No, he does. Just not as President. He would be excellent as a Secretary of something.

I have the feeling he may be positioning himself that exact way.

He needs to get through a couple of rounds and cut a deal...which is why hes being super nice to the others...

Bullock OUT

So, Elizabeth Warren seems to have misread the midterms.

Surprised she didn't wait until winning a few states before pivoting to Medicare For Those Who Want It.

On healthcare, she neither had a plan nor had a plan for not having a plan.

I think that's fair enough, it's for sure her Achilles heel.
She had to go hard left to pick up some of Bernies Progressives (like me :) ) and then pivot back to the center when she's mopped up as much progressives as she could.
It was never going to go well, she knew that.
But she's the smartest candidate in the pack, she'll have known her initial jump would subside but leave her in a steady position.
Look at her campaign style. She has only come out fighting when being attacked. She hasn't gone after anyone. The likes of Buttigieg and Biden will tear themselves apart.
For the most part, it's a calm, considered Campaign.

It'll be interesting to see if herself and Bernie will come to some sort of arangement before super Tuesday.
 
A shame that, yes her campaign fell away and yes she seemed to have signed up to the same establishment idiocy that resulted in 2016 but I still think she’d have the best chance of beating Trump.
yea, her history as a prosecutor doesn't seem to have stood to her.
Would love to have seen her take on trump in a debate. She'd have torn him a new one!

There was a story about her campaign recently which quoted fifty (!!!) inside sources.

Not usually a sign of effective leadership...

It isn't usually, and of course filling ones campaign with the sort of people who would do that whilst it was still running is itself a big no-no. She'd have been better running the campaign herself until she got momentum, and then once she had got more hangers-on thoroughly ignored everything they were saying.

On paper she seemed a formidable candidate but she never lived up to the potential in the flesh - reminded me a bit of Marco Rubio tbh.

She struggled to come up with a clear message of what her policy priorities were or a strategy to attract a particular set of primary voters. For someone with the history of politics she has it is bit embarrassing that a comparative neophyte like Buttigieg could run a better campaign.
