re: #198 Brian J.

It should be noted that Warren won her Senate seat in 2012, her only contested political race to date, by 7.55% over Scott Brown. Clinton won Massachusetts by 27.20%, meaning that she outperformed Warren by 19.65%. If Warren performed as poorly as in 2012, on a uniform swing, here are all the states she’d win in a 2020 national election.

Vermont
New York
Maryland
DC
California
Hawaii

That’s a 434-104 Electoral College pasting. Feel the second-generation Bern.

To be fair, I don’t think you can measure it that easily. However, you do raise a legitimate point that she’s not exactly knocking out Republicans at home in one of the safest Democratic states in the Union and I don’t see her winning re-election in a landslide either, she’ll win mind you but not overwhelmingly as she ought to.
