Mostly with anyone he might've convinced to come to his side from the moderates -- which he needs to appeal to if he wants to win the primary. If anything, this helps solidify Biden's hold on the nomination. Bernie supporters are much less likely to switch to Warren if it becomes obvious she's more likely to win the nomination. And Warren supporters are less likely to switch to Bernie if it becomes obvious he's more likely to win the nomination. Progressives are going at each other, and that helps Biden more than anyone.another accurate take having already been personally convinced of Biden winning since December, this definitely pushes that prediction further Dancedreamer posted... This might also be a way to try to pin Warren in a corner in the event she gains steam. Force her to appeal to moderates. Especially if Uncle Joe makes a major gaffe at some point (and let's face it, he probably will)Honestly reclaiming ground she lost from moderates has always been her only viable path, going after Bernie support is an entirely unfruitful effort, they very much want Bernie and are pushed away by attacking him. The ground Liz lost to Pete were the apolitical volatile voters and her best bet to maintaining a convincing base to draw "best viable option" votes. Unfortunate her chance was when she peaked up ahead of Biden for the briefest of moments before Pete snatched it away and now she's back to her "can't win" perception. Plus the strategy of being friendly with Bernie has also just been very beneficial to their shared progressive policies, helping possibly convince the unsavvy "moderates" together that things can be alright. --- https://imgtc.ws/i/1LkkaGU.jpg somethin somethin hung somethin horse somethin ...
