Warren Campaign Obituary: She tried to fake it, but America didn’t buy it: Americans will nominate and elect all sorts of candidates, from the virtuous to the rogue. But Americans don’t like fakes

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.

Being a fake is only a part of the wretch’s problem.

The theory that Americans don’t like fakes can be disproven with one counterexample. Barack Obama.

Warren’s problem is she is not likable, she’s not good at lying, and she hasn’t figured out the right hypnotic cadence for delivering banal platitudes.
