Not even 2 weeks later and this piece has aged horribly, like the guy who drank from the wrong grail in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

It seems like whatever Warren’s candidacy was at some point, turned into another DNC establishment ruse. Go ahead Liz, and peel back votes from Bernie until Biden gets a comfy lead. Then drop out, because we can’t have you on the debate stage either ripping into our hand-picked, presumptive nominee or obviously soft-shoeing your critique of him.

I can’t say I’m surprised that Warren didn’t take her cause all the way to the bitter end, but I have to admit she folded faster than I would have predicted.

Good time to remind people that politicians have a well-earned reputation of being slippery, dishonest and deceitful, and also that Warren herself has undergone a drastic policy transformation over almost any time period you care to look at.

Four years ago she endorsed HRC, the most establishment candidate that ever crawled out from the mud. ~15 years ago she was a conservative. She wrote a book about the decline of the two parent household. 20+ years ago she was a registered republican, a dyed in the wool Reaganite. Who is this lady?

Then starting about two years ago, she took a sharp turn left, and began embracing the wildest fringe elements of the social justice/identity politics tribe, oh and also completely mimicking Bernie’s long-held socialist policies.

Her voters in Massachusetts noticed this abrupt turn, and it explains why she did so poorly in her own state on Super Tuesday, and it’s why I won’t be surprised if she does not fare well in her next election.
