Elizabeth Warren may not even win her own state tomorrow. Though a recent Boston Globe/WBZ TV/Suffolk University poll shows Warren neck-and-neck with Bernie Sanders in Massachusetts, FiveThirtyEight’s polling average shows Bernie Sanders with a five-point lead overall, and Warren’s lack of an obvious lead does not portend great things for her candidacy. Second place would be an ignominious result for Warren, and yet it would be her highest finish of the primary. Massachusetts remains the only Super Tuesday state that Warren could feasibly win. There is one way for the senator to preserve her dignity while advancing the progressive cause she espouses,

Why? She doesn't have dementia! She doesn't have a bad heart ! She has always been a Democrat.

They'll have to offer her the VP slot - - to get her to drop out - - - - just as they've already offered it to Buttigieg, Klobuchar, Hildabeast, and countless others.
Too bad Zero Mostel isn't still around - - to manage this buffoonish remake of The Producers.

The writer refers to Warren’s ‘generous policies’ as if the spoils she’s offering to the proletariat were coming out of her own pocket. The debates reminded me of a demented game show where all the good prizes go to illegal immigrants or transgenders. Warren is no slouch at this game but Sanders beats her out with the impression he gives that his own man bunned IQ challenged followers will actually be in charge. Best for her to quit now while she can still stalk the cable news shows and claim it’s because she’s a woman.

She is a pathological liar. Every time she opens her mouth she spews out lies. Time to go.

The DNC is probably encouraging her to stay, so she will continue to strip votes from Bernie.
She is probably staying on the chance that Bernie drops dead from a heart attack during one of his old man angry rants. All of his voters would likely slide over to her.

She always reminded me of the archetypical snotty obnoxious girl in high school with the straight “A’s” nobody liked. The one that oozed insincerity when it came to relating to others. I wouldn’t trust anything Warren says.

There is one and only one cause the Senator espouses. And that is Elizabeth Warren. What's dignity got to do with it?

Here's a question. Why is she staying in when all the others are dropping out? It may be sheer cussedness: she just refuses to buckle under pressure from the Dem establishment. And I gather that she truly hates Bloomberg; it's always hard to tell with her because she is a Liar, a Cheat and a Fraud. It may be a kingmaker ploy: she intends to deprive Bernie of just enough delegates to prevent a first ballot win. But she is the closet socialist, while Bernie is the out-and-proud socialist. So it may be an establishment gambit: the Dem elites want her to stay in and drain votes from Bernie to keep him from 1,991 (or whatever the heck the number is) and they will provide her all the campaign funds necessary.

She wants the VP slot. She knows that the "diverse" Democrat Party's nominee will be an old white guy, so a non-white, non-guy must be the VP.

#10, for that reason Kamala Harris will be the VP candidate no matter which "old white guy" wins the nomination.

She can drop out after today and have control of the few delegates she wins. That is a more powerful situation than dropping out with basically nothing.

She needs to drop off her high horse just like those other 'Injuns' (Mexican stand-ins, really) in those old Saturday afternoon Westerns on TV.

One of PDJT's first actions as President was to eliminate the regulations strangling business. A good deal of them were created by Warren's brainchild, the Consumer Protection Board. No one has forgotten this, and are loathe to let her anywhere near the reins of power again.

But with all the recent drop outs, she might even manage a fourth place finish in today's contests. And if she can get the other three to agree to drop out, she might even win the thing!

The DNC needs her to drain votes from the other Socialist candidate. She'll be in the race as long as Bolshevik Bernie is.

So the dims are seeking an alternative such as Chris Coons, or Michelle Obama. Oh please. The jokes will write themselves. Lying Lizzie will stay on the Warpath like the knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. She has no shame.

I think it's funny that the article suggests that Warren's working class supporters can be transferred over to Socialist Sanders. They are far more likely to go to Biden, or stay home, or even vote for Trump. It's like the authors, obviously in love with Bernie, think there is no choice ahead but Socialism.
I would like to see Warren hang in there because she is the last pit bull willing to go after Sanders and Bloomberg and that has high entertainment value. But realistically, she's toast. She would make a terrible president so no great loss.

Who is Eliz. Warren. I have paid no attention at all to the dems. Quit listening to Rush because that is all he talks about. A waste of time.
Word of advice Rush. Retire. Get a yacht and spend time with your wife. Nobody cares about democrats.
Take care of yourself and enjoy remaining days.
I enjoy Lucianne and four other sites. About it. Takes about one hour now per day to go through the news.
I watch no news, it is so booooooorrrrring about the democrats.

Will never happen. UNLESS someone offers her something big time in the winner's administration. Such is her moral compass.

How freaking hilarious. I just walked through Central Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts... These nice young boys were hanging onto their Bernie posters... I explained, "I'm the only Republican in Cambridge" to which he responded "No, there are a few dozen..." LOL. Nice guy but deluded. Anyway. She doesn't have a following here in MA that I'm aware of... If I were to p;ace a bet, I'd say she loses her home state.

I think she is standing in the breach in the event that either the Commie or the Weak Mind will clutch their chests and drop (either one or both) where she could then step in and Nanny the Living Daylights Out Of US EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY FOR 8 YEARS!!! Ohhhhh... Sweet liberal warmth runs up my spine...sarc now off!!! Imagine her meeting Putin in a sweet sweet short pink jacket from Kmart? So cool! Putin would throw her in the Gulag after 10 minutes of "ideas" for the Soviet Union!
