Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren dropped out of the 2020 presidential race Thursday, ending a once front-running bid that never achieved its sky-high potential once voting actually began.
Answering the "what happened" question is never a simple thing. Voters make up their minds for lots of different reasons -- some of which they are willing to articulate and some they simply won't. But generally speaking, there seem to be three reasons why Warren didn't get to where she wanted to go.
1) She peaked too soon: If the Iowa caucuses were October 3, Warren could have won going away. National polling around that time captures Warren's summer and early fall surge.
2) She tried to be more than just a liberal: Voters in the two lanes of the Democratic Party have now coalesced around Biden in the center and Sanders on the left.
3) Sexism: This is an indisputable fact: We have had 44 presidents and not one of them has been a woman. Coincidence? Probably not. How much did the fact that Warren is a woman and ran on an unapologetically feminist platform for president affect the outcome? It's almost impossible to know, but it's equally impossible to think it had no role in how voters perceived her.
Asked about the role her gender played in the race on Thursday, Warren responded this way:
"That is the trap question for every woman. If you say yeah, there was sexism in this race, everyone says, 'Whiner.' And if you say no, there was no sexism, about a bazillion women think, 'What planet do you live on?'"
She added that she would "have a lot more to say on that subject later on."

All of the above, plus...that voice. Ugh
It must be an SNL sketch, the guy on the right doesn’t look like Bernie, although I’ve never seen him with combed hair so maybe it is him.
Not always
Because she sucks?
Hahahaha...”Stella Mudd”...good one, mewzilla!!!!
LOL, it HAS to be a comedy sketch. But that is the state we have come to, where it is difficult to tell the difference...
Because of Joe Biden's overpowering charisma and intellect. Nobody else stood a chance.
Because everybody hates her.
Good point.
Warren failed among “her kind”. It’s Democrats (!) who rejected her in favor of old rich white men. She was exactly what the Democrat Party professes to want - and when called to put up or shut up, they shut her up. Her proposals were not meaningfully more or less extreme than B & B’s. Near as I can discern (having not watched any debates) she was on par with the leading candidates.
And that right there is why Mass wouldn’t even vote for her. So why should anybody else give her the time of day?
Because she’s a phony.
Is that really grey beaver in the gif?
Because, as Jesse Waters said the other night, “Warren is the most annoying person I think I’ve ever seen on television. She’s intolerable.”
In addition to being annoying and intolerable, she is a screechy, noxious, venomous, LIEberal harridan!

Why didn’t Elizabeth Warren do better?
Maybe it’s because she’s an annoying, lying, left-wing bitch who claimed she’s an Indian when she’s whiter than the snow that falls in Massachusetts in winter?
Why didn’t Elizabeth Warren do better? Because she’s a bitch, Jim. And a serial liar. And completely dishonest.
Because she’s a lying, fascist wh*re?
no white woman called Pocahontas is going to be president in my lifetime
