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."

I blame democracy.
OK you win!!!
She did not do better because she is a nasty, shrill, shrewish, malignant b1tch, sort of a mini-Hillary. Most men could not support her because she reminded them of how nasty and unwholesome some of their ex-girlfriends were/are. Those men knew, if they said, “Sorry, I cannot vote for her!”, they would be pilloried. They held their tongues but when election day came, they voted for one of the lesser of the four evils.
Warren getting out will be a big blow to all of those transgender illegal aliens that just wanted a brighter future.
Take a picture of your favorite crone, tape it to a blackboard, then run your fingernails up and down the blackboard. That may explain it.
If they can, it doesn't stop them from voting for them. They elected bronco bombuh and bill clinton, after all.
How can it be "indisputable' when it's not even knowable?
I guess that's one risk of spouting cliches. Sooner or later they collide.
Because some people realize that there are other issues more important than the fact that someone has tits and a vagina.
She was moving around so much I couldn’t tell for sure, and he looked too squared away, but...I have trouble, because I watch so little video of candidates that I am probably less familiar with them in video-pictures I can get...:)

Besides a history of lying in a criminal fashion ??
Apparatchiks will be Apparatchiks ...

why?
there is no there there
Gray Beaver is a pandering phony and an Al Gore level buffoon. She was caught in many lies about herself—being Cherokee, being fired because she was pregnant, being sexually harassed by a man in a wheelchair.
She also pandered in outrageously laughable ways—such as vowing to protect the rights of transgendered illegal aliens (LMAO) and swearing that a transgendered child will have a say in who her Secretary of Education is.
This kind of stuff is so RIDICULOUS, how can anyone take Gray Beaver seriously? She lost because she deserved to lose, she’s an absolute MORON!!!!!
How much did the fact that Warren is a woman and ran on an unapologetically feminist platform
Liar and Deceiver never made the list?
Possibly because she is an absolute nitwit and disgusting idiot???
Democrats don’t like women or native Americans.

It's true. Stalin, Warren's political alter ego in history, was not given to great oratory. I hear he was rather soft-spoken in public. Nonetheless, people in his Soviet Union seemed to telepathically understand the meaning of his "suggestions".
Shostakovich even recorded the mood of Stalin's time in his music (8th symphony).
Warren should recheck her DNA test results. I suspect her blood line contains a far greater strain of Stalinista than Cherokee.
