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.

Have you ever seen three more anti-social, con-artist people than Warren, Bernie, and Kamel Harass?

Yes, every time I see her, I picture her in a black uniform as commandant of a re-education labor camp. It’s probably her dream job. She is possible even screechier and less charming than Hillary, which is a hard thing to accomplish.

She came in 3rd in Massachusetts and her home state of Oklahoma. That is how awful she is.

I was wondering if anybody was going to mention that. Third in her own state! If she does not concede after tonight then she is only in to siphon votes off Bernie.

Remember that Community Chest card that says "Win 10$ for second place in a beauty contest"? . Warren gets that card when she is the only contestant!

As my teacher used to say, “Let’s start at the beginning”.

SHE WAS BORN and it’s been downhill ever since.

@. Re “But she does have high cheekbones”. Well, after my bout with cancer and resulting weight loss so do I, on my butt. Does that make me an Indian? I also have a cup of tea on my desk. The result will be a need to pee. Does that constitute my Indian heritage-to-be, a teepee?

Now come to think of it, Warren does represent Assachusetts. Hmmm. Fhayek, you might have something there. Well, put a feather in her hair and call her Fauxchohantas!

After these primaries, her not-so-favorite movies will be “Broken Arrow”, “Blazing Saddles”, and “Sacajewa the Movie”, aka, “Sac It To Me”.

#46. You described some of the attributes of my late mother-in-law (may she have forgotten her asbestos underwear), except that she wasn’t a socialist. She was more like a cross between a Ferengi (living by the “Laws of Acquisition”) and Genghis Khan, even with a moustache of sorts.

Her life motto was “Acquire and Conquer”. Even the devil is afraid of her. She’s been trying to air condition Hell for decades and just might succeed in this era of Sanders/Warren/AOC/the Squat and Guam tipping over due to too many troops on it.

#57. Re Massachusetts and Warren. We just have a high concentration of awful people that keep her in power...I guess you’ve never heard of New Jersey”.

NJ is the turd of Massachusetts trickle-down theory.
