Failed presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) began her political career – and her campaign – decrying the reliance on Super PACS, “dark money,” and allowing billionaires to buy politicians.
Once her campaign started flailing, however, she reversed her position on all these past statements. She still claimed she wanted money out of politics, it was just that she needed more money to get to a position of power where she could tell other people they couldn’t raise too much money from specific people.
Now the Super PAC that popped up in the waning days of her campaign has filed its financial disclosure, and The Intercept’s Glenn Greenwald has gone through it and found that a single donor provided almost all of the funding for Persist PAC.
“Elizabeth Warren’s SuperPAC has finally filed its disclosure. The vast majority of its money &#8211; $14.5 million &#8211; came from a single donor: Karla Jurvertson, a super-rich Silicon Valley funder who had previously donated to the DNC on behalf of Warren’s campaign,” Greenwald reported on Twitter.
This same donor previously gave the Democratic National Committee a check for $100,000, which she demanded be used to aid Warren, specifically.
“The Warren campaigned had previously obtained a $100k donation to the DNC to allow it access to a valuable database, so it’s not as if <a href="https://twitter.com/ewarren">@ewarren</a> can credibly claim this SuperPAC donor &#8211; who donated almost $15 million in dark money &#8211; was some stranger,” Greenwald continued, pointed to a July 2019 Buzzfeed <a href="https://t.co/QDmBYtRq9Q?amp=1">article</a> that showed Warren’s campaign reached out to a major donor to give the money to the DNC so the campaign could access a major voter database.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Warren herself did not reach out to Jurvertson, which allowed her to claim she didn’t violate her pledge not to allow big donors to pay for access. As Buzzfeed’s Ruby Cramer said at the time, however, the donation “risks putting [Warren] at odds with the spirit, if not the letter, of her pledge.
Greenwald further reported that Karla Jurvertson is married to venture capitalist Stephen Jurvetson, who was “an early investor in Elon Musk’s Tesla and SpaceX.” Karla is one the board of Emily’s List, a prominent Democrat fundraising organization that helped produce smear ads against Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
“Why didn’t Karla Jurvetson just say all along she was the one pouring almost $15m of dark money into Warren’s SuperPAC? Why disclose it only once it no longer matters? Is Warren going to denounce Jurvetson for doing this &amp; refuse future donations? Is <a href="https://twitter.com/emilyslist">@emilyslist</a>
good with this?” Greenwald asked.
“So basically, <a href="https://twitter.com/ewarren">@ewarren</a> — who mocked ‘wine cave funderaisers [sic]’ — had her campaign crash when it was running on the fumes of venture capitalist oligarch wealth, delivered in the form of $14.5m dark money SuperPAC contributions from a single donor. Sounds like the right ending,” Greenwald continued.

As The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/now-that-shes-losing-elizabeth-warren-rethinks-ban-on-super-pac-cash">reported</a>, Warren only changed her stance on accepting money from big donors once she started losing. She defended her obvious hypocrisy by saying she was doing it because no other Democrat listened to her – which itself was a damning indictment of her ability to lead.
“So, here’s where I stand. If all the candidates want to get rid of super PACs, count me in. I’ll lead the charge,” Warren said. “But that’s how it has to be. It can’t be the case that a bunch of people keep them and only one or two don’t.”

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) bashed President Trump on Thursday morning for a tweet in which the president defended himself for not immediately invoking wartime measures, despite signing an order approving such emergency actions. 
“President Trump, are your eyes stitched shut?” asked Warren in a tweet. “Hospitals need test kids, ventilators, &amp; other medical supplies. That’s why the [Defense Production Act] exists. Stop dragging your feet &amp; burying your head &amp; start helping hospitals that are about to be slammed by this pandemic.”
According to <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-signed-defense-production-act-case/story?id=69670828">ABC News</a>, Trump’s tweet was a response to the previous day’s executive order, which grants the president emergency authority to tell industries what they need to produce to support the national defense. 
But when Warren called on Trump to immediately invoke emergency authority, the former Democratic presidential candidate also blurred the word “Chinese” from the original tweet, which references the coronavirus strain that has caused a global pandemic as the “Chinese Virus.”
“I only signed the Defense Production Act to combat the Chinese Virus should we need to invoke it in a worst case scenario in the future. Hopefully there will be no need, but we are all in this TOGETHER,” said the president. 
The tweet showing Warren’s response features the word “Chinese” blurred from Trump&#8217;s original message.

As <a href="https://www.southampton.ac.uk/news/2020/03/covid-19-china.page">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported, a study from the University of Southampton has estimated that China could have reduced the global infection rate of coronavirus had the communist regime enacted public health measures sooner. 
“If interventions in the country could have been conducted one week, two weeks, or three weeks earlier,” says the study, “cases could have been reduced by 66 percent, 86 percent and 95 percent respectively – significantly limiting the geographical spread of the disease.”
According to <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-51403795">The BBC</a>, Dr. Li Wenliang, an ophthalmologist who was the first person to warn Chinese doctors about coronavirus, was investigated by Chinese state police for his actions. Wenliang has since died from the virus. 
Warren’s decision to blur the word “Chinese” comes as many media outlets and pundits have chosen to condemn the president for invoking China when discussing the outbreak — a national emergency that <a href="https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html">Johns Hopkins University’s Coronavirus Resource Center</a> says has resulted in 17,402 Americans testing positive as of Friday afternoon. 
In an news article published on Wednesday, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/18/us/politics/china-virus.html">The New York Times</a> described the president’s use of the word “China” amidst “growing criticism.”
“The term has angered Chinese officials and a wide range of critics, and China experts say labeling the virus that way will only ratchet up tensions between the two countries, while resulting in the kind of xenophobia that American leaders should discourage,” reported the news agency. 
On the same day, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/18/opinions/trumps-malicious-use-of-chinese-virus-filipovic/index.html">CNN</a> published an op-ed saying the president was “maliciously” invoking the term “Chinese virus” to generate racial animus and hostility toward Chinese people and away from himself. 
“When Donald Trump wants to rally his base and distract from his many screw-ups, he falls back on one thing: xenophobic racism. It looks like members of his administration have picked up this dirty trick … This President isn’t acting out of ignorance; he’s acting out of malice … in the midst of the crisis, we need … a whole lot less of the presidential fecklessness and Trump Team racism that puts us all at greater risk,” wrote Jill Filipovic in an op-ed for the news agency.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has yet to issue an endorsement in the race for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination &#8212; something she was largely expected to do upon dropping out of the race herself &#8212; and she says that&#8217;s because she&#8217;s been far too busy saving the United States from the effects of coronavirus.
Appearing remotely on the The View on Thursday, Warren said she&#8217;s just &#8220;too focused&#8221; on the coronavirus crisis to think deeply about the two men still in the running for the nod.
&#8220;So, actually, I have been focused on this crisis,&#8221; Warren said. &#8220;You know, I think Bernie needs space to decide what he wants to do next, and he should be given the space to do that. Right now, I’m focused on what we’re going to do next in this crisis around the coronavirus. We talked in the last segment a lot about the health parts of it. But we also — it’s not too early to start talking about the economic impact of this.&#8221;
&#8220;What it means that so many small businesses have now shut down, what it means that big businesses are shuttering their doors, how many people are unemployed, how many people are going to get one more paycheck or two more paychecks and that’s going to be it for a while,&#8221; Warren went on. &#8220;And how as a country we’re going to weather not just the storm directly from the virus, the physical health, but our economic health as well. So that’s where I’m really keeping my attention right now and I hope we can talk about the details of that.&#8221;
Warren has been pressing the economic platform from her presidential campaign as a solution to the economic repercussions of a nationwide coronavirus-related shutdown, and has said that no relief package will be complete unless it includes protections for those paying off student loans. Ideally, Warren says, she&#8217;d like a complete student loan bailout, alongside bailouts of the airline and entertainment industries.
&#8220;Warren said for now she wants to raise Social Security and disability payments as well as forgive student loans to alleviate the financial burden on people affected by the coronavirus,&#8221; <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/03/19/elizabeth-warren-hasnt-endorsed-biden-sanders-focusing-coronavirus/2878415001/">USA Today reports</a>.
That said, Warren is now weeks out of her departure from the presidential race and, unlike many of her former competitors, has resisted issuing an endorsement, despite clear evidence that former Vice President Joe Biden is the likely nominee. Although Warren agrees more forcefully with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on a number of policy issues, the vast majority of Democratic bigwigs are throwing their support behind what is, arguably, the &#8220;consensus&#8221; pick for the nomination.
Warren may be waiting out the possibility of being offered the &#8220;vice president&#8221; slot on the ticket &#8212; Joe Biden is now famously locked into selecting a female running mate, thanks to a pledge made on the fly in the last presidential debate &#8212; or she may be looking to peddle her position for influence within the party (though she has only a handful of delegates and did not win a single primary contest).

