If Warren ran instead of Sanders

[Bull Moose Base]

I'm not sure she'd be doing as well as he is, which is surprising. I think the fact that Bernie openly identifies as a socialist and doesn't run away from it pours gasoline on the fire of his base, the highly educated white progressives that have a major online presence. However, Bernie also appeals to the rebellious Ron Paul crowd (notice that whatever excitement/online following/comment spam crew Rand Paul had has fizzled out since Sanders has gained momentum.) Warren would be "just another liberal" to this crowd.

Worst meme.

The idea of Ron Paul supporters who were a mix of Paleoconservatives and Libertarians. liking bernie sanders is mainly based on a misunderstanding that they were attracted to Ron Paul only mainly because of non-interventionism when Ron Paul had a strong pull from ultra-free market believers. Of which i doubt bernie is getting support from.

Ron Paul received a great deal of support from Libertarians, but I can attest being a socialist who changed my registration to Republican to vote for Ron Paul in the primaries, because Ron Paul (a much better person and campaigner than his son, by the way) was the only mainstream candidate who was speaking out against policing the world. Ultimately, I ended up voting for Romney because I liked the man, and also as a protest vote against Obama.

You're a socialist whose big issue is less military intervention and you voted for Romney?

I really wish Manchin would run. He'd have my vote.

I think some of you are underestimating the extent to which the "first woman president" thing helps Clinton.  Warren would neutralize that, and still be able to draw support from the party's left that Sanders is currently getting.  Not saying she'd win, but do better than Sanders?  Yes, absolutely.

I think people tend to underestimate that when it comes to the general election, too.

It's weird that Hillary being a woman was a major news story every day in 2008, but hardly anyone is mentioning it now.

There are certainly a lot of people in the Democratic party who will vote for a non white male with sh**tty views over a white male with good views.
