Well, any candidate could say that. So why is she the one to stay, while they leave?
Well, Buttigieg is pretty robotic and uninspiring, but Klobuchar was all right. She's a smiler at least. Her only gaffe was forgetting the Mexican President was Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Well, who knew that, anyway. The guy is pretty low-profile.
It's kinda dumb that she keeps patting herself on the back for supporting closing the "boyfriend" loophole that allowed men to get away with domestic violence as long as they didn't marry the chick. I dunno, I guess it does at least put married men on an equal level as boyfriends, thus shoring up in a way the institution of marriage, although the way it does it is by reducing boyfriends down to the level of husbands, rather than lifting husbands up.
Anyway, any female politician will act that way; they'll introduce bills like that to try to fuck up what few remnants of patriarchy might still exist covertly out there. I'm sure Warren is equally bad, or even worse, though; I mean, look at the lines of attack she uses against Bloomberg; it's just a bunch of #MeToo stuff.
Warren’s strategy, laid out in conversations with more than a half-dozen of her aides and close allies, relies largely on outlasting several of her less well-financed rivals and trying to collect their supporters when they drop out. One aide told POLITICO that the campaign thinks multiple candidates will withdraw in the next 7 to 10 days, shaking up the race.
The aide didn't name names, but outside allies did. "Others like Pete [Buttigieg] and Amy [Klobuchar] have had feel-good blips of momentum, but will enter Super Tuesday without strength," said Maria Langholz, press secretary for the Warren-aligned Progressive Change Campaign Committee. "[Warren] enters Super Tuesday with lots of groundwork laid, two fantastic debate performances during early voting in upcoming states and an overall position of strength."