Elizabeth Warren Is Too Busy Handling Coronavirus To Issue A Presidential Endorsement

The following is satirical.
As the mighty herds of buffalo have left the great plains of her ancestors, Elizabeth Warren has left her campaign to become the first fake Native American president. Warren buried her heart and announced she would fight no more forever as she walked away in a trail of tears and other Native American cliches.
Left-wing pundits and other wastes of God’s precious gift of life blamed Warren’s defeat on the fact that she was a woman. On Knucklehead Row, the op-ed section of the New York Times, a former newspaper, editor-in-chief Blithering Prevarication the Third wrote a stinging column headlined, “Now I Will Lie in Order to Promote Identity Politics.” The headline was later changed when the editors realized Mr. Third had just written that as a joke in a whimsical moment of truth-telling.
The op-ed read in part, “It’s true that at one point Democrat voters made Warren their frontrunner. But rampant sexism changed all that when she announced her unworkable and unaffordable healthcare plan and voters suddenly realized that women can’t do math or use reason. This disgusting prejudice has to stop so that a person without the ability to reason can become president. Otherwise, we’re just going to keep electing Republicans.”
Other Democrat pundits lamented that we now probably won’t get a female president in their lifetime. When it was pointed out that Nikki Haley could win the presidency in 2024, Democrats objected that Haley was not a woman but a Republican. Then they retired behind closed doors to change the rules so that Tulsi Gabbard couldn’t get into the next debate.
Asked about the matter of sexism, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said, “When people refer to me as the most powerful woman on earth, it almost makes me cry. That’s that cackling noise you hear when I am locked in the bathroom, dancing around the blood-drenched sacrifice with which I offered my soul to Satan in return for all this wonderful, wonderful power.”

Looking to unload after a resounding electoral rejection, former campaign staffers for Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) have been publicly blasting Alex Thompson, the Politico correspondent tasked with covering Warren’s presidential campaign, for not adequately cheerleading the senator’s presidential run. 
“Some Warren campaign staffers don’t have a good understanding of campaign journalism,” said Thompson in a tweet thread Saturday morning. “Not my job to ‘actively support the candidate that you were assigned.’ It is my job to contact as many [people] as possible rather than just rely on what the campaign wants to give me.”
Thompson then provided screenshots of public tweets he’s received from several former Team Warren staffers, including two ex-staffers telling him to “eat sh*t” — albeit one of them used the poop emoji instead of spelling it out.

“Throw the whole man away,” said one ex-staffer, attaching a Gif of a person being tossed into a dumpster. 
After Thompson sent an open tweet Friday asking for stories from the campaign, another ex-staffer replied with “somebody come get this man,” an online reference that means somebody is out of line. 
Another staffer proceeded to inform Thompson about exactly what she thought went wrong with the campaign. 
“[H]ere’s what went wrong, Alex, and I’ll tell you because I have nothing left to lose: media outlets/reps LIKE YOU chose to drive the narrative by reporting only on the struggles, rather than successes,” said another ex-staffer. “You never had any intention of actively supporting the candidate.”
“F***ING ELEVATE HER GODDAMN THOROUGHLY-RESEARCHED AND EXPERT-BACKED POLICY PROPOSALS U F***ING TROLL,” exclaimed the staffer in a separate tweet. 
Kristen Orthman, Warren’s communication director, was forced to issue a public ‘reminder’ tweet about what doesn’t constitute appropriate behavior. 
“I understand being upset. I am too. But inappropriate language toward other campaigns or the press is never what our campaign or [Elizabeth Warren] is about. Let’s keep the fight focused on the issues,” said Orthman.

New York Magazine journalist Yashar Ali, who previously worked for Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) when he was mayor of San Francisco, noted an interesting fact about former Warren staffers going off on a reporter. 
“I’ve lost campaigns and been angry but find it interesting that *some* Warren staffers who complain about abusive tweets from Bernie supporters are now tweeting in a similar fashion,” remarked Ali.

According to <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/06/joe-biden-bernie-brothers-twitter-123310">Politico</a>, former Vice President Joe Biden told donors on Friday that he was anticipating that some Bernie supporters would run a negative campaign against him, except he referred to them as “Bernie Brothers” instead of the colloquial “Bernie Bros.”
“What we can’t let happen is let this primary become a negative bloodbath,&#8221; said Biden, reports the news agency. &#8220;I know I’m going to get a lot of suggestions on how to respond to what I suspect will be an increasingly negative campaign that the Bernie brothers will run. But we can’t tear this party apart and re-elect Trump. We have to keep our eyes on the ball, in my view.”

Bernie supporters hoping to see Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) endorse their favorite candidate to defeat former Vice President Joe Biden might have to wait a long while. As Warren exited the presidential race on Thursday, she ripped into Sen. Bernie Sanders&#8217; (I-VT) army of online trolls (a.k.a. Bernie Bros) and tacitly blamed her &#8220;friend&#8221; and colleague for the abuse she received.
&#8220;It&#8217;s not just about me, I think it&#8217;s a real problem, with online bullying and organized nastiness. And I&#8217;m not just talking about people who said mean things. I&#8217;m talking about some really ugly stuff that went on,&#8221; Warren told MSNBC&#8217;s Rachel Maddow, as reported by <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/03/06/elizabeth-warren-condemns-bullying-bernie-sanders-supporters/4972959002/">USA Today</a>.
Warren then recalled some of the abuse that she received as well as the abuse that several women who worked for her campaign and other organizations endorsing her received.
&#8220;Out in Nevada,  when Unite Here [union] had put out an analysis of the different candidates and their views on healthcare and other issues, and some of the Bernie supporters online took exception to it,&#8221; explained Warren. &#8220;They actually published the home numbers and phone addresses of the two women, the executive director and the communications director, women of color, immigrant women, and really put them in fear for their families. These are tough women, tough women who run labor organizing campaigns and have really earned their union jobs. And yet, they said for the first time, because of this onslaught of online threats, they felt really under attack.&#8221;
While not explicitly blaming Bernie Sanders for this abuse, Warren did say that candidates do share some responsibility for what their supporters do online.
&#8220;I think there is a fundamental question of what goes on online and where those lines are, and how much each of us, and I want to say this for all the candidates: We are responsible for the people who claim to be our supporters and do really threatening ugly dangerous things two other candidates,&#8221; exclaimed Warren.
&#8220;And it&#8217;s a particular problem with Sanders supporters?&#8221; asked Maddow.
&#8220;It is. It&#8217;s just a factual question. It is,&#8221; responded Warren.

