@InternetKevin what a powerful way to undermine her own message that since SuperPACs give special interests leverage over candidates they should be abolished.

@tigzikk yes I used to be a Warren fan so pretty disappointing. I think she has had bad advisers and needs to drop out of the race.

@InternetKevin it's such a shame. Early in the season I liked her messaging. She is still one of the most articulate on the stage. Heck, her take down of Bloomberg during his first debate was masterful.

But the policy shifts are ceding ground to the right before even reaching the negotiation table. The unfounded accusations don't look good. And now this capitulation of a core campaign principle... Instead of looking pragmatic it looks disingenuous.

@tigzikk Yes. Up until when AOC and other Justice Democrats endorsed Bernie, Warren had looked like the strongest candidate. Then people who were trying to decide between Warren and Bernie started moving to Bernie.

Then the media narrative shifted to "Is X too left?" and Warren started moving to the centre and becoming more and more like ever other politician. It's a vote losing strategy, that's why I think she had bad advice.

@tigzikk And at this point the only way for her to win the nomination is if Bernie has another heart attack. Which, I hope, is a very unlikely event.
