Of course they are.  They can’t get fully behind Warren, because even she’s too liberal for them; but she’s their best shot at preventing further defections to Bernie.  And this helps keep Klobuchar alive, since she might prove their best remaining option if Biden implodes and assuming Bernie doesn’t take the nomination on the first round.

That is a weird clip.  Could they sit any farther from him?  And I’m glad their staff includes people of color, but it almost appears staged to make PoC’s look distant, disaffected, skeptical of him.  Do we know who are the other people in the scene?  The takeaway impression is of profound unease, even though they’re letting him have his say and…[Read more]
