I'm in a few largish progressive facebook groups

many of the warren supporters are sticking with warren.
Sanders supporters are also annoying warren supporters with their various insults and abuses of Warren.
A minority of Warren supporters would move to Sanders.

I would really like her to close the gap, and then see a debate with her, Biden, and Sanders. That would be a sight to see.

Voters are far more comfortable with Joe than with Bernie, and we need to win in November more than anything else like philosophical purity.

All the snake references in the past haven't helped either.

Earlier I'd hoped the progressives could quickly coalesce behind one of the two. I'm not so sure anymore.

The warren package has so much more to offer: like plans, successes, intellect, action, like even today she has a plan for the federal government TODAY not after she wins an election.

Sanders has a plan...you know what? he had a plan in 2016...how much of that plan did he accomplish in his main job in the US government? 0%

But Biden will be my selection, if/when she pulls out.

I give 50-75% chance of that happening by Thursday, and that she states that she will back "the real Democrat"

I am with Elizabeth until she is no longer in the race!