Elizabeth Warren ended her failed presidential campaign on Wednesday after staying in the race through Super Tuesday despite having no pathway to victory and the fact that Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Mayor Pete Buttigieg dropped out and immediately endorsed Joe Biden. President Trump and others have argued that Warren intentionally stayed in through Super Tuesday to sabotage Sanders&#8217; chances. Given the fact she has yet to give him an endorsement, it is clear that the two share some bad blood.
&#8220;So selfish for Elizabeth Warren to stay in the race,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1235176283740524546?s=20">tweeted</a> Wednesday morning. &#8220;She has Zero chance of even coming close to winning, but hurts Bernie badly. So much for their wonderful liberal friendship. Will he ever speak to her again? She cost him Massachusetts (and came in third), he shouldn’t!&#8221;
&#8220;The Democrat establishment came together and crushed Bernie Sanders, AGAIN! Even the fact that Elizabeth Warren stayed in the race was devastating to Bernie and allowed Sleepy Joe to unthinkably win Massachusetts,&#8221; he later added. &#8220;It was a perfect storm, with many good states remaining for Joe!&#8221;

Poor Elizabeth Warren. When she dropped out of the 2020 race for the Democratic presidential nomination this week, she didn&#8217;t know that she was killing the chance of a female president &#8220;in our lifetimes.&#8221;
The Massachusetts Democrat, who was once the frontrunner for the nomination but plunged in the polls after the debates, sat down with MSNBC&#8217;s Rachel Maddow on Thursday to talk about her imploded campaign. Maddow waxed poetic about the greater significance of Warren&#8217;s departure from the race.
&#8220;I&#8217;d like to ask you about the elephant in the room, which is a conversation you&#8217;ve had a number of ways and you talked about it eloquently today&#8230; I think that a lot of women around the country right now feel differently about you dropping out,&#8221; Maddow opened.
&#8220;You leaving the race feels different. If Hillary Clinton can&#8217;t win when she gets the nomination and you can&#8217;t get the nomination and neither can Kamala Harris, and neither can Amy Klobuchar, and neither can Kirsten Gillibrand. I mean, I think part of what&#8217;s going on today is women around the country are like, &#8216;OK, honestly!&#8217; If it&#8217;s not going to be any of them, let&#8217;s get real. Is it just that it can&#8217;t be any woman ever?&#8217; Are we just going to run, you know, white men in their late 70s against each other, both parties and that&#8217;s all we can agree to do?&#8221;
But wait, Maddow had even more to say.
&#8220;I think there&#8217;s a feeling that your campaign ending is very specific to you and it also feels a little bit like a death knell in terms of the prospects of having a woman president in our lifetimes,&#8221; Maddow said.
Warren gasped, saying, &#8220;Oh God, please no. That can&#8217;t be right.&#8221;
&#8220;You know what I&#8217;m talking about,&#8221; Maddow said.
&#8220;I know exactly what you&#8217;re talking about&#8221; Warren said. &#8220;This cannot be the right answer.&#8221;
Warren failed to win a single state on Super Tuesday and came in third in her own home state. In dropping out, Warren said she could no longer see a clear path forward to the nomination (ya&#8217; think?).
Asked Thursday by a reporter at a press conference about the fact that Democratic voters are now “left with two white men to decide between” — Sen. Bernie Sanders, 78, a socialist from Vermont, and former vice president Joe Biden, 77 — Warren said that is what she will agonize over the most.
“One of the hardest parts of this,” Warren said, her voice choking with emotion, “is all those pinky promises and all those little girls who are going to have to wait four more years.”
“That’s going to be hard,” she said.
Back to Maddow. She had one more lengthy speech to make.
&#8220;I&#8217;m 46. I am a professional. I live in New England. I have an advanced degree. You have a lot of people who have a lot of different stripes support you around the country but, like, I&#8217;m your stripe,&#8221; Maddow said to Warren. &#8220;Like, my marching orders is your bullseye. And as such, I have been hearing all day today from people who I know &#8230; women who are just bereft. They&#8217;re telling me they can&#8217;t get off the couch. And these are not people who were working on your campaign or people who are particularly involved in politics, but there is something about your fight and your qualifications and your qualifications indeed in comparison to the people who are still in&#8230; it was inspiring and now it feels crushing.&#8221;
President Trump was asked if sexism was a factor in Warren being forced to pull out of the race and whether he believes he will see a female president in his lifetime. 
&#8220;No, I think lack of talent was her problem. She had a tremendous lack of talent. She was a good debater, she destroyed Mike Bloomberg very quickly, like it was nothing, that was easy for her. But people don&#8217;t like her. She&#8217;s a very mean person and people don&#8217;t like her. People don&#8217;t want that. They like a person like me, that&#8217;s not mean,&#8221; Trump said.

Rachel Maddow Speaks At Harvard

WATCH: Maddow Tells Warren Her Exit From Race Was ‘Death Knell’ For ‘Woman President In Our Lifetimes’

Rachel Maddow

Though one female candidate remains in the 2020 presidential race, the contest has really come down to three 70-something males. The Democrats&#8217; dream of electing the first female President of the United States has died a painful death this week as both Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) faced the reality that they&#8217;d failed to gain any national traction. Though Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) remains in the race, she&#8217;s tracking <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/president/us/2020_democratic_presidential_nomination-6730.html">below 2%</a> in the national Democratic polls and has acquired only one delegate. What was once the &#8220;most diverse&#8221; field of Democratic presidential candidates is now down to two elderly straight white men.
After announcing that she was officially ending her campaign on Thursday, Warren was asked about the role of gender in the election, and made clear that she believes sexism certainly played a role in her demise.
&#8220;Gender in this race, you know, that is the trap question,&#8221; said Warren <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/elizabeth-warren-dropping-out-of-presidential-race-after-disappointing-super-tuesday-finish/">told</a> reporters Thursday. &#8220;If you say, &#8216;Yeah, there was sexism in this race,&#8217; everyone says, &#8216;Whiner!&#8217; And if you say, &#8216;No, there was no sexism,&#8217; about a bajillion women think, &#8216;What planet do you live on?'&#8221;
Asked about the issue during a press conference Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) agreed with Warren that &#8220;misogyny&#8221; is part of the reason that the 2020 election will not result in a female president.
&#8220;But I do think that there is a certain element of misogyny that is there,&#8221; Pelosi told reporters. &#8220;And some of it isn&#8217;t really mean-spirited, it just isn&#8217;t their experience. But any of them will tell you they had a strong mom, they had strong sisters, they have strong daughters, but, but, they have their own &#8230; insecurities.&#8221;
Blaze Media&#8217;s Jason Howerton tweeted out a clip of the moment that has gone viral:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Nancy Pelosi:
Part of the reason we won&#39;t have a woman president in 2020 is because our voters are misogynist.

