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."

A pair of black pants was all she ever wore. One wonders if they were the same pair? At least Hillary mixed up the colors.
Her own state rejected her. As a general rule, if you can’t carry your home state, you can’t carry the country.
1. She’s a liar.
Done.
Mewzilla nailed it yesterday ...
Stella Mudd isnt a good look
BECAUSE DEMOCRATS ARE SEXIST! THIS PROVES IT!!
Or their ex-wife.
Just because the Democrat media ignored her serious character flaws doesn’t mean the Democrat voters have to.
Or mother-in-law.
“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?’”
Don’t women vote?
Since Lizzie claims to be part Indian, she could be Lo-Mein-on-the-totem-pole.
Anyway, what Lizzie is, is a common scold and termagant. An unlikeable combination.
She we tell CNN why Fauxcahontas did so poorly? For me it’s as obvious as the nose on my face.
Both Warren and Bernie were a threat 2016.
It may have simply been Gods Grace that gave us Hillary instead.
God can use evil people too.

Yes, she was a baldfaced and pale-faced liar :- )
So sad to see her go. She brought us a lot of laughs!
She plays by the rules and Bernie is a con artist. Well-behaved women rarely make it into the history books.
A harridan.
Six words: “I have a plan for that.”

Id say the unapologetically feminist part was a big factor, but that had nothing to do with sexism. Feminism is not a good platform. When you are also a frumpy scold and an habitual liar it makes it worse. There was nothing remotely presidential, or even likable about Pocahontas. There are women that people on the right would happily vote for, just not Pocahontas or Shrillary, or any other progressive/socialist feminist harridan.
Maybe because she repeatedly lied?
The black pants should have been leather with some fem-dom chains for effect.
Could turned her entire campaign around.
