The Haverford School’s leafy campus, arched doorways, and neatly uniformed boys would seem to denote the sort of class and privilege that Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) has decried on the campaign trail.

Alex ThompsonGreat @joshjame look at how Warren supporters care more that she has a plan, not as much about the particulars. "“It’s just the idea that she’s thought all these things through. I think that just to have a plan is amazing,”

no surrogates on TV
no Twitter fights

The other day I was accused by one of my opponents of running in the wrong primary. Pretty amazing. On one level, it is kind of funny.