Pelosi&#8217;s blaming of misogyny on the male-headlined 2020 election has prompted a flood of responses, particularly from the right, with many conservatives pointing out what Pelosi, like Warren, just implied about Democratic voters.
One of those conservatives who weighed in on Pelosi&#8217;s &#8220;misogyny&#8221; comment was counselor to the president and the first female to run a successful presidential campaign, Kellyanne Conway, who helpfully finished the thought for the Democrat leader.
&#8220;If true that Elizabeth Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris &amp; Amy Klobuchar lost &#8216;because they are women&#8217;, then the [Democrats] aren’t just hapless, they’re sexist. These women lost among Democrat voters in Democrat primaries &amp; caucuses.&#8221;
Conway then made clear where she stands on the question of why Warren, Gillibrand, Harris and Klobuchar&#8217;s campaigns ultimately flopped: &#8220;Pro tip: it wasn’t their gender,&#8221; she added.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

A few other responses to Howerton&#8217;s post: 
&#8220;No, honey. America won&#8217;t have a woman president 2020 because the candidates were not very good,&#8221; wrote one follower. &#8220;And for all the people whining about &#8216;old, white men&#8217;, well&#8230;unfortunately those same people voted for them so&#8230;&#8221;
&#8220;She does realize she is talking about voters in her party, right? RIGHT?&#8221; asked another follower.

On Thursday, President Trump issued his expected tweet after Senator Elizabeth Warren dropped out of the Democratic presidential race, and it was spot-on. Trump wrote:
<blockquote>Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren, who was going nowhere except into Mini Mike’s head, just dropped out of the Democrat Primary&#8230;THREE DAYS TOO LATE. She cost Crazy Bernie, at least, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Texas. Probably cost him the nomination! Came in third in Mass.</blockquote>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Trump’s summation that Warren staying in the race hurt the chances of Senator Bernie Sanders in the Super Tuesday primaries is undoubtedly accurate; they drew from the same group of leftists. On Tuesday, before the voting on Super Tuesday had finished, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/03/bernie-sanders-elizabeth-warren-tensions-119749">Politico</a> bemoaned the chasm between Sanders and Warren and how it was hurting the chances of “Progressives”:
<blockquote>The moderate presidential candidates are falling in line. The progressives are falling apart … After recently arguing Sanders “consistently calls for things he fails to get done,” Warren began airing a TV ad this week flashes images of Sanders, Biden and Mike Bloomberg while a narrator says, &#8220;Politicians and billionaires won&#8217;t cut it.” At a rally in her home state of Massachusetts on Saturday, Sanders said, &#8220;We don&#8217;t have a super PAC, we don&#8217;t want a super PAC, we don&#8217;t need a super PAC.”
That was an implicit jab at outside spending for Warren and Biden, which has exceeded independent expenditure assistance Sanders has received. The deepening rift among the two progressive candidates threatens to lock the Democratic Party’s left wing out of the White House.</blockquote>
The leftist site <a href="https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2020/1/28/21112129/bernie-sanders-elizabeth-warren-democratic-debate-iowa-caucus">Vox</a> wrote in late January:
<blockquote>Heading into the 2020 Democratic primary, Warren and Sanders, who are longtime friends and allies, purportedly had a non-aggression pact where they agreed not to attack one another. The candidates declined to attack one another when prompted on the campaign trail, and during debates, they backed one other up on policy matters. That didn’t stop their campaigns or supporters from some aggressions — and, eventually, the candidates themselves broke the pact as well.</blockquote>
Trump has had a merry time targeting Warren; last September, speaking at a rally in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, he quipped, &#8220;1,024th. That means I have more Indian blood than she does, and I have none.&#8221; In January 2019, he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-torches-elizabeth-warren-over-video-her-ryan-saavedra">mocked the livestream</a> in which  she drank beer, tweeting, “If Elizabeth Warren, often referred to by me as Pocahontas, did this commercial from Bighorn or Wounded Knee instead of her kitchen, with her husband dressed in full Indian garb, it would have been a smash!&#8221;
Also in 2019, Trump retweeted a meme from The Daily Wire that mocked Warren’s claims of Native American Ancestry by referring to the upcoming election:

Trump stated, &#8220;She did very badly in proving that she was of Indian heritage. That didn’t work out too well. I think you have more than she does and maybe I do, too. And I have nothing. So, you know, we’ll see how she does. I wish her well. I hope she does well. I’d love to run against her.&#8221;
Hegseth asked, “She says she’s in the fight all the way Mr. President, do you really think she believes she can win?&#8221;
Trump replied, &#8220;Well, that I don’t know. You’d have to ask her psychiatrist.&#8221;

President Trump Attends The &#8216;Pledge To America&#8217;s Workers&#8217; Event At The White House

Warren Leaves The Race. Trump Shuts The Door Behind Her With One Tweet.

After a series of disappointing finishes in primary contests, including very poor performances in Super Tuesday states, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) will drop out of the presidential race on Thursday.
&#8220;Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts plans to drop out of the presidential race on Thursday and will inform her staff of her plans later this morning, according to a person close to her, ending a run defined by an avalanche of policy plans that aimed to pull the Democratic Party to the left and appealed to enough voters to make her briefly a front-runner last fall, but that proved unable to translate excitement from elite progressives into backing from the party’s more working-class and diverse base,&#8221; the Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/05/us/politics/elizabeth-warren-drops-out.html">reported</a> Thursday morning.
Warren&#8217;s decision follows a rather grim statement on her campaign&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://medium.com/@teamwarren/next-steps-bfa8482e2fbc">next steps</a>&#8221; from campaign manager Roger Lau Wednesday following the progressive senator&#8217;s disappointing Super Tuesday outcomes.
&#8220;Last night, we fell well short of our viability goals and projections, and we are disappointed in the results,&#8221; wrote Lau in a Medium post <a href="https://twitter.com/TeamWarren/status/1235298501405397001">promoted</a> by Warren Wednesday. &#8220;We’re still waiting for more results to come in to get a better sense of the final delegate math. And we also all know the race has been extremely volatile in recent weeks and days with frontrunners changing at a pretty rapid pace. But we are obviously disappointed, and Elizabeth is talking with our team to assess the path forward.&#8221;
&#8220;All of us have worked for Elizabeth long enough to know that she isn’t a lifetime politician and doesn’t think like one,&#8221; Lau continued. &#8220;She’s going to take time right now to think through the right way to continue this fight. There’s a lot at stake for this country and the millions of people who are falling further and further behind.&#8221;
&#8220;This decision is in her hands, and it&#8217;s important that she has the time and space to consider what comes next,&#8221; he concluded. &#8220;Elizabeth believes in her ideas and in the big, structural change that is badly needed to root out corruption in Washington and will decide what she thinks is the best way to advance them. We’ll have more soon.&#8221;
In its postmortem on Warren&#8217;s campaign, the Times describes the collapse of her candidacy as being the result of &#8220;death by a thousand cuts&#8221; rather than a &#8220;dramatic implosion.&#8221;
As The Daily Wire has chronicled, Warren once topped the crowded field of Democratic presidential candidates, peaking on  October 7, where she briefly held a narrow lead over the long-time frontrunner former Vice President Joe Biden, according to <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/president/us/2020_democratic_presidential_nomination-6730.html">Real Clear Politics</a>&#8216; average of the national polls. But since late October, her performance in national polls has steadily declined, bottoming out in recent weeks at less than 15%.
&#8220;Last October, according to most national polls, Ms. Warren was the national pacesetter in the Democratic field,&#8221; the Times notes. &#8220;By December, she had fallen to the edge of the top tier, wounded by a presidential debate in November where her opponents relentlessly attacked her. She invested heavily in the early states, with a ground game that was the envy of her rivals. But it did not pay off: In the first four early voting states, Ms. Warren slid from <a class="css-1g7m0tk" title="" href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/02/04/us/elections/results-iowa-caucus.html">third place in Iowa</a> to fourth in <a class="css-1g7m0tk" title="" href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/02/11/us/elections/results-new-hampshire-primary-election.html">New Hampshire</a> and <a class="css-1g7m0tk" title="" href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/02/22/us/elections/results-nevada-caucus.html">Nevada</a> to fifth in <a class="css-1g7m0tk" title="" href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/02/29/us/elections/results-south-carolina-primary-election.html">South Carolina</a>. By Super Tuesday, her campaign was effectively over — with the final blow of a third-place finish in the primary of her home state, Massachusetts.&#8221;
Warren&#8217;s decision makes her the fifth Democratic candidate to pull out of the race in less than week. After coming up far short of expectations in South Carolina on Saturday, Tom Steyer announced that he was out Saturday night. He was followed by former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg on Sunday and Sen. Amy Klobuchar on Monday. Billionaire Mike Bloomberg dropped out Wednesday after failing to gain as much traction in the Super Tuesday contests. Buttigieg, Klobuchar and Bloomberg have since thrown their support to resurgent frontrunner Biden.
This story has been expanded to include more information.

