      Still a pretty odd thing to hear shots being fired at Warren from a Sanders stage. Do Sanders supporters prefer a candidate who stirs up shit among his most progressive colleagues to one focused on seeing those progressive policies advanced? I mean, yeah! Take that Liz Warren!

      Right now, the most gettable voters for Bernie are not Warren supporters but Biden supporters. By far. So focusing on Warren makes no political sense.

      It was an offhand comment, one line, in a throwaway stump speech at an ice cream social in Iowa. Probably not the right move given the predictable way the media has exploded over it but hardly "focusing."

      Right -- it was a misstep (and one that is easily exploitable by people opposed to both Sanders & Warren). When there is a misstep best to move on rather than double down and make it even bigger. The impulse to defend every misstep is also a political mistake.

          We're not doubling down on it, just pointing out that this stuff is completely wrong. Sarandon didn't "attack" Warren in some real or serious way, and Warren was a Republican until she was 47, not "19."

          From what I've observed this particular issue (Warren's time in the GOP) isn't being amplified by anyone in the Sanders campaign but rather by CAP/ShareBlue/etc. I haven't seen much reaction from the Sanders camp to that line of attack

          Yeah it was an offhand comment by Susan - that they all lost their shit because they absolutely hate her with the burning passion of a million dying stars. But what normal person is going to hear that line and think it was horribly offensive or even mildly rude?

          How was it a misstep? It got a bunch of freaks to scream at her on twitter but what difference does that make to the electorate? I don't think most of them care at all. And, Susan has been capitalizing on the hate she's been getting.https://twitter.com/delmoi/status/1164546226915880960 …
