What Went Wrong for Elizabeth Warren
TIME ^ | March 3, 2020 | BY CHARLOTTE ALTER

Posted on 03/03/2020 1:12:32 PM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

It was the night before Super Tuesday, and Elizabeth Warren was hanging in there. Bernie Sanders had just held a massive Los Angeles rally with Public Enemy, Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar had just dropped out and endorsed Joe Biden, but Warren was doing what she always does: playing the same Motown-inspired soundtrack, handing out the same “Persist” signs, giving another speech that sounded like a history lecture.

Six months ago, when this was all working, Warren was the candidate of the head as well as the heart. Back then, she was widely considered a Democratic frontrunner, and it all made sense: she was a solid progressive but not as radical as Sanders, a woman in a time of feminist uprising, a planner in a time of chaos. She rooted her big speeches in moments of women’s activism, kept things friendly with her rivals in the interests of party unity, and seemed to have a plan for everything. By the laws of logic, she seemed to be doing everything right.

But politics isn’t always logical, and just because something seems like it should work, doesn’t mean that it will. Some campaigns feel like watching a slow-motion car crash, others feel like watching a car drive into a ditch. Warren’s campaign began to seem like watching a car run out of gas in a traffic jam: no big catastrophe, but stalled nonetheless. Now, she’s heading into Super Tuesday with persistence but not momentum, with a plan to stick it out for the long haul even if she doesn’t come in first in any big state. Her campaign has made an art form out of explaining how she can win without winning.

she seemed to be doing everything right

She lied about her race and profited from it. She collapsed when she tried to be too cute by half at dodging the costs of her plan.

Time did its best to promote her with its cover with a pic of her and “Warren has a plan for that.”

She has the personality of a python. That’s why she will not win.

Here’s really what went wrong:

She’s a lying, very flawed, mentally ill juvenile hypocrite

And that’s just for starters

1. She’s very unlikeable
2. She’s a liar.
3. She’s a scold.


Dem candidates are so unlikable they only have one more debate scheduled according to wikipedia.

She’s headache inducing.
Even to the Nazi types in her party.
They prefer Bernie rants.

“with a plan to stick it out for the long haul even if she doesn’t come in first in any big state”

i wonder how well that “plan” will work if she fails to make the 15% threshold in any big state or any state at all?

And The Heavens Cried (Trail Of Tears)
Poem by Spiritwind Wood.

You could see the clouds
rolling across the sky
as the day started to rain
teardrops of blood across the land
lost in their visions of doubt
buried in their pain
white man had all the say
we were left to taciturn
as we watched everything burn
and the heavens cried
on the trail of tears

Persist?

The word reminds me of a bad Ted Kennedy speech - “The cause endures...”

I live in Massachusetts and Elizabeth Warren is awful. We just have a high concentration of awful people that keep her in power. The rest of the country doesn’t have that problem.

She’s a boring, over-bearing, obnoxious tw*t.
