The Latest: Warren campaign memo details rivals’ weaknesses
The Associated Press ^ | February 11, 2020

Posted on 02/11/2020 1:25:14 PM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

Elizabeth Warren’s campaign is arguing that her top rivals have flaws that will be exposed over time in the Democratic presidential primary and that their White House bids aren’t built for the long haul like hers is.

A lengthy memo from Warren campaign manager Roger Lau, obtained Tuesday, draws the sharpest contrasts yet between the Massachusetts senator and her rivals, something the candidate has mostly refrained from doing personally.

It suggests Bernie Sanders, the race’s other strong progressive, has a “ceiling” for support, while former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign could soon collapse. It argues that Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, won’t be able to win states that are more diverse and vote later in the year.

Warren finished third in Iowa and isn’t expected to win Tuesday’s primary in New Hampshire, even though it borders her home state.

Her campaign says it has staffers in 30-plus states and is built for a long, possibly protracted race. Lau’s memo seeks to reassure supporters that she will make it that far.

If Poca-honkey is still viable after Super Tuesday, then we’ll talk. For now, she and Slow Joe are nothing but a couple old war horses who set a fast pace at the start but are fading as the race continues.

They all are weak. People are just haggling over which one of them is the least weakest to face Trump

Her role is to get 10-15% and keep Bernie from winning. The DNC will make it worth her while.

.....Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, won’t be able to win states that are more diverse and vote later in the year.....

The REAL issue is that the Presidency is WAY, WAY out of Buttigieg’s league!!!! Heck, he was a lousy mayor to start with!!

As for Warren, she is too shrill to be President, and is a lousy Senator to boot!!!!

Yes, being a lousy mayor of the 308th largest city in the country is not good preparation for being President. What Buttigieg has going for him is that he is glib and can sound smart answering a question without actually answering the question. His being gay will help him in some precincts and hurt him in more...and I don't think they can keep that a secret especially if his "husband" appears with him at events.

His big weakness is said to be in the black vote. So maybe he can fix that by picking Stacey Abrams as his running mate.

Incompetent ex-mayor and sore loser who almost won a governor's race. That should wow the country.

And how long will the campaign staff hang in there knowing she's dead meat? They won't last long. They'll jump ship to the perceived front runner. Lying Liz won't be around long.

Warren’s staffer is correct.

Warren is the perfect cold-blooded lying sociopath—which makes her the best qualified to be the Demonrat Party nominee. For those who haven’t seen her original “Half Delaware, half Cherokee” ad, it is here:

Every voter needs to see this video of the squaw speaking with forked tongue.

“It argues that Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, won’t be able to win states that are more diverse and vote later in the year. “

Is that saying those “more diverse” folks shirk their duties and/or are homophobic - and her “I’ll get advice from Trannies” spiel will resonate?

Until the nomination is finally made, she won't drop out, and even then, she'll never admit that she's dropped out -- even if/when she endorses the nominee -- it fits her pathology.
