No offense but some of you Warren people need to get over it. When Bernie lost in 2016, we didn’t cry this much. We sucked it up and voted for Trump.

The Missouri presidential preference primary is on Tuesday, March 10th.
The campaign fundraising is going well.
I’m Mike Bloomberg, Mike Bloomberg, Bloomberg.
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D): You probably seen more ads from Michael Bloomberg than the rest of us running for president put together. Big money is powerful but it doesn’t always win.
I know that firsthand. When I ran against an incumbent Republican to take a US Senate seat away from Mitch McConnell, Bloomberg endorsed the Republican and he raised big money for him.
But I beat him anyway.
I’m Elizabeth Warren and I approve this message because I believe our democracy should work for you, not the billionaires.
Elizabeth Warren’s campaign raised $29 million in February. She’s in it for the long haul.

So, is the pre debate analysis going to erase @ewarren? Is the debate coverage going to pixelate her face and mute any of her responses? Just curious.

I hate meta. And yet, here we have it.
We are an impatient people. We watch impatient old media. They create narratives because they are impatient. We listen to those tired narratives because we are so predictably impatient.
The old media hand wringing on the evening of the Iowa Caucus was a thing to behold. I spent my time watching their coverage screaming obscenities at the onscreen talking heads throughout the night. You’d have thought the cable networks had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on their brand new sets and on their ominous, yet vaguely patriotic, “Decide Something 2020” theme music. Instead, we got a really bad remake of the 1970 Mary Tyler Moore Show election night blizzard episode “The Snow Must Go On”. Watch the original, it’s hilarious.
Old media had to wait, what, seventy-two hours, for an approximation of the final results of a CAUCUS, the first voting event in a line of fifty-seven or so (states, commonwealths, territories). They wanted to declare an ultimate winner THAT VERY NIGHT. How dare the Iowa Democratic Party hold a caucus like that. You know, with (very public) formulas and arcane rules. Yawn.
If you’ve ever participated in a caucus they’re all like that. [Raises hand: Missouri, 1992.] Forget that it took months for an “official winner” of the Iowa republican caucus several cycles back.
The 2020 Iowa Caucus was the best thing to happen to presidential politics in America in a long time. Maybe 2020 will be a final stake in the heart of this money sucking, faux populist, abomination of true Democracy.
Caucuses are inherently undemocratic while simultaneously being small “d” democratic. You can’t “vote” at will over a period of your choosing in the hours between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. on the day of the caucus. You have to show up before they figuratively “lock the doors” at the appointed hour and then you have to stay for the duration to have your vote counted. Who does this cockamamie process exclude? I’ll wait.
Candidates spent tens of millions in Iowa. Several campaigns, with stellar candidates, ran out of resources and the approval of conventional wisdom long before the first vote was cast. That’s a tragedy for all of us. The candidates spent tens of millions of dollars in Iowa. Think about that.
It’s on us because we let this happen, election after election.
There’s a lot to be said for retail politics, the art and charm of presidential candidates getting out there and engaging voters one on one. Get over it. You don’t live there. There are a lot of Americans who don’t get that opportunity to engage with candidates who want to be their president, because somehow we’ve anointed two small states with a tiny percentage of voters (and low turnout) and with a minimal number of nominating delegates at stake to act as the final arbiters and gatekeepers of our viable and/or electable candidates for president.
Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Julián Castro, to name a few, are no longer candidates. Tulsi Gabbard hangs on, still. I rest my case.
So, here we are, with eight or so candidates remaining in the Democratic Party presidential nominating process and old media chomping at the bit to create winners and losers narratives. The next two components of the process include another arcane caucus and an honest to goodness primary. We’ll see what happens. Old media will lazily build on their previous narratives or gaslight us all if they change them. Then it’s fifty-three or so primaries or caucuses to go. Get my drift?
In the meantime, a trend on social media:
Adam Best @adamcbest
#PresidentWarren is trending because despite her being 3rd in delegates, 3rd in most national polls and 2nd in endorsements, the media acts as if she doesn’t exist. So her supporters are dealing with this blackout by making sure voters know she’s still here and still kicking ass.

