Don't really see that happening. Especially as Bernie and Warren's bases are different.

Sorry, but just reading the thread title my mind went in a totally different direction, if you know what I mean...

Yeah really !! UGH President Warren.. That is a nightmare for our future. I would actually rather see Hillary in than Granny Warren. At least Hillary is a tough cookie that would take no nonsense from foreign leaders. She might take a back door donation to her foundation but she wouldn't be pushed around.

Has anyone ever seen Warren off the teleprompter and pressed to answer even easy questions? She is like a deer in the headlights of an oncoming truck and she resorts to her canned talking points.

Trump certainly has his issues but at least he likes America and understands what makes it tick. Warren on the other hand wants to tear it all down.

It is pretty sad that Warren is the best the Dems have.

How do they have different bases? It seems to me that they are ideologically very similar. I perceive that both are far left socialists, quasi-communists.

The difference is Bernie actually believes it and has been consistent for decades while Warren has very clearly changed her positions and lied about her past to tailor herself to Bernies popularity. She is the smarter, more politically savvy, but more disingenuous version of Bernie.

these two candidates, while on the surface seem similar, are very different. Bernie is a full on socialist who wants to dismantle capitalism. warren is a committed capitalist who wants America to adopt the democratic socialist policies of the governments in much of western Europe.

I don't see their bases having a common denominator.

Yeah, don't believe your ears as to what Warren and Sanders actually say. LOL. These leftists are about as sharp as a marble.

Western Europe? I don't think so. As someone who is sitting right now in Romania, I don't understand why anyone would want to adopt any of our policies.

I agree with you when you say that you "don't understand why anyone would want to adopt any of our policies". some americans are uneducated about the downsides of democratic socialism and how adopting these policies will destroy the unique opportunities americans are lucky enough to have in our country. warren, the candidate espousing many of these policies, is actually leading the democratic party polls in some states.
