Elizabeth Warren’s allies claim she’s being ignored by media as they seek to reignite her campaign

A bad month for Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts keeps getting worse. She finished in a respectable third place in the Iowa caucuses, but a results-tallying meltdown muddled what could have been a good evening. New Hampshire was better at logistics but worse for her candidacy, considering she ended up closer to candidates who dropped out after the primary than those who finished on top.

Her staff members and plenty of allies argue that as a result, she is being ignored by the news media and some voters during a pivotal moment in the primary, and she is at risk of becoming less relevant in the nominating process — something her campaign is now trying to reverse.

When her caucus-night speech in Iowa was cut off, her campaign aides complained privately to cable networks. When her speech after the New Hampshire primary was not carried live at all, they took their criticism public.

“Elizabeth hasn’t been getting the same kind of media coverage as candidates she outperformed,” read a recent fundraising email to supporters. “We can’t count on the media to cover our campaign fairly, so we’re taking our case directly to voters.”

Martha Zimmerman and Natalie Buddiga, who attended Warren’s rally in Reno, both said they felt she was being counted out the race too early. But they also admitted to a sense of despair that was quietly setting in.

“I just don’t run into other Elizabeth Warren fans, and I’m always meeting these Bernie die-hards,” said Buddiga, 25, who wore a shirt that read “The Future is Female.”

Zimmerman, 29, a self-described voracious consumer of political media, said the past week had been difficult. While sexism cannot be separated from analysis of Warren’s candidacy, she said, neither could the reality of her performance in New Hampshire.

I agree with your logic on Klobo as VP possibility.

My assessment is that the President will win Minnesota this time (narrowly) regardless.

The reason—the crime situation in Minneapolis/St. Paul has gotten the attention of the MN public—and they don’t want to see it spread to their city or town due to “open borders” and soft on crime Democratic policies.

Klobo would just remind them of who supports these policies—and why MN voters made a mistake putting her in the U.S. Senate.

Somalis were not responsible for the most publicized incident (shown above) but it is a visual reminder of the “hope and change” Democrats have brought to the Twin Cities in the past decade.

By the way I saw this this morning:

Elizabeth Warren addresses the Culinary Workers Union in LV and says: The White House is a mess and “when you’ve got a mess and you really need it cleaned up, you call a woman and get the job done.”

"You have a mess you need a woman to clean it up???? ----

Rather sexist of dear 'Princess Summer Fall Buffalo Gas'.

She had a real bad cold yesterday. She could hardly be understood when she was talking. (that's step 1)

I’m cautiously optimistic he’ll win Minnesota by a larger margin, but we’ll see!