Presidential Candidate Elizabeth Warren Campaigns In South Carolina Ahead Of Primary

Elizabeth Warren Dropping Out Of Race

In the wee morning hours after Tuesday night’s Super Tuesday primary voting across the nation, a CNN panel surmised that the across-the-board rejection of Senator Elizabeth Warren by Democrat voters was due to —you guessed it — sexism.
As <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/curtis-houck/2020/03/04/late-night-cnn-makes-excuses-warren-losing-its-your-fault-sexist">Curtis Houck of Newsbusters</a> delineated in his transcript and report, both host Don Lemon and some of his guests could not fathom why Warren got destroyed in primary after primary unless it was because she’s a woman. Houck noted, “At 3:31 a.m. Eastern, CNN spent almost eight minutes bashing Democratic primary voters as sexist heathens for not supporting Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).”
Lemon initiated the slam at Democrat voters for their supposed sexism by prompting, “I want to bring it now to the women who are here to talk about that. You have these women, these very strong, very powerful, very smart women in this race. You had Hillary Clinton, who is defeated despite winning the popular vote. You have Elizabeth Warren who didn&#8217;t do well, Amy Klobuchar who has dropped out of this race. You had this very diverse Democratic Party and then you have the women, you have all the white guys who have the delegates. What&#8217;s going on here?
After positing that Klobuchar lost because of her lack of money, The Daily Beast’s  Jackie Kucinich offered this for Warren: “If just the fact that this ground game did not turn out votes for her, did not get people to the polls for Elizabeth Warren is really — there&#8217;s really a lot of digging as to why that didn&#8217;t happen, whether it&#8217;s sexism, whether it&#8217;s the fact someone did just changed their mind. I heard women when I was in Iowa tell me we&#8217;re Warren fans, we’re worried that people — they liked Warren, they heard her speak. They went to the polls and then they were worried that a woman couldn&#8217;t beat Donald Trump.”
Lemon, pleased that Kucinich agreed, replied, “But you&#8217;re reading my mind. I&#8217;m wanting — does it say something about the candidate or about the electorate?”
Karen Finney, who was aspokesperson for the Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign,offered her own version of the sexism charge: “When it comes to executive office, our country is still very uncomfortable with women in power, and that&#8217;s part of why women have to over credential again and again. So in 16, we said, she would be — Hillary Clinton would have been the most qualified, right? You&#8217;ve heard — and you also have heard both Klobuchar and Warren and certainly Kamala when she was still talking about their electability and remember that for women what goes into electability is do I think she — I like her? We don&#8217;t care if we like male candidates or not. Men come into a race with the expectation that they&#8217;re qualified. Women have to prove themselves …&#8221;
After Finney opined that the electorate didn’t like when Warren targeted Mike Bloomberg too harshly, Patty Solis Doyle, who was campaign chief of staff for Joe Biden when he ran with Barack Obama in 2008, offered, “I have to say this whole dynamic really upsets me. The fact that we&#8217;re even still talking about, well, she can&#8217;t go too far, she can&#8217;t hit too hard. You know, in 2018 more women than ever before in our history ran for public office. More women than ever won public office. Women are going to be pivotal in this election. We started this presidential election with six women running, more than ever before in an election cycle. We&#8217;re down to two, and it really upsets me that someone like Elizabeth Warren who was stellar on the debate stage, had a great organization, smart, tough, had resources, somehow just seemed to — has been like shoved aside and we don&#8217;t know why.”

Elizabeth Warren Holds Event On Super Tuesday

CNN: Warren Lost Big Because Of — Wait For It — Sexism

Sen. Elizabeth Warren&#8217;s (D-MA) presidential campaign is tangling with some tough issues Wednesday but, perhaps, the most serious among them is what will happen to the United States when a zombie apocalypse finally happens and our only hope to survive &#8212;  President Elizabeth Warren &#8212; was never elected.
Warren performed badly on Super Tuesday, netting fewer delegates &#8212; and far fewer votes &#8212; than her campaign expected, posting, at best, third and fourth place wins in more than a dozen states. In her home state of Massachusetts, Warren placed a dismal &#8212; and distant &#8212; third.
Wednesday morning, Warren&#8217;s team announced that the Massachusetts senator was taking some time to regroup and meet with her top advisors. She has no events on the schedule until Friday, and she wants to &#8220;assess the path forward,&#8221; according to statements made by sources close to the Warren campaign.
&#8220;Three weeks ago, the campaign said it was &#8216;poised&#8217; to finish in the top-two in eight of the 14 states that vote on Super Tuesday,&#8221; <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/04/elizabeth-warren-super-tuesday-wipeout-120705">Politico reported Wednesday</a>. &#8220;She didn’t in any.&#8221;
She&#8217;s also running out of money. Despite a small windfall last week, following a stellar debate performance, Warren, Politico and other outlets suggested Wednesday, has only enough cash to keep the lights on and ads running until March 10. The next set of primaries isn&#8217;t until March 17th, and the next Democratic debate &#8212; Warren&#8217;s best chance to log swift income &#8212; isn&#8217;t until March 15th.
Worse still, though, Warren&#8217;s campaign is now in a funk, plagued by desperation, despair, and infighting, and a failure to comprehend how such a prepared candidate never gained traction. &#8220;The campaign&#8217;s design director was especially dark,&#8221; Politico reported, bemoaning America&#8217;s unwillingess to understand how essential Elizabeth Warren is to the country&#8217;s surival.
“This is a product of a sad drunk brain and a lifetime of sci-fi,&#8221; the design director wrote in a private email to staff, &#8220;but I keep thinking about the Coronavirus and fiction universe in which it turn us all into zombies and a small group of heroes try to go back in time to elect Warren because she was the only one with a plan.”
That&#8217;s right: America missed out on its only chance to survive the zombie apocalypse.
Things only got worse among Warren&#8217;s staffers on Wednesday, when social media began to weigh in on Warren&#8217;s losses. At that point, Warren&#8217;s staffers went after each other.
&#8220;[S]taffers, who are usually unflappably positive on social media, vented their frustration with sexism, Sanders supporters, and the state of the race,&#8221; Politico reported. &#8220;The night even had two staffers openly exchanging barbs on Twitter over whether some Warren aides were too &#8216;privileged.'&#8221;
Warren, for her part, is ignoring the Super Tuesday results, it seems. In a message to supporters from the campaign sent Wednesday afternoon, Warren&#8217;s team insisted that they are pushing forward.
We might not know the full results from states like Texas, California, and Colorado for a few days,” the email read. &#8220;There are six more primaries just one week away, and we need your help to keep up the momentum.&#8221;

