People just don’t like women.
To say warren who has more energy and is more active with people marching and dancing in parades is “less likeable” than Hillary who was awesome imo but all business and just say and listened and came up with solutions. Is just ridiculous.
I get the feeling people who say Warren is 'offputting' actually haven't listened to her speak for any extended period of time. I genuinely can't recall a male candidate getting this much scrutiny over likeability or even their policies.
But of course you can't suggest that people have a double standard regarding female candidates because either you're "playing the sexism card" or they reply with some variant of "I'm not a sexist because I voted for X candidate previously".

Given the Sanders camp apparently doesn't understand how caucuses work, I'd take their opinion with a grain of salt.
Y'all have made that abundantly clear by insisting the DNC is responsible for Iowa.

Https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/st...736620544?s=19Relatedly, although he made a lot of gains there before Iowa, Sanders's polling is pretty flat in NH *since* Iowa. More consistent with what you'd expect from what is perceived as a 2nd-place finish in Iowa rather than a tie or win.
I'm curious if any polling has been conducted on undecided Democrat voters as to which candidates they aren't considering. Could very well be the case that Bernie hit his ceiling among the undecideds.
Again, flat polling with universal name recognition tends to indicate that people know who you are, but still don't like you.

"It's icky, my book tells me its bad!" Get over it.

Their nominee almost has to be Bernie at this point. If not, it will alienate too large a chunk of the voting bloc for the Dems. I don't know if he can beat Trump but he has the best chance at turnout.
Biden....is just old news at this point. Warren isn't charismatic enough and Pete has issues with the black vote, as mentioned. Who's really left?
Your nose is growing, Pinocchio.
Yep. Because it's not based on any actual data and is verbatim what is being circulated in right wing media circles as we speak, lol.but do you disagree with my statement?
Do you honestly think because y'all only watch one news source that we don't keep tabs what you watch or read on Fox/Breitbart/etc.? Christ and Allah, rofl.

Not only that, but rather than a queer-coded straight villain that gets no homo'd, we get a straight-coded queer villain that gets no hetero'd.
If you'd pitched this to me as an idea for a script back in 2009, I would have called the social commentary a little too on the nose.

Is it just me that always forgets that Klobuchar is even there?
Sadly the trouble is also that, even when people don't have an issue with a candidate being gay then there's still a lot of bullshit stereotypes that he has to be fighting against. He's young and with a baby-face so that will just add to it.
