"Warren better watch out" - a comment this morning

While discussing the "circular firing squad" of candidates going after Biden. It means, said the commentator - don't remember who - that once Warren reaches the top, it would be "her turn.'

And, of course, all the youngsters commenting on the old geezers all of a sudden will realize that Warren, too, is turning 70 next week.

We need to exude a front of unity which will attract other voters.

for the first half of the debate. O'Rourke and Booker are too self-effacing to attack Warren, and Klobuchar would have to risk losing the "Minnesota Nice" that is part of her branding. She also risks having more office staff stories come out of the woodwork if she gets cutting during the debate.

I wouldn't put it past a one-percenter to try to challenge Warren, they have only one chance to make a splash. Gabbard and de Blasio are the most likely in my opinion to try something like that. In any case, it will be Liz Warren swatting at flies.

whoever it was, telling her "she better watch out", I think they'd get a memorable answer.

I won't lie, I do take age into account when looking at candidates, and generally speaking, I prefer 45 to 59. But with Warren, I have ZERO concerns.
