Elizabeth Warren’s campaign brass realized they had bungled her budget at the worst possible time.
Several weeks before the Iowa and New Hampshire elections, they discovered their fundraising projections for the fourth quarter of 2019 were far too rosy. The army of organizers they hired when fundraising and polling were at their peak — it ultimately ballooned to over 1,000 people — had become a straitjacket. Donations nosedived after an Oct. 15 debate, when Warren was bombarded by her rivals.
Strapped for cash, the campaign didn’t have enough money to run the TV and digital ads they had originally planned for early contests

Well, that and the fact she reminds you of the ex-mother-in-law that won't go away.

Maybe she's just an unlikable shrew. As Mini-Mike and JEB!!!! proved, all the money in the world spent on adds can't drag you over the finish line in first place.

Sorry, but 'misallocated resources' ain't what done her in. There was a fundamental lack of talent and ability, an abundance of dishonesty and cringeworthy hypocrisy that caused it. That was the cake, The icing was pure vinegar.If she had this difficulty with people who are already Democrats, consider what might have happened in the general election.. Massachusetts is welcome to her.

And they are CERTAIN that they can run our lives far better than we could possibly run our own lives. Their incompetence is only exceeded by their arrogance.

It's as if the writers can't just get it. Most normal people know that lying about your heritage to get a job and gaming the system excludes you from the Presidency. A little unlikable fiber has a tough row to hoe.

What is it with these people and math? Can't count? Can't budget? Can't add/subtract, etc.?

Liz says, “No problem. I have a plan for that!”

i am reminded of the immortal words of Redd Foxx, who, on Sanford and Son, said, "there ain't nuthin uglier than an old white woman!'
cherokee Lizzie is ugly to the bone. Her soul included.
Fake smiles, stupid selfies, Olive Oyl outfits, fake beer drinking, all represent the artificiality of Lizzie. And that non-stop arm waving...

In other words, she would have won, if not for other people's mistakes.
I guess that's different from Hillary telling everybody that she really did win, before blaming everything on others.

She told so many lies and they were all so obvious. Hillary and Bill have the market cornered on lying and obscuring the truth. Warrens lies were easy to uncover. She bald faced lies about things that were easy to prove as lies. Like her kids went to public school!
Also she shares the zero charisma deficit with Hillary.

There were Warren for President ads running on North Dakota TV stations all day the day she quit the contest for nomination.

One gets the sense that Progressive political analysis is based on promising something free for narrow demographics at the right moment. Appeals to national good have very little to do with the matter. (But always remember, its Capitalists who are greedy.)

Cross a lecturing old librarian with the cranky mean aging lunch lady, add a dose of lying corrupt condescending politician and you get fauxcahontas. You can make all the excuses you want but nobody will vote for that.

First, there was never a Warren collapse. What did she win? If one never wins a thing and never improves, thats not a collapse. Is a non starter. Second, she is a paper Bolshevik that the leftist media created. She has done nothing other than lie to get ahead aas a quota. She hasn't any ideas that are different from Bloshevik Bernie just he asn't lied about his 'minority' status to get rich.

Poster #12, there are ads still running for Warren and Bloomberg in the Seattle area. I think they bought these ads months ago and the networks have to honor the contracts or have to give the money back. That's just what I'm assuming.

She must have thought wearing the same outfit day after day after day after day was cute. Her travel wardrobe fit in her handbag, with her beer.

No big loss. Her arm-flapping ads would have been just as obnoxious as her live arm-flapping.
