Huffington Post ^ | March 5, 2020 | Amanda Terkel

Elizabeth Warren wasn’t trying to be the first female president.

She wanted to be president. She wanted to cut banks down to size and relieve student debt. Root out the corrupt influence of money in politics and go after monopolies.

Warren didn’t focus on how she’d be breaking a glass ceiling. She didn’t shy away from her gender, but when she talked about feminism, it was most often centered on female organizers and the movements they’ve led throughout history.

But Warren couldn’t just run for president. At every step of the campaign, she was reminded that people still saw her as a female candidate, with all the baggage that comes with that designation ― questions about her toughness, likability and relatability.

Incorrect. She never lived down that “American Indian” heritage gaffe.

Bloomie is ahead of her in the delegate count. :) He would only have needed 57.46% of the remaining delegates.

Yes, because recognizing 9 year-olds as “transgenders” and promising them power over cabinet nominations is something the masses have been clamoring for.

That’s not really a gaffe, more like a complete lie she repeated for years.

No. She unethically faked her lineage to get an advantage. Disqualified.

Tell it to the Democrats. We Republicans didn’t have a dang thing to do with it.

She lost because her policies simply made no economic sense. There are monopolies in the US because the exhibit huge economies of scale...and they are regulated. If you disagree about other company’s market share, there are laws on the books to see redress. Taxing wealth? REALLY stupid, as you need capital formation for the system to growth a provide job opportunities. Finally, she seems to assume that she can spend our money better than we can. Simply not true, which is why I’m anti-big gov’t in the first place.

If you make being a female an issue, as Warren did, you will be the “female candidate.”

Facepalm is the only answer to this kind of stupidity. Rational discourse is an exercise in futility.

The author makes a very good point. American society is still sexist. That’s why Sarah Palin didn’t get on the GOP ticket in 2008, and why Hillary Clinton didn’t win the Democrat nomination in 2016.

Oh, wait. Never mind.

It was Gray Beaver’s own Rat party who resoundingly rejected her.

We adorable Deplorables had nothing to do with her spectacular face plant. The Rats own this one. SNORT

Another delusional Democrat loony living (in her mind) in an alternative universe where Fauxcahantas is something other than a lying arrogant condescending Marxist tyrant wannabe harridan with all of the vote appeal of Stalin/Medusa/Podarge.
