Right after the Des Moines Register (the gold standard of Iowa polling) has Sanders pulling ahead in Iowa, and Warren's numbers tumbling nationally - all of a sudden this comes out?

I don't think anyone has to believe anything in this story - especially not the unnamed "source" cited in the article.

Very simple solution: Tomorrow at the CNN debate, it's journalistic malpractice to not simply ask Warren, directly: "Did Sanders tell you in that December 2018 meeting that a woman can't win?"

Warren needs to either corroborate this source and confirm the rumor - or she needs to call it out.

Of course, I expect neither to happen. This is textbook ugly primary politics playbook 101: attempt to win the narrative by any means necessary when desperate and trailing.
