16. She peaked early

Feb 2020

She got a lot of buzz just a bit too early, and now the narrative has moved past. The concocted horse race between Biden and Sanders is getting more column inches. Buttigieg's sudden rise in the first couple of primaries and Bloomberg's sudden cashalanche are bigger stories than "Liz Warren keeps doing what she's doing, and doing it well!"

I don't think she's down and out yet, though.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

"Three tickets out of Iowa" JaneQPublic Feb 2020 #4

Yup. The media decided that the voters only wanted ONE progressive and Baitball Blogger Feb 2020 #13

Yes, and they misunderstand "progressive", IMO MH1 Feb 2020 #27

Or does the media want Sanders because they think Trump will defeat him? Lonestarblue Feb 2020 #51

Thx for link. Very important to know. n/t Beartracks Feb 2020 #52

Have either Warren or Sanders actually explained, luvtheGWN Feb 2020 #54

I thought they had, but I could be wrong. alarimer Feb 2020 #71

It should be Warren and Biden at the top fighting it out. Clear lack of judgement. nt UniteFightBack Feb 2020 #7

100% agreed. nt Codeine Feb 2020 #19

This is more less what I thought would happen too. Mike 03 Feb 2020 #60

Warren is the best choice imo and I will wait until Super Tuesday. BeckyDem Feb 2020 #10

Your summary is exactly right DeeDeeNY Feb 2020 #22

AOC endorsed and campaigned for Sanders. Laelth Feb 2020 #14

I think that you have BlueMTexpat Feb 2020 #44

I don't blame you for that one bit. Kudos. Laelth Feb 2020 #46

I think it was when AOC walked in that really weakened Warren's campaign also. krissey Feb 2020 #64

That, I think, is when Warren's numbers started to drop. Laelth Feb 2020 #65

Yes. And it was right after his heart attack, when his number should have been nothing. krissey Feb 2020 #68

I'm surprised that Elizabeth, who famously has a plan for that, didn't BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #23

Also, she's not good at attacking her fellow Democrats. She is a decent soul BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #24

Unless you're corrupt - then she morphs into an assassin. blm Feb 2020 #79

Oh yeah, absolutely. She does save her ire for the right people. BusyBeingBest Feb 2020 #81

Exactly. Nt dflprincess Feb 2020 #76
