In reply to the discussion: Why Buttigieg and Warren are surging [View all]ecstatic
(32,653 posts)42. Warren is surging because she's not holding back
from fear of what anyone else will say. She's LEADING and others are following on all the important issues, such as impeachment, the electoral college, etc. That's refreshing.
Pete is surging because he's smart, but more importantly, he's an excellent communicator.
For the others to catch up, it's crucial that they stop holding back. Let it all hang out! For example, Kamala Harris has been criticized for saying 1 thing to 1 audience then being more cautious in front of another audience (on the topics of weed, reparations, etc). I get why she might do that, but that's simply not going to work in 2020. Say what you mean, mean what you say, and let the chips fall where they may.
