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."

America’s ex-wife’s shrill sister.
She is annoying and her voice sounds like finger nails on a chalkboard and she is a total fake.
“Why didn’t Elizabeth Warren do better?”
Because dimocrat voters are sexist.
Thankfully we will never have to know how many little jackets and sweaters of different colors she has to go with that one black shirt and pants she owns.
> She should have claimed she was Chinese too <
Her fatal mistake was not claiming to be Hispanic once Beto “Irish Bob” O’Rourke dropped out.
She had no sense of humor and kept saying what she thought people wanted to hear instead of just being a decent human being and letting her positions roll from that. She was fake.
Because she’s a horrible shrieking phony ?
Was that a parody from Saturday Night Live? If so, I’m surprised the guy who wrote the skit did not get the third degree for writing while sexist.
Duh.
Main word being PHONY!! American people can see a phony from a mile away!!!
LOL! Not enough arrows in the quiver? Couldn’t ride side saddle? Hillary lite? Dunno Chris Doofus. We could speculate for some time though.
Fixed it.

Oddly enough, I think Warren was a serious threat. Any woman would be. I expected Democratic women to turn out in droves to put the first woman President ever in the White House.
Bobby was unique among Democrat hopefuls because, as a former hacker, he could probably erase an incriminating smartphone without using a hammer.
The DEMs will blame it on GOP voters who crossed over during the primaries, a.k.a. Operation Chaos II. If only GOP voters worked as hard to get quality candidates on the ballot as they seem to do f*cking around with the DEM primaries.
Because she is a liberal hack who doesn’t know anything outside of grift..................
She’s a liar.
Maybe it was about her promising to appoint a transgender teen to her education committee.
“1) She peaked too soon:”
The more we got to know her, the less we liked her????
Whiner.
