Warren is just doing what she has been doing since she studied bankruptcy and the business world… to begin campaigning against its excesses and big business ITSELF recently…
Democrats should continue to collect money from wherever they can…
She CAN look down her nose right now….
She HAS accepted money from wealthy donors up to recently and probably has some of it in her campaign bank account right now,,,,
For others To NOT do so would be idiocy for those who need the money….
But Elizabeth Warren is a very smart candidate….
Will this line work?
Elizabeth Warren is going after some of her Democratic rivals ahead of Tuesday night’s debate over their dependence on big donors.
In a Medium post, the Massachusetts senator criticizes unnamed Democratic opponents for relying on high-dollar fundraisers to fund their campaigns and challenges them to disclose the names of their wealthy bundlers and finance teams, as well as any honorifics they’re given. She also calls on them to reveal the dates and locations of all future fundraisers if they continue to hold such events.
“If Democratic candidates for president want to spend their time hobnobbing with the rich and powerful, it is currently legal for them to do so — but they shouldn’t be handing out secret titles and honors to rich donors,” Warren wrote in a Medium post with her latest plan on campaign finance. “Voters have a right to know who is buying access and recognition — and how much it costs.
Warren did not name names, but her comments were an implicit rebuke of Pete Buttigieg, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris. All of them have raised millions at fundraisers with the wealthy, a common practice in both parties.
Warren and Bernie Sanders have spurned fundraisers for the primary and the general election, calling them inherently corrupt. Warren and Sanders have both galvanized supporters with their approach, while still out-raising all of their opponents last quarter with robust small-donor, online-focused donor operations…
Note…
Warren IS opening up a offence against Buttigieg in particular and others who have started to throw at her….

so previously James said Warren “looks down her nose” at the “working class”. Now he claims she looking down her nose st the wealthy. But actually James is consistent!! Everything Warren does is wrong – and she must be destroyed!! Bring on the Republican talking points to help elect Biden.
Please go back a bit Z and read how i defended Warren against CG’s knocks…
I do NOT hate her….
I just believe she cannot beat Trump …
I believe that Biden CAN….
I AM uneasy with the bias towards Warren by the media which is clearly evident..
Warren gets a lot of media attention because she is always talking about issues, taking positions that are sometimes viewed as controversial and making provocative statements.
Your criticism of her mirrors the Republicans cries of media “bias” because they report what Trump says and tweets.
It’s old and way overworked.
Biden is running a much more “Little “c” conservative campaign.Not many statements, few provocative statements and well known standard positions on most issues.
Accordingly, he isn’t getting as much media attention.
Warren is also getting huge crowds. For better or worse that gets more media attention.
I wouldn’t call Biden’s campaign conservative …
It isn’t…
He started out using his experience in the Senate and as Vice President…
The pragmatic REALIRTY that ALL President’s come to see (Ref:Trump)…
But THAT isn’t how your run for the job, eh?
You MUST Promise the Moon you know is far..FAR away…
So NOW Biden is gonna lean left and make the promises he kn own they ALL can’t keep…
‘Give’m what they want!’….
There IS a bias towards her….
I HAVE addressed THAT here as have others in the media…
But?
Biden STILL has to deal with it….
I DO point out here though that the media does pick and choose how they cover things…
Prime example….
MoringConsult has poll out with Biden more 10 points ahead of Warren…
Q Poll has Warren e 3 points ahead of Biden…
Which poll gets mentioned?
CBS poll has Warren ahead in Iowa….Tied with Biden in NH and Biden. ahead in the rest of state in sequence…
Any mention?
Just keeping it real….
I didn’t use it in the political sense but as an adjective defining the type of campaign he was running .
As for keeping it “real?”
No you are cheerleading for Biden.
The plain fact is that Warren ,so far, is running a better, more activist campaign than Biden.
And,of course, the media will cover that type of campaign.
I do favor Biden…
Warren IS running a better campaign…
She has been favoured by the media and not been given much critical coverage…
Tell us something new….
I don’t share your thoughts at all that Biden is not getting his share of media attention, he got a lot of attention for calling for Trump’s impeachment- even though he was the last major candidate to do so.
Buttigieg gets a ton of media attention because he makes himself available. Biden could do the same..
He’s getting attention Z….
He doesn’t have Warren’s schedule….
Her campaign is VERY good with the media…
That’s his fault I agree…
And that’s why when he does get attention it’s not gonna be like Biden…
Biden’s strength with his base is his history…
The media is using it as a crutch against Biden…
I’m sure Warren will Not get the3 same pass from the Republicans…
Anyways?
It IS a contest….
I didn’t say he didn’t get any,I said he doesn’t get “as much” as Warren for the reasons I stated.
Indeed, you imply that he doesn’t get as much because he isn’t as “available “ as other candidates.
That may be another reason.
