The next Democratic primary debate should be very interesting.

Another issue of The Vote, another Democratic candidate out of the race! Elizabeth Warren called it quits this week after a disappointing Super Tuesday. That means it truly is Biden vs Sanders for the 2020 nomination -- which will make the next Democratic primary debate, scheduled for March 15, very interesting to watch.

Here's the news you'll want to know before you head into the weekend ... and, just because it's Friday, we'll start with a bipawtisan (yes, that's intentional) shout-out to Elizabeth Warren's adorable dog Bailey, who snagged an entire burrito in what seems to be the Warren campaign office.

A plan for everything, except how to win the 2020 Democratic nomination.

"This put her in a bind: She didn’t want to bleed any more of her relatively moderate supporters to Buttigieg, and she realized she couldn’t get to the left of the avowedly socialist Sanders. In mid-November, she retreated on Medicare for All [...] By the end of the month, half of her supporters nationwide had abandoned her." [Read the full story from National Review.]

Some of Elizabeth Warren's supporters seem to blame America -- well, that is, American voters -- for their lack of support for their candidate.

But several political analysts have traced the source of her campaign woes to her support of Medicare for All, as this National Review piece neatly summarizes. She couldn't "out-left" Bernie, and she couldn't lose any "moderate" liberals who might be swayed by her immense focus on technocratic, centralized planning to Buttigieg.

So instead, she made a pragmatic choice designed to keep her campaign afloat that, in the long run, didn't help at all. It's reminiscent of her last-minute decision to suddenly embrace super PAC support after months of disdaining it.

Her US Senate term isn't up until 2024, which may be enough time for her to rebuild support in Massachusetts after this week's disappointing third place finish in her own state.

Senator Schumer's week has gone from bad to worse -- all due to his own words, past and present.

"The comment has earned strong rebuke from both the right and the left. But Schumer’s threat is even more egregious in light of his recent complaint about Trump." [Read the full story from Daily Wire.]

In a diatribe directed at Justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch this week, Senator Schumer from New York said: "I want to tell you Gorsuch, I want to tell you Kavaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these official decisions."

Chief Justice John Roberts released a strong rebuke of Sen. Schumer's language, going so far as it to call it "threatening" and "dangerous." You'll recall that Sen. Schumer is the Minority Leader of the U.S. Senate, so his words carry extra weight.

It's worth noting that Sen. Schumer had recently encouraged the Chief Justice to speak up in defense of the judiciary, though he hoped that the blame would fall on President Trump -- not him.

Sen. Schumer has issued a statement since the incident, though many have not judged it to be an actual apology. Senate Republicans are reportedly considering an official censure.

Paging Al Gore: "fuzzy math" makes a return to live television, this time to the embarrassment of MSNBC.

"Of course, if Williams or Gay or an MSNBC producer had paused to grab a calculator or think, they would have realized Bloomberg’s half-billion-dollar ad spree would be enough to give every American only about $1.50." [Read the full story from The Federalist.]

In a segment on MSNBC last night that's gone viral this morning, the host read a tweet about how Michael Bloomberg could have directly given each American $1 million -- and still have money left over in his campaign treasury. Then his guest agreed this was a sign of how there's too much money in politics.

Hmm.

Here's how the math checks out, pulling just from the original tweet: Bloomberg spent approximately $500 million on ads, and the U.S. has about 327 million people.

That's not $1 million per person; that's about $1.50 per person.

But hey, perhaps this is just how liberal math works.

Here's one analysis of how coronavirus may shape other policies of the Trump Administration.

"'In urging calm, Trump also signaled that he views the virus as a potential catalyst for a strategic restructuring of America’s trade relationship with China, and returning manufacturing jobs to the U.S." [Read the full story from The Daily Signal.]

As before, we will emphasize first that health and safety are paramount -- and coronavirus is an American issue, not a partisan one. The #1 priority is always to keep people safe and secure, and no other priority tops that!

Coronavirus remains an important topic for many Americans, both due to health concerns as well as how it may substantially affect travel, public events, and the economy this spring.

The Daily Signal features important analysis about how coronavirus may shape other areas of President Trump's policies, particularly with international trade and returning more manufacturing to the United States.
