"transition a quarter of this economy in a heartbeat." Yeah, right.Like I said before, I'm not a diehard Bernie guy, but I don't think he's a bad guy nor do I think that he has a nefarious motive and don't believe he or his supporters deserve the hate being thrown their way.
A three year plan that allows the privileged to keep their plan while people play politics just isn't resonating with people in desperate situations (Even though it will take just as long if Bernie ever gets his bill passed).
Unfortunately I don't think that Warren is as tapped into their sense of urgency as old Bernie is, and that little stunt she pulled with the "he said a woman can't win", that no one else heard, just shows that she is too far removed from the reality of the people she needs as supporters if she's gonna win.
I think if it was Warren vs Hillary, she would have easily walked away with it. Perhaps it's a question of timing, because 3 years of Trump has made peoples situations much more dire. I think she made a mistake by stepping out of the way for Hillary's ambitions.
