      Warren's case for growing social welfare is very storytelling-focused: "Your neighbor who has a home health aid who comes by, and is able to stay in her home – that’s Medicaid. Your friend whose child has issues with mental illness – that’s Medicaid."

      First mention of Trump, 42 minutes into event: A woman who came to Iowa as a refugee asks how Warren would reverse Trump's resettlement/asylum policies.

          I wonder if the winning candidate can just pass one big sweeping bill reversing all of the current changes just to save time and get in forward motion again.I hope that’s possible.

          They’d only be able to easily reverse EO’s. That’s why Obama’s legacy was so easily reversible. Otherwise they’d have to work with the GOP, which in a the case this happens, might not be impossible.

          I remain solid in my belief that if the democratic primary involved ranked choice voting that Elizabeth Warren would win. I think her undoing is that she would be the 2nd choice of a large portion of Democrats who are committed to some other candidate like Sanders, or Harris.

          But why? It's like all of a sudden the left has to pivot super dramatically to far left to counter what has happened on the right....but I dont think that base is that big

          You don't need a large base. You just need to have a message that garners votes. "Far-left" policies like universal healthcare and higher min wage poll high among all voting groups.

          What did she say? Will anyone in media tackle any Democrat on how they differ from open borders? Any amnesty is an incentive to more illegal migration.
