Charlie Pierce: The Dem Field Will Be Cut in Half After California

RUSH EXCERPT:

PIERCE: “First of all, I want to point out that what Sara was talking about earlier about linking the international kleptocracy with kitchen table issues, that’s something that senator Warren has done since she launched. I mean last night I heard her in New Hampshire and most of her speech was about her proposal for universal child care. And she linked that to the fact that you need universal child care because we’re all gshs most of the wealth is being shoved upwards. I think there is a linkage to be made there and I think it’s in the process. Now as to what you — as to the question you actually asked me, I think the one thing that hasn’t been emphasized enough is the move of California to early in the process. That’s going to win over the field. Because people are going to need a truckload of money to compete there. And I think by the time — California is right up there at the beginning of the cess now. I think that that’s going to be the money primary and you will see if it’s a 20-person field, I think you’re going to see that cut in half after California.”
