WASHINGTON -- Beto O'Rourke tried it. Kamala Harris tried it. Cory Booker tried it. And one by one, they all flamed out. Now, Elizabeth Warren is pitching herself as the Democratic candidate who can unify the party's progressive and moderate wings, a play that could lead her down the same bridge to nowhere, unless her message can quickly find some resonance.
The Massachusetts senator has pleaded with voters not to pick a divisive nominee who risks paving the way for President Donald Trump's re-election, telling a devoted crowd of supporters Tuesday in Manchester, New Hampshire, that she was Democrats' "best chance" of marshaling "a unified party" to the voting booths come November.
At the same time, Warren’s also feeling pressure from outside allies to return to her old “fighter” persona. After her unity-centric message flopped in Iowa and New Hampshire — where Warren finished in third and fourth place behind left-wing favorite Bernie Sanders and moderate upstart Pete Buttigieg — one operative supportive of Warren told NBC they hoped the results would be a “kick in the ass” for a campaign that’s been reluctant to stray from its “uniter” message.
The early-state struggles put Warren in a strategic conundrum that she is delicately navigating. She wants to demonstrate her combative streak as a "fighter" without appearing divisive, lest she undercut her closing pitch that she's uniquely suited to unify the party. In recent days she has taken subtle jabs at her main rivals — Sanders and Buttigieg — while reserving her most aggressive attacks for Michael Bloomberg, the billionaire entrepreneur rising in national polls.
The bifurcated message is a gamble that could attract — or alienate — broad swaths of voters.

That lying gasbag is the very definition of “loser”.
No one cares about her any more (that is, if anyone ever did).
She should go back to her rapidly sinking institution - Harvard.
Liz has 1/1024 of a plan for that!
Shrieking Harpy 2020 was working so well for her.
Liz “Little Wilted Feather”.
Stick a fork in her, she’s done.......................
You win the Internet today!
People who don't hire advisors who provide such crappy advice, who speak plainly and from the heart, who have core convictions are the big winners. Politicians who are so phony that they have to "reinvent" themselves are complete losers. They are constantly pursuing Persona 1 or Persona 2 or Persona 3 and back to Persona 1 in the hope of finding a winning persona. Most normal people see right through this phoniness and are utterly repulsed by it.
Many of us learned in high school why Holden Caulfield hated phonies -- and he was right.
Can you imagine four years of this harridan? OMG!
LOL...right on!
Who am I?
Start there Liz.
Typical leftist lunatic who lives on the public dole (a “professor”) and spews her lunacy 24/7. In addition, she is a chronic liar who disrespects American Indians by asserting that she is a squaw. What a degenerate loser. He worthless husband cuck should have her committed for the good of society.
Faux Indian needs to go home, crack open a 24, and get blitzed
They have communist and socialist wings.
Hmmm. Squaw sound like she be having too much firewater.
This MSM article is nothing more than an open strategy debriefing for the Warren campaign.
Yup, no one cares about Warren because the other woman in the race, Klobuchar, is not as annoying and is a less obvious liar.
I guess having a trans teen vet the Secretary of Education wasn’t the needle-mover she thought it would be?
She’s done... if she can’t show well in NH where she camped out for a year, she’s done... she has the biggest staff of anyone and the big donors know she’s done and won’t send her another nickel... She’s basically a political zombie at this point...
She will lumber on through super Tuesday, hoping for a miracle... that isn’t going to come... maybe try to leverage her support for a VP spot or some other promise.. but she’s done...
