Ultimately, what you do—coming to town halls, knocking on doors, calling voters—is an act of optimism. It's an act that says: If we get out there and fight from the heart, we'll save our democracy and our country.
I believe in that optimism. That's why I'm in this fight.

Finish the old proverb for me: For a woman to succeed, she must work twice as hard to do half as well…
My husband showed me a headline that was "Buttigieg and Sanders lead in Iowa, Biden trails in 4th" and said he read it and just yelled at his desk.

Just got Warren’s reaction to the partial results out of Iowa showing the senator in third place — she says she is “top three” there, and says “this is an operation that’s built for the long haul.”

(Shout-out to Senator Jeanne Shaheen! Who is another gifted politician who’s shattered glass ceilings in New Hampshire… and also a woman who defeated Scott Brown.)
.@ewarren is asked at the #CNNTownHall whether the men in the 2020 race believe they have a better chance to win because of their gender.
“I believe they think so but they’d be wrong,” she responds and then the audience laughs.

The reactions to this Iowa mess have been so instructive.
Biden: cast doubt on legitimacy of result
Sanders: let surrogates spread conspiracy theories, sulk
Buttigieg: just keep declaring victory
Warren: help the state party confirm data, get back to work
