We may finally get a Democrat debate tonight that isn't deathly boring for a change. Elizabeth Warren, facing declining poll numbers, is attacking Bernie Sanders with the claim that in a private meeting 13 months ago, he told her that a woman could not win the presidency. M.J Lee of CNN broke the story yesterday:
The stakes were high when Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren met at Warren's apartment in Washington, DC, one evening in December 2018. The longtime friends knew that they could soon be running against each other for president.
The two agreed that if they ultimately faced each other as presidential candidates, they should remain civil and avoid attacking one another, so as not to hurt the progressive movement. They also discussed how to best take on President Donald Trump, and Warren laid out two main reasons she believed she would be a strong candidate: She could make a robust argument about the economy and earn broad support from female voters.
Sanders responded that he did not believe a woman could win.
The description of that meeting is based on the accounts of four people: two people Warren spoke with directly soon after the encounter, and two people familiar with the meeting.
What does "people familiar with the meeting" even mean? Those four people amount to thin sourcing, particularly given Warren's habit of lying when it serves to advance her career interest, as with her claim to Native American status and her plagiarized recipe for the book Pow Wow Chow, ostensibly a collection of Native American recipes.
Bernie's campaign is vigorously disputing the claim:

There’s not enough room in the US for both their egos.
Maybe the commies will slay each other opening the race up to one of the other sixteen dwarves...and I am not talking about their physical statures.
Perfect:
The Bern is accused of something without proof; and as all democrates know; you can not challenge the word of a woman.
Virtue signaling convinces the left of its own unimpeachable morals. When push comes to shove, it rejects guilt for any of its wrongdoing and attributes such allegations to conspiracy theories.
Peter Daou, a Democratic strategist and former advisor to Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, tweeted on Monday that Ford will be "attacked, smeared, and demonized" and that people must "BELIEVE WOMEN."
Haven't heard much from the entertainment industry nitwits since the Golden Globes takedown. What happened to all those 'new voices' from the metoo and timesup crowd?
It would be a terrible thing if Lizzie tried to scratch Bernie’s eyes out on live TV tonight, but I will stock up on popcorn just in case.
I don’t believe Warren.
This won’t even come up in the debate. The candidates and the media are not about to publicly expose a rift in the Democrat party. It will divert them from their primary purpose.
Oh yeah? Well, last year, I overheard someone in the grocery store tell someone else that when they were in line for the bus, they heard someone say that Elizabeth Warren said (back in 1992) that she didn’t think a gay dwarf could win the White House. So there!
When lefties get desperate they start showing their true colors by throwing feces!
Nothing like a little Stalin vs. Trotsky to liven things up.
