery..." I live in a rural city in Missouri and if I were getting $1k a month, I would open a bakery. Seriously. So if the Dems want a candidate who can speak to rural America in 2020, Yang is that candidate.

Beto: $4.5 million.

Cause Biden has so much support out there. His "support" in the polls isn't real support. Poll the active base and Biden's around 3rd. Biden keeps failing at the debates, the establishment is the only people actively supporting Biden. Biden's not really a threat in the grand scheme of the election. Warren not being the most Left wing candidate is an understatement. She has offered so many half measures and wavered on a lot of things throughout the campaign, there's only one Major Left-Wing option in the race. Besides aren't you supporting Yang, why talk this much about Warren? In all seriousness though, there are a lot of Progressives who support Yang, at least from what I've seen.

And Bernie wouldn't? Last time Bernie lost Missouri by a very small margin, the momentum just didn't go away between elections. And I've seen his interview where he explained how his UBI plan would be the Libertarian version where not apply to people on any other social programs and anyone on them would be forced to choose that or the greater amount they'd get in social programs. Compare that to Bernies Federal Jobs Guarantee. Under his FJG, people would earn $15, the average time a day people work is 8.4 Hours, Usually from Monday to Friday (5 Days), and the average months have about 5 weeks. 8.4×5×5=$3150/month $3150 + the money from the social programs they get to KEEP while they need it>$1000

- In all honesty, AOC's endorsement of Bernie is a game changer for me. I'm back on team Bernie. I honestly thought she was going to stay out of it, but this endorsement has given me a renewed hope and optimism in what I had thought lately was a dying campaign. I think he'll be regaining his lost momentum in the coming weeks

Whoa. Beto's out. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/01/us/politics/beto-orourke-drops-out.html

I still think Beto had the potential to be a great candidate. If he had announced early, made more media appearances, and kept up the momentum, he could probably still be in the race. But he waited a little late to jump in and just failed to capitalize while Buttigieg took his place as the young, dark horse candidate. It's been kinda sad to see his campaign ending early after watching his rise up close, from the Senate campaign to opening up his presidential campaign with a magazine cover story and raising around $6 million in 24 hours.

Be more predictable, E.

Be more predictable, E. It's obvious, Left candidates aren't scrambling to jump in last minute

Ugh. The Reuters/Ipsos poll did a split sample, one with Bloomberg and one without. I added the one that includes him.

I get serious Romney 2012 feels from Biden. Everyone gets their spot in the sun (Beto, Kamala, Warren, Bernie), but ultimately, the boring old northeastern moderate emerges.

Biden's trajectory is still consistently downward and that will get much worse after he loses Iowa and New Hampshire badly.

I get serious Romney 2012 feels from Biden. Everyone gets their spot in the sun (Beto, Kamala, Warren, Bernie), but ultimately, the boring old northeastern moderate emerges. And the nomination of that northeastern moderate over more populist candidates will cost that party to lose

Yeah, Rick Santorum would have done so much better 🙄 I'm more referring to Ron Paul or maybe Gary Johnson

In response to CA Pol Junkie, Biden is still favored to win in states like Virginia, Texas, North Carolina, Arizona, Florida, Ohio, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and South Carolina. Even if he loses in IA and NH, he still has a pretty good shot. There's only 193 delegates in the early states and 1,623 delegates on Super Tuesday. Way too early.
