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.

Her quiver holds no more arrows. Her head dress is beginning to mold. No one will return her smoke signals. And vultures are circling. She needs to get that pony galloping toward Happy Valley before it kills over with shame.

Back in the day, in the early 1960s, I had a paper route in L.A. (as far west in L.A. and still be on land).

My duties included collecting the subscription payments once a month.

There was a woman on my route who was the spitting image of Liz Warren: Same hair style, same glasses, and always wore a sweater over her blouse. She also had an attitude; kind of a superiority gig (which, when one thinks about it, is not surprising: She was a homeowner and I was a kid delivering papers).

Anyway, she always had B.O.

And that’s what I think of whenever I see Liz Warren: She just looks like a scold who has B.O.

What went wrong with Elizabeth Warren?

She was born? She learned how to talk? She opened her mouth? She exists? Hitlary can’t Arakancide her? Shall we go on?

The media said she was a frontrunner. Nobody can stand her.

A year ago Lieawatha was already a laughingstock and her followers got jeered along with her.

That was supposed to fade with time. Her followers hung in there hoping that there would come a day the happy voting grounds would deliver them a presidential Princess.

The fake Indian consequences never wore off, her name will be punchline forty years from now, and her one time true belivers will bear the brunt of the jokes as well.

Psychojawea will shriek no more forever.
Bury her campaign at DNA’d me.

Pocahontas espoused Marxism lite, same socialist totolitarianism as Bernie but a different number of gulags. However the crazies running the Democratic Party these days want their Marxism pure and undiluted.

“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“

I guess you’ve never heard of New Jersey!

I'll see your Poca-honkey and raise you a Fine-swine and Willie Brown's pump. If Botox Barbara hadn't retired, we'd still have her too!

Being a native of Massachusetts, I lived under the regime of "Splash" Kennedy and Alfred E. Dukakis. Warren may be awful, but she's just not in that category... yet!

I think she made a mistake that many of us women make...

SHE TALKED TOO LONG, TOO LOUD, TOO DESPERATE, TOO MANY PROMISES.

As a result, she went off the rails.
