It's always useful to know what a campaign is like, the lay of the land, so to speak, the supporters, the campaign operation, the candidate herself.
Here in San Diego, Elizabeth Warren paid a visit Thursday, so I went, taking my elderly mother, blending into the crowd to learn how things looked from the Democrat side.
The most obvious takeaway is that Warren is rising... Based on her own energetic appearance and stump speech, she's now begun campaigning as if she's got the Democratic nomination in the bag, and she's now attempting to move to the center.
That signals a swift campaign response to the de facto collapses of her Democratic rivals, which seem to be happening. Joe Biden is imploding over the massive corruption of his family political machine. Bernie Sanders is effectively out based on his age-related medical issues. Kamala Harris has been a goner ever since Rep. Tulsi Gabbard excoriated her in the second Democratic debate over her appalling record as a prosecutor. The rest are pipsqueaks. Neither Warren nor her campaign operatives mentioned any of that, but her San Diego stop showed pretty clearly that the Democrats are consolidating, and Warren is attempting to move toward the center as Trump's likeliest opponent.
All the same, she still has some weaknesses, and it's doubtful she can beat him.

Warren is attempting to move toward the center
Lieawatha is all the communists have....unless that evil witch, PIAPS, comes flying in our her broom. Or they convince “Big Mike” that he/she/it needs to run. Trump will trounce Lieawatha otherwise.
Hillary, check out the smoke signals!
The Squad may be as big an obstacle as Trump in that regard.
Couldn’t get Hillary over the line. Substitute Warren. Rats never learn.
The People have figured out this “Move to the Center” ploy
Triangulation died with Hillary.
Did she embrace the gun confiscation mantra? If so, done.
It’s exactly how I called it a few months ago: Fauxcahontas. Then again, my spidey-sense kept saying Hitlery or Big Mike will show up next year..
No democrat running will get more than 15 states best case. Pocahontas will be lucky if she manages 10
Her-onimo is two Clintons in one.
A shrieking angry crone who hires male prostitutes.
She can bring all of the Clinton picadillos together in one person.
Ms. Showalter, the author, didn't mention it.
Funny, but of all the Rat candidates running for president, if Trump won’t get a 2nd term for whatever reason, I would actually prefer Warren gets the nod.
Squaw Spitting Bull have no ink papers from white man.
Squaw Spitting Bull speak with knife tongue....no fire in her water.
Squaw Spitting Bull be burnum at stake by Great White Spirit of Republic.

Elder abuse is Illegal, even in CA.:)
“Move to the center?” Pffft. We know damned well, if she’s elected, will go FULL commie.
Smart article.
Smart article.
She and Bernie had the majority of energy among the progressive base of the Democrat primary voters. With Bernie’s health issues, she will pick up some of his support among younger voters. Older voters might gravitate to Biden.
I think Warren would be a formidable general election candidate, because of the enthusiasm among the base. An enthusiastic base volunteers. That is what doomed Hillary. There was no enthusiasm among Democrats for her.
The best thing that could happen is a bruising battle between Warren and Biden, and a weakened Biden emerging as the nominee, along with Tulsi Gabbard running on the Green Party ticket.
