The answer is that she doesn't care. Assholes somehow found a worse secretary of education than Arne Duncan.

Gowdy has literally zero integrity. What a fucking joke.

After taking a look at that letter, it’s fucking nuts. It’s pretty obviously wrong about the law as everybody has understood it for the last 40 years (though, don’t be surprised for the corrupt supreme Piet to determine actually that Congress has to vote on an impeachment inquiry to actually investigate)... but it’s also wrong on the actual history.

There was never any vote for an “impeachment inquiry” on Clinton. They just moved straight to impeach him after the Starr Report.

Why the fuck is Warren leading now

Because she's Sander's-lite/Diet Sanders, with less SOCIALISM!.gif and vagina/"good liberal voting for the 'first woman president'" points.

Despite the fact there's overwhelming evidence she probably won't be as progressive as her campaign is making her out to be.

Reminder: We need to eat the rich to avoid the Hunger Games that are to come in the next few years.

honestly, between the usual sanders attacks and racial spread for the candidates
the warren support seems to be a mix of "I don't care about voting for anyone but a woman" and what I think people call "white feminism"

Despite Nintex's hard hitting analysis, Warren hasn't really taken too much from Biden I don't think as much as she's eaten up a lot of the undecideds. Looking at the RCP average Warren is at 26.6, Biden at 26.4. Biden has been lower at times in the past, although they were short lived and he moved back up towards around a 28-30 average usually. Sanders has collapsed like a heart attack victim from his 16-17 average down to 14.6. And Harris has been vaporized off the planet down to 4.4% where she had been like 6-7% forever. Tulsi, Booker, Beto and Castro have all shed their point or so bumps, and Buttigieg's small bump has only restored him back to near his 6% average. Warren seems to have gobbled up all of these. Warren ate from the earlier Biden decline more than the others too.

The big Harris bump that disappeared seems to have gone almost entirely to Warren, I say this not from analyzing the numbers but looking at the graph, it seems as if they became undecideds/Bidendefaults until recently when they've flocked to Warren:


They probably did not go to Bernie because of a reflexive reaction towards his skin-crawling weirdness, virulent racism and violent sexism.

When you look at the candidates' profiles and how they appeal to the democratic primary electorate Warren is an obvious choice for top contender. She hasn't alienated any major groups, she satisfies the sense that somebody bolder is needed without turning anyone off by promising to upend everything, she isn't ancient or another white dude.

Bernie stans thought that Hillary losing would automatically put them in the driver's seat in the party but didn't consider that the people voting in the Dem primaries are still the same people they were from four years ago. They aren't going to suddenly want to overthrow the party and they weren't closet socialists, and without Hillary to keep everybody out of the race there was nothing to stop somebody a bit less incendiary* from stepping in and siphoning off all the people who were willing to rock the boat but not overturn it.

*Should note that Warren being the safer choice is pretty wild considering she is hated by Wall Street and parts of the Obama administration.

In a plan Bullock unveiled last week, the president and members of the House and Senate would have to close their campaign fundraising accounts after each election, and they would be prohibited from raising campaign money for half of their terms.
Quote
Steve would require federal elected officials to work at least half of their term before filing for re-election.

That means no chasing donors, no PAC checks, no fundraising — not even setting up a campaign committee — until they first do the job they were elected to do. 

As soon as our elected leaders go to Washington, they turn around and start running for re-election. Congress hasn’t passed a budget on time in more than 20 years, yet they spent nearly 1.5 million hours fundraising in just the last term.

When members of Congress spend nearly every day chasing donations, that means they spend almost every day listening to the interests behind that campaign cash. No wonder nothing seems to get done any more.

Steve’s plan will reduce the influence of corporations and wealthy donors, limit the power of incumbency, and force our representatives to do the job they were elected to do.
thank you for holding our elected officials accountable, Governor Bullock :teehee

I'm not here to dabble in any post hoc narrative, I just don't see any justification for the steady climb in Warren's polling these past couple of weeks, Bernie's collapse, or this iteration of Biden's cyclical decline. There hasn't been a debate in 3 weeks, nothing interesting happened in the last one, no one dropped out.

Over examining the microevents and constant fluctuations is a lot less interesting and illuminating than considering the bigger picture :trumps

So far everything's gone pretty much as you would expect it to

I have no idea what her real stances are, she seems to say whatever is popular at the moment.
But at least she has a pretty good chance of actually staying alive until the end of her presidency and not succumbing to dementia like Biden.

"Don’t tempt me. Do your job," Clinton said in response to the tweet.

Clinton, 71, told PBS reporter Judy Woodruff that she would win in 2020 if she ran.

In the interview with Woodruff, Clinton said it “truly is remarkable how obsessed he remains with me, but this latest tweet is so typical of him.”

“Nothing has been more examined and looked at than my emails, we all know that. So, he’s either lying or delusional, or both,” she continued. “There was no subpoena as he says in a tweet this morning, so, maybe there does need to be a rematch. I mean, obviously, I can beat him again.”