inFrom Julián Castro’s campaign:
For Immediate Release: Monday, January 6, 2019
Contact: Sawyer Hackett, Communications Director [….]Secretary Julián Castro Endorses Senator Elizabeth Warren for President
SAN ANTONIO, TX (January 6, 2019) – On Monday, January 6, 2019, former Obama Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Mayor of San Antonio, Texas, Julián Castro, endorsed Senator Elizabeth Warren for President of the United States. In a video released Monday, the former presidential candidate explained why he believes Senator Warren is the most qualified, best-equipped candidate to win the nomination, defeat Donald Trump, and build a nation where everyone counts.
[….]
“Theres one candidate I see who’s unafraid to fight like hell to make sure America’s promise will be there for everyone,” said Secretary Julián Castro in the video. “Who will make sure that no matter where you live in America or where your family came from in the world, you have a path to opportunity too. That’s why I’m proud to endorse Elizabeth Warren for President.”
Following his endorsement, Secretary Castro will travel to New York to campaign alongside Senator Warren at a joint rally at Brooklyn’s King Theatre.
As a former mayor of San Antonio, Texas, HUD Secretary under President Obama, and groundbreaking presidential candidate, Secretary Castro is among the most high-profile endorsers in 2020, and only the second endorsement from a former 2020 presidential candidate. Secretary Castro inspired millions with his historic campaign—distinguished for his efforts to fight for the most vulnerable people, marginalized communities, the poor, and those left out of the political process.

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D) continued her presidential campaign in Iowa with a town hall at Simpson College in Indianola on Sunday afternoon.
In a presidential campaign tour de force, she spoke at length, took questions, and then stayed and stood for selfie photographs with a very long line of supporters. Close to 500 individuals attended the event.
Senator Warren’s final remarks to the town hall audience, right before she exited the stage for a press gaggle and for audience selfie photos:
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D):…I got the issues you all brought up. I am deeply grateful, uh, that you all come out here on a Sunday afternoon. Uh, the weather was nice. Uh, we got a big decision to make in 2020. And that decision is gonna come right through Iowa. And I am deeply grateful for the time you invest in getting this right. Um, a nation owes you a great thanks. So, thank you Iowans. Thank you [applause][cheers]
The issue that we talked about today and other ones that I talk about, they’re hard. How we’re going to educate our children. Uh, how we’re gonna make sure that everyone gets access to health care. How it is that we’re going to protect seniors who rely on Social Security. By the way, my Social Security bill will lift nearly five million people out of poverty and put a lot more flexibility into the budget for millions more.
Uh, what it means to cancel student loan debts. Uh, we didn’t even get to talk about how we reduce the cost of housing and increase the housing supply across the country. Um, climate change. Very, very difficult. Uh, lots of pieces of that have an effect us.
When I made the decision to run for President I was working on most of these issues. In fact, I’ve worked on many of these issues for pretty much all my grown up life. And I started talking about it right here in Iowa. And I went back to Washington and people would say to me, experts, uh, also known as Senators [laughter], uh, they’d say to me, what you’re talking about is too hard. It’s got too many pieces to it, it’s too complicated, it’s got, uh, it’s just too hard. Uh, go with somethin easier, get some vague generalities, uh, smile more. [gasps][laughter] That’s, that’s how people run for President. Uh, and I always said, thank you.
But, here’s what I thought of them. What do you think the naysayers said to the abolitionists? Too hard, give up now. What do you think they said to the suffragettes just a little over a hundred years ago? They said, too hard. With men, right? What did they say to the early union workers? [voice: “Too hard”] Too hard. Quit now. What did they say to the foot soldiers in the civil rights movement? [with audience] Too hard, quit now. What did they say just a decade ago to the LGBTQ plus activists who wanted equal marriage? [with audience] Too hard, quit now.
But none of them quit. They fought back. They got organized, they built a grass roots movement, they persisted [applause][cheers], and they changed the course of history.
This is our moment in American history. Our moment to dream big, fight hard, and win.
Thank you. [applause][cheers]

in“…the cheapest possible way to make sure that everyone gets the health care that they need is Medicare for All…”
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D) continued her presidential campaign in Iowa with a town hall at Simpson College in Indianola on Sunday afternoon.
After her extensive remarks, she took questions. After the question and answer session she spoke on Medicare for All:
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D): …I didn’t get a question today, uh, about Medicare for All. I want to say a word about it before we go any further.
And, there is this, every single person who is running for President of the United States on the Democratic side right now knows that families are getting crushed by the cost of health care.
They also know that the cheapest possible way to make sure that everyone gets the health care that they need is Medicare for All. And that’s why I support Medicare for All, that’s why I’m there.
What I see, though, is that we need to talk about the cost and I plan over the next, uh, few weeks to put out a plan that talks about, specifically, the cost of Medicare for All and, specifically, how we pay for it.
You know, right now, the cost estimates on Medicare for All vary by trillions and trillions of dollars. And the different revenue streams for how to fund it, there are a lot of them.
So, this is something I’ve been working on for months and months. And, uh, it’s got jut a little more work until it’s finished. But I want to bring this out.
But, here’s the promise I make to you, and make every chance I get, and that is, I will not sign a bill into law that does not reduce the cost of health care for middle class families, because it is the cost of health care that is hurting and the cost of health care is what they care about. And because they care about it, I care about it.
So…[applause][cheers]
