Elizabeth Warren did poorly in Iowa, despite laying claim to having built the earliest, largest, and most sophisticated field operation. The caucus vote-counting confusion provided cover for Warren to escape relatively unscathed.
But the New Hampshire results are in, and Warren got clobbered in her neighboring state, despite mostly favorable coverage nationally and her home Boston market. She lost to Bernie, Pete Buttigieg, and Amy Klobuchar. Now Warren can’t hide.
The massive campaign machine Warren built, reportedly with over 1000 campaign employees, could not overcome the most fundamental problem Warren’s campaign faced: Warren’s public persona of being a fake.
Americans will nominate and elect all sorts of candidates, from the virtuous to the rogue. But Americans don’t like fakes.
And there may never have been a more fake major candidate in modern American history than Elizabeth Warren.
Virtually everything about her personal narrative was false or questionable. And she couldn’t shake the “faux” prefix.

Run and done, one and dumb.
He stole it from Elizabeth Warren. She was the beginning of “You Didn’t Build That.” She did it a year before. Obama stole it and first used it in a 2012 speech.
“In August 2011, while contemplating a run for the U.S. Senate, former White House financial reform adviser Elizabeth Warren gave a defense of progressive economic theory at an event in Andover, Massachusetts.[7] On September 21, a video of Warren making the case for progressive economics received attention on the Internet and became a viral video.[8] In the video, Warren aggressively rebuts the argument that asking the rich to pay more taxes is “class warfare”,[9] by making the claim that no one grew rich in America without depending on government services paid for by the rest of society.[10] Warren said:[11]
I hear all this, you know, ‘Well, this is class warfare, this is whatever.’ No. There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own — nobody. You built a factory out there? Good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police-forces and fire-forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn’t have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory — and hire someone to protect against this — because of the work the rest of us did. Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific, or a great idea. God bless — keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is, you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.”
Didn’t know that!
I had only heard Zero say it.
She was a fake and even worse, that’s her trouble.
Warren will remain in because the Dems see her as a spoiler to Comrade Sanders.
Can’t blame a gal for trying. After all, just years ago we (U.S.) did elect a fake larger in life than even she. A box of Cracker Jacks to those who might have a name of the said and soon to be sad individual.
The writer should have said We don’t like fakes who insult our intelligence and act arrogant about it when caught..
Warren got clobbered in her neighboring state
Massachusetts is not her home state. She is a carpet bagger who took advantage of a weak republican.
“Americans don’t like fakes”
Yet we bought eight years of Obama / Biden. You cannot find two bigger fakes.
Her biggest failure was her inability to seem sincere through all her fakery. That is always the pinnacle talent of the best politicians. People fall for false sincerity all the time — IF it’s done well. See Clinton and Obama.
Pocahonky soon off to political Happy Hunting Ground...
That, and the incessant screeching! People can’t stand to listen to Warren, Hillary, Al Cortez, etc. when they start screeching.
and she’ll never have that recipe again.....
Obama stole that line from Warren.
She pales next to Obama who had every record about his past sealed.
Bill DeBlasio’s real name is Warren Wilhelm.
Bernie Sanders real name is Bernard Gutman.
Pete Buttigeig real name is Paul Montgomery.
If they’re faking their name what else are they faking?
She’s like Jon Cary. Fake, fake, fake, fake.