Elizabeth Warren’s Campaign: You’ll Be Sorry You Didn’t Elect Her When The Zombie Apocalypse Comes

The following is satirical.
The nation is waiting with bated breath to discover which Hollywood nitwit is going to endorse which Socialist lowlife. All across America, voters are asking: If Tom Hanks supports Joe Biden and Scarlett Johansson supports Elizabeth Warren, will we vote for Donald Trump because of Hanks or because of Johannson?
Reports are spreading that large numbers of good looking genetic jackpots who pretend to be other people by convincingly reading lines off a page are not certain who to vote for, which leaves many Americans asking some serious questions, like “What’s for dinner?” and “Where in tarnation did I leave my glasses?” and that popular favorite, “While you’re up, would you mind getting me a beer?”
Which entertainer endorses whom makes a big difference, of course, to what sort of rallies candidates can hold.
For example, a dispute between rappers Favor Flav and Chuck D over whether to support Bernie or Biden has left many voters in suspense over which of the two blithering old white men will be able to dance around ridiculously to the most soul-deadening and repetitive music with the most illiterate lyrics. Whereas a divide between Dick Van Dyke and Sela Ward has left many voters wondering who are Dick Van Dyke and Sela Ward?
In the past, candidates have valued the endorsement of movie stars because the movie stars gave them money which the candidates valued because it was money. But because socialists like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have to pretend not to like money until they have power and can acquire huge amounts of it while everyone else descends into poverty, they have instead valued movie stars for their celebrity presence. After all, nothing says socialism like being supported on stage by a grinning gazillionaire who hasn’t worked an eight-hour day since he was a rent boy on &#8220;Sunset Boulevard.&#8221;
Thus, the Democrat nomination hangs in the balance until some handsome clown endorses some decrepit tyrant and no one cares.

With former Vice President Joe Biden emerging as the frontrunner in the Democratic primary and Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) all but demolished, Warren’s campaign manager has informed staff that the senator will be assessing the campaign’s future based on the best way to advance “big, structural change.”
According to a leaked internal email obtained by <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/04/warren-considers-ending-campaign-120948">Politico</a>, Campaign Manager Roger Lau acknowledged to staff that Warren performed poorly on Super Tuesday. 
“Last night, we fell short of viability goals and projections, and we are disappointed in the results. We’re still waiting for more results to come in to get a better sense of the final delegate math,” Lau told Warren&#8217;s campaign team. 
“We are obviously disappointed and we are going to announce shortly that Elizabeth is talking to the team to assess the path forward,” said Lau. “This decision is in her hands, and it’s important that she has the time and space to consider what comes next.”
“Elizabeth believes in her ideas and the big, structural change that is badly needed to root out corruption in Washington and will decide what she thinks is the best way to advance them,” concludes the email. 
Warren failed to win any contests on Super Tuesday and even lost her home state of Massachusetts to Biden (she came in a distant third). According to the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/elections/delegate-count-primary-results.html">New York Times</a>, the latest delegate counts have Biden leading the field with 433 delegates, while Sanders has 388 delegates. Warren has only 36 delegates. 
As the Democratic establishment coalesces around Biden, Warren’s decision to occupy a middle-of-the-road position between self-avowed democratic socialist Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and the more “moderate” former presidential candidate has left the senator in an odd position. 
However, Warren’s recent comments indicate that she may in fact be more sympathetic to rallying behind Sanders than joining the ranks of other members of the Democratic establishment. 
As The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/this-primary-isnt-a-game-warren-swings-at-sanders-after-he-campaigns-in-her-home-state">Daily Wire</a> previously reported, Warren recently attacked the former vice president for working with Republicans on legislation. 
“This crisis demands more than a former vice president so eager to cut deals with Mitch McConnell and the Republicans that he’ll trade good ideas for bad ones,” Warren told supporters after the South Carolina primary. 
While Warren also criticized Sanders on the same evening, the senator was focused on Sanders’ history of being an ineffective legislator, not his advocacy for socialist policies. 
“This crisis demands more than a senator who has good ideas, but whose thirty-year track record shows he consistently calls for things he fails to get done, and consistently opposes things he nevertheless fails to stop,” said Warren. 
As the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/not-out-yet-elizabeth-warren-reassessing-presidential-campaign-but-still-planning-events-in-michigan-idaho">Daily Wire</a> reported Tuesday, the Warren campaign has planned to hold additional events ahead of the next wave of nominating contests, but financial strain may play a role in Warren’s upcoming decision to either continue or suspend her campaign. 
Team Warren currently employs over 1,000 unionized staffers, and the campaign’s payroll requires approximately $6 million a month to stay afloat, reports <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/04/elizabeth-warren-super-tuesday-wipeout-120705">Politico</a>. She has enough money to continue operations only through March 10th.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) Visits Iowa Shortly After Announcing A Presidential Exploratory Committee

