Caveats

Hi, earlier in my text "Cavetas" has been refered to "Make these points over and over".
For "Cavetas" my dictonary gives me two meaning- Caution and Warning I'm almost sure it refers to "Warning" although they didn't write "Warning" from the right place ...

"Schumer was fascinated by Obama’s potential to redraw the electoral
map, a capacity Clinton surely lacked. In conversations with other senators and strategists in 2006, Schumer would make these points over and over."

Then I have this part ...

But they also added the same caveats as Schumer. Keen as they were for Obama to run, they would never be able to bless him with an early endorsement.

'Caveats' are authoritative warnings, so in your first sentence, points = caveats. 'Over and over' is an unrelated structure meaning 'repeatedly'.

No, no!

"points = caveats" means that the two words have the same meaning here.
