Once you accept CNN's bias, and the limited impact it has on actual voters, the Sanders-Warren 'feud' at Tuesday night's debate was a dud
So, what can we take from this? First, on the question of “who to believe?”, it’s worth remember Sanders’ record—how he deferred to Warren in 2015, how he said a woman could win ages ago, how he acknowledged that by the popular vote, a woman alreadywon. But it’s also important to look at Warren’s long history of distorting facts or outright lying for political convenience, as documented exhaustively by Nathan Robinson.
Then there’s Warren’s prepared speech that CNN was so eager to praise. She noted that the men on stage had combined to lose 10 elections, and people cheered at the comparison and it will continue to be shared today, but the truth is that Warren has won two elections as a Democrat in deep blue Massachusetts. What Sanders accomplished, by winning as a socialist independent mayoral candidate, House candidate, and Senate candidate, represents a degree of difficulty that isn’t comparable.
In fact, it’s far more likely have to have a long-term effect based on the bad blood that now boils between both factions. It doesn’t take an incisive political brain to see how this benefits Joe Biden, and in fact one of the most common conspiracy theories floating around this week has been that Warren knows her campaign is dead in the water and is jockeying for Biden’s VP spot by tanking Sanders.
All that said, emotions are running very hot right now, and it’s clouding perspectives on how much the average voter cares about petty squabbles, and how significantly it will impact the vote. This doesn’t change things in the short-term—Iowa will still be a major battle, and no matter how a network like CNN stages a
to milk any notion of conflict, very few minds will change because of a disputed conversation from two years ago.
