Elizabeth Warren, the senator from Massachusetts who promised to deliver “big, structural change” and vigorously fight corruption, will end her presidential bid Thursday after a series of devastating primary results crippled her once-promising campaign.

She was due to inform her staff Thursday, a person familiar with her plans said.

Warren, 70, entered the Democratic Party race in February 2019 after months of anticipation and quickly built a formidable organization. She eschewed large-dollar fundraisers, often saying that defeating President Trump would take a true grass-roots movement.

Warren at times electrified voters and attracted big crowds, and at several points she seemed a good bet to win the nomination. She turned in powerful debate performances, issued dozens of policy proposals and was an impassioned, efficient campaigner.

Every divorced man in America just breathed a sigh of relief. Including me.

Yep, hearing my ex-wife's voice every day would be torture. I would rather be in Gitmo forced to listen to Yoko Ono records 24/7.

[Captain Peter Blood]

So she didn’t endorse Biden.

[Salvation]

Ditto!

10/10 Schadenfreude day for we sane voters of the Commonwealth!

Guess who’s the youngster in this presidential race!

They’re all running to be Bye-done’s VP pick. They know he won’t last long if he gets elected.

I pray he never gets close, but if he get's elected, I predict he'll be the first to be removed, for mental problems, under The 25th Amendment.

[I want the USA back]

Goodbye to the angry attack dog.

[plain talk]

No surprise here. Did anyone actually believe she would continue after the Super Tuesday results?

[RoseofTexas]

She must’ve had any awesome 7 figure payoff (Bloomberg) and some very HUGH perks(DNC)!

[IronJack]

You can hear the WaPo weeping about this latest development. They were Lizzie’s cheerleaders.

Guess they’ll have to be Biden’s sideline squad now. I doubt they’ll endorse Bolshevik Bernie.

Her Presidential aspiration ended the day she entered “Native American” on her Harvard app.

Darn it... I wanted to see the White Tipi with Cherokee artifacts! 😋

“what I like most about Elizabeth Warren is her honesty”

...Wapo comments section.

[Leep]

yeah, she is honestly nuts!

[Leep]

Yep, like hillary ...she did herself in.

The DNC is setting up running a different person than Biden or Sanders. It’s all coming together. Quite remarkable how they are pulling it off.

Six ways from Sunday. Everyone has a heart plug you know

The DNC is setting up running a different person than Biden or Sanders.

It'll be like October 2002 when the corrupt Democrats replaced Torricelli (who wasn't doing well in the polls) with Lautenberg in early October for a November 5th election for U.S. Senator. Musical chairs until they get a candidate they think can win, and if that doesn't work just manipulate the recounts until you get the result you want.

With the Democrats anything goes: "No rules, just wrong" to mangle Outback's tagline.