After Election Blowout, Leaked Email Reveals How Warren Will Decide Next Steps

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is &#8220;huddling with advisors&#8221; and &#8220;reassessing&#8221; her campaign Wednesday after suffering big losses on Super Tuesday &#8212; losses far worse than her campaign predicted.
The Associated Press reports that Warren &#8220;was speaking to staffers and assessing the path forward&#8221; and that her &#8220;run was in serious doubt after she finished a surprisingly weak third in Super Tuesday’s Democratic primary in her home state of Massachusetts.&#8221;
Worse still, Warren placed no better than fourth in most of the Super Tuesday states, leaving her with a gain of of only a few delegates, and a total of only 50 delegates, against former Vice President Joe Biden&#8217;s 453 and Sen. Bernie Sanders&#8217; (I-VT) 382. At one point, Tuesday night, Warren was tied with Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), who snagged her first delegate from a primary in American Samoa.
Warren&#8217;s campaign has been on a downward trajectory since November, when she was unable to successfully argue that she would not, as president, be forced to raise taxes on the middle class to fund vast expansions of the Federal government, including a &#8220;Medicare for All&#8221; plan and a full bailout of student loan debt. She&#8217;s never recovered, and placed a disappointing third in Iowa, and fourth in New Hampshire &#8212; a state she was once slated to win.
Tuesday night, a &#8220;make or break&#8221; moment for the Massachusetts Senator, likely signaled the end of her campaign, even though she received a handful of last-minute endorsements from Democratic power-players like abortion rights group EMILY&#8217;s List, and from celebrities who tried pressing a &#8220;progressive&#8221; candidate who was focused on redistributing the income of millionaires &#8212; just not Hollywood millionaires.
&#8220;Three weeks ago, the campaign said it was &#8216;poised&#8217; to finish in the top-two in eight of the 14 states that vote on Super Tuesday,&#8221; <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/04/elizabeth-warren-super-tuesday-wipeout-120705">according to Politico</a>. &#8220;She didn’t in any, including her home state of Massachusetts. (California votes are still being counted but she is currently running a distant-fourth).&#8221;
Tuesday night, at a campaign event in Detroit, Warren said she wasn&#8217;t giving up.
&#8220;You don’t get what you don’t fight for,&#8221; she told supporters. &#8220;It’s about the fight, but it’s also about the hope. It’s about what we will be able to do together. So that’s why I’m here.&#8221;
Warren&#8217;s campaign is still planning on holding several events in Michigan, Idaho, and Illinois, as well as a number of other states slated to vote in March, but her commitment to those rallies poses another problem: she&#8217;s running out of money.
&#8220;The campaign also has financial constraints that come with a unionized staff of over 1,000 people — the largest field operation in the race besides Mike Bloomberg&#8217;s — even after raising $29 million in February,&#8221; Politico added, noting that Warren did get a slight boost after she tangled with Bloomberg in a debate. &#8220;With a payroll at over $6 million per month, the campaign likely needs to keep at least several million dollars on hand to cover paychecks, benefits, and other assorted shutdown costs to avoid going into debt.&#8221;
She only has enough cash to purchase television advertising through March 10th, and the next primary debate won&#8217;t take place until March 15th.

Not Out Yet! Elizabeth Warren ‘Reassessing’ Presidential Campaign But Still Planning Events In Michigan, Idaho

After the first three primary contests, democratic presidential frontrunner Joe Biden became the former frontrunner with many politicos on both the left and right predicting that his campaign was over after Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) surged ahead in the delegate count and the polls. But now the former vice president is back on top in both momentum and the delegate race after a strong showing on Super Tuesday, where he won 9 of the 15 states. With the democratic socialist, pro-&#8220;Medicare-for-All&#8221; Sanders&#8217; chances of winning a majority of delegates plummeting, the stock market, particularly health care stocks, surged on Wednesday.
&#8220;Stocks surged on Wednesday as major victories from former Vice President Joe Biden during Super Tuesday sparked a massive rally within the health care sector,&#8221; <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/03/dow-futures-show-300-point-pop-as-early-super-tuesday-results-favor.html">CNBC</a> reported Wednesday. &#8220;The Dow Jones Industrial Average traded 615 points higher, or 2.4%. The S&amp;P 500 jumped 1.9% along with the Nasdaq Composite. &#8230; The Health Care Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLV) traded more than 3% higher. UnitedHealth and Centene jumped more than 10% each.&#8221;
The main reason, as one investment strategist cited by CNBC put it, is increased optimism that Sanders is now less likely to spread &#8220;the virus of socialism.&#8221;
&#8220;Investors fear Bernie because he wants to cut off the head of capitalism by raising taxes significantly on the rich and using the funds to provide free everything to everybody else,&#8221; said Yardeni Research&#8217;s Ed Yardeni. &#8220;Getting everything for free trumps freedom, according to Bernie. No wonder investors are reacting to him as though he is going to infect us all with the virus of socialism.&#8221;
If progressive Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) drops out, Ritholtz Wealth Management CEO Josh Brown predicts, stocks will enjoy even more positive movement. “Stocks will be even more relieved at Warren’s coming concession as they are at Biden’s big showing,&#8221; Brown <a href="https://twitter.com/ReformedBroker/status/1235025183603191808?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnbc.com%2F2020%2F03%2F03%2Fdow-futures-show-300-point-pop-as-early-super-tuesday-results-favor.html">tweeted</a>, as CNBC notes. &#8220;Wall Streeters have always secretly been more afraid of her than anyone else given her domain expertise.&#8221;
Biden now leads the Democratic primary race in total delegates. With most of the results in from Super Tuesday, Biden currently leads with 467 delegates. Sanders is second with 392 and Warren is a distant third with 51. Bloomberg is fourth with 45, while Tulsi Gabbard has just 1 delegate.
Before Biden&#8217;s significant victory in South Carolina, Sanders had both the lead in the delegate count and leads in many key polls, including in some of the states Biden went on to win Tuesday. But after burying Sanders in South Carolina, pulling in 39 of the 54 total delegates (Sanders grabbing the remaining 15), national momentum swung toward Biden.
By the end of the night, Biden won 9 of the 15 states: Alabama, Arkansas, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. As of now, Biden has amassed 467 delegates thus far. Sanders won four of the remaining five states, including the one with the most sizable delegate haul, California. The Vermont senator also won Colorado, Vermont and Utah. Sanders&#8217; current delegate count is 392. In third is Warren, with just 51 delegates.

Stock Market Responds To Sanders’ Super Tuesday Losses

After most of the dust from Super Tuesday had settled Wednesday morning, President Trump offered some thoughts on what took place for Democrats in polling places in fifteen states across the country. Super Tuesday, he said, was another example of establishment Democrats working in concert to &#8220;crush&#8221; democratic socialist Bernie Sanders (I-VT). The person most to blame, Trump suggested, was one particularly &#8220;selfish&#8221; candidate from Massachusetts.
&#8220;The Democrat establishment came together and crushed Bernie Sanders, AGAIN!&#8221; Trump tweeted Wednesday morning. &#8220;Even the fact that Elizabeth Warren stayed in the race was devastating to Bernie and allowed Sleepy Joe to unthinkably win Massachusetts. It was a perfect storm, with many good states remaining for Joe!&#8221;
&#8220;So selfish for Elizabeth Warren to stay in the race,&#8221; the president added in a follow-up tweet. &#8220;She has Zero chance of even coming close to winning, but hurts Bernie badly. So much for their wonderful liberal friendship. Will he ever speak to her again? She cost him Massachusetts (and came in third), he shouldn’t!&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
As Trump noted, Warren, who was briefly the front-runner in the race back in October, failed to even win her home state. Biden ended up grabbing the most delegates from the state, 34, while Sanders came in second with 26 delegates. Warren ended up in a distant third with 17 delegates. The loss of the state could spell the end of her campaign, which was already running on fumes.
<a href="https://www.cnn.com/election/2020/entrance-and-exit-polls/massachusetts/democratic">CNN</a> exit polls provided some devastating results from the state for Warren. &#8220;Exit polls showed that Warren <a href="https://www.cnn.com/election/2020/entrance-and-exit-polls/massachusetts/democratic">did poorly among male voters</a>, winning just 17% from them. She did better among women – earning 34% of female votes – but that was still less than both Biden and Sanders got from women voters,” <a href="https://www.usnews.com/news/elections/articles/2020-03-03/joe-biden-gets-unexpected-win-in-massachusetts-elizabeth-warren-falls-to-third">U.S. News</a> reported. Warren &#8220;lost in virtually every demographic group, according to the exit polls. A former Harvard Law School professor, Warren did best among people with advanced degrees.&#8221;
In total, Warren now has a mere 50 delegates, far behind Biden and Sanders.
After stomping the competition in South Carolina, Biden&#8217;s reinvigorated campaign did quite well on Super Tuesday, winning a majority of the states, and at times by sizable margins. Biden ended up besting Sanders in 9 of the 15 states: Alabama, Arkansas, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia, amassing a total of 453 delegates thus far.
Sanders won four of the remaining five states, including the biggest prize, California, along with Colorado, Vermont and Utah. Once the delegate frontrunner, he now trails Biden with 382 delegates. His most significant win on Tuesday was California, where he has thus far been allotted 72 of the 415 delegates (Biden has 21 so far).
The only other Democratic candidate to win a state was Mike Bloomberg, who won American Samoa&#8217;s 5 delegates. In total, Bloomberg now has just 45 delegates.
The current delegate count puts Biden (453) in the lead, Sanders (382) in second, Warren (50) in third, and Bloomberg (45) fourth.
The relatively close contest between Biden and Sanders makes the chances of neither candidate winning the majority, triggering a brokered convention, very high. <a href="https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2020-primary-forecast/">FiveThirtyEight</a> currently gives a brokered convention the best odds.

