Fabulism! Got you Matt

Not sure if they took Liz into a back room and gave her an offer she couldn't refuse or if she was the Manchurian Candidate posing as a leftist the whole time. Either way, she abandoned the rest of us and as a Massachusetts citizen I will never let this go.

I’m sure someone has mentioned some version of this before, but it bears repeating that every campaign has a ratfuck mole in it. To be sure, even Bernie. And by virtue of that fact, I am inclined to think that at least a couple of Warren’s top campaign staff, especially as fickle career wonks as they are, some are definitely already moving on to a hedged bet with Biden or Mayo. The most salient reality for me to understand all of this is that those chickens are coming home to roost because they see Warren’s campaign already taking on water. Why else would Warren prevaricate so much about whether Bernie said what he said. Look at her literal hand-wringing when Bernie offered her a handshake at the last debate. She looks like someone that’s been forced into something they really didn’t wanna do. So why would her staffers do this to both Warren and Bernie? Because if they can create just enough inertia to break Sanders from being Warren supporters’ second choice, then they will flock to Mayo or Biden simply out of spite for Bernie, and those numbers might be just enough to bolster a few primary/caucus wins for the other two, keeping Bernie at arms length. Just a thought, but the only one that makes the most sense to me.