Trump Sums Up Super Tuesday Results, Calls Out ‘Selfish’ Candidate, Establishment Dems

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) refuses to endorse her &#8220;friend&#8221; Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and continues to stay in the presidential race despite having won fewer delegates than either Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) or Mayor Pete Buttigieg (both of whom dropped out). The supposedly progressive candidate, however, is now blasting the spate of &#8220;Washington insiders&#8221; endorsing former Vice President Joe Biden over the last 48 hours.
During an appearance in Los Angeles on Monday night, Warren said she will nevertheless persist in the Democratic primary through Super Tuesday while blasting Joe Biden&#8217;s string of endorsements.
&#8220;I also want to congratulate Joe Biden on his win in South Carolina. I respect his years of service. But no matter how many Washington insiders tell you to support him, nominating their fellow Washington insider will not meet this moment,&#8221; said Warren, as reported by <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/elizabeth-warren-washington-insider_n_5e5dcee3c5b6732f50e74997">HuffPost</a>. &#8220;Nominating a man who says we do not need any fundamental change in this country will not meet this moment. Nominating someone who wants to restore the world before Donald Trump, when the status quo has been leaving more and more people behind for decades, is a big risk for our party and our country.&#8221;
Warren criticized the narrative that &#8220;only two lanes&#8221; exist in the path to earn the nomination: the insider lane (Joe Biden) and the outsider lane (Bernie Sanders). She pitched herself as a third alternative: &#8220;Someone with unshakeable values who can also get things done and bring all kinds of Democrats along with her.&#8221;
&#8220;Voters deserve a choice of someone who can both do the work to transform our government from the inside and who can bring pressure to bear on government by leading a grassroots movement from the outside,&#8221; she said.
Supporters of Elizabeth Warren have encouraged her to stay in the race, arguing that it allows voters to choose an option other than straight, old, white men.
“Sanders and Biden are good men, but they want you to believe this election is a two-man race. It’s not. It’s a race between ELIZABETH WARREN and 3 old white guys—2 of them good men—who look just like every president (except one) we’ve ever had. It’s time for a change,” <a href="https://twitter.com/SethAbramson/status/1234529255654031361?s=20">tweeted</a> Seth Abramson of Newsweek on Monday. 
“There’s an alternative for the two polar extremes of white men who are still running. There’s an alternative who carries the best of what both have to offer, and leaves what they don’t behind. Someone who can truly unite moderates and progressives. Her name is Elizabeth Warren,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/ambertamblyn/status/1234571887574945792?s=20">tweeted actress Amber Tamblyn.</a>
Elizabeth Warren has no pathway to the nomination, and by refusing to exit the Democratic primary, she&#8217;s angered a number of progressive luminaries in the Democratic Party. On Monday, Alexandra Rojas, Executive Director of Justice Democrats, a hardline progressive advocacy group, said Warren should pledge to give her delegates to Bernie Sanders if she loses.
“Senator Warren has been an ally of the progressive movement throughout her entire career. But I hope she stops attacking Senator Sanders and publicly commits to give her delegates to him if he has more votes to ensure a progressive wins the nomination,” Rojas said. “I’d say the same to Bernie. Pursuing the nomination through a contested convention without accumulating the most delegates would be harmful for our movement, our party and the policies she’s spent her life fighting for.”
Warren&#8217;s campaign, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elizabeth-warrens-campaign-this-is-about-a-brokered-convention-now">The Daily Wire reported Sunday</a>, told supporters that Warren will keep her delegates, giving her the ability to compete in a possible brokered convention. She is not predicted to do well on Super Tuesday.

Elizabeth Warren Bashes ‘Washington Insiders’ Endorsing Joe Biden While Refusing To Endorse Her ‘Friend’ Bernie Sanders

Today&#8217;s the big day — so big they call it Super.
It&#8217;s Super Tuesday, when voters in 14 states will cast ballots for their candidate of choice in the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries. The states: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia.
For the first time in a Democratic nomination process this year, a substantial number of pledged delegates will be at stake — 1,357 of them. Should Sanders run the table on Super Tuesday, he&#8217;d take a significant lead in the delegate count. But most polls are showing a tight struggle between Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), former Vice President Biden and upstart Michael Bloomberg. If the delegates are equally divided among the three, the contest for the nomination could be lengthy.
In an interesting twist, the odds that no candidate gathers the needed number of delegates by the Democratic National Convention rose to 3 in 5, and now tops the nomination forecast from <a href="https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2020-primary-forecast/?ex_cid=rrpromo">FiveThirtyEight</a><a href="https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2020-primary-forecast/?ex_cid=rrpromo">.com</a>. In that forecast, Sanders has a 3 in 10 chance, Biden a 1 in 9 chance, and all the rest are less than 1 in 100 long shots. Because the delegates will be allocated in proportion to each candidate’s share of the vote, the odds that no candidate wins a majority is rising, and that means a nominee would be selected during the Democratic National Committee convention in July.
Polls close at 7 p.m. or 8 p.m. local time, so with 14 states all across the country, it&#8217;ll be a long night. But here&#8217;s what to look for in each state as the night wears on.
The race: Biden, 77, seeks the middle road, banking on his connection to his former boss, Barack Obama. Sanders, a Democratic socialist, is offering government health care and free college tuition for all, paid for by taxes on the so-called wealthy. And Bloomberg is somewhere in between, stressing his terms as mayor of America&#8217;s biggest city and a pragmatic take on how to get things done.
And in one last possible game changer, Biden was endorsed by former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Peter Buttigieg, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and former Texas Rep. Robert &#8220;Beto&#8221; O&#8217;Rourke (D), all of who ran for the nomination but dropped out.
Let the games begin.
EAST
Virginia (Voting ends 7PM EST)
Virginia is one of the first key states for Democratic hopefuls. Sanders has a lead in the state, according to the <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/latest_polls/">Real Clear Politics</a> (RCP) average of all polls, but the race has been getting tighter in recent days, with Biden and Bloomberg picking up steam. In the latest RCP averages, Sanders leads with 25%, followed by Bloomberg at 19.5% and Biden at 18.5%.
The state&#8217;s senator, Tim Kaine, recently endorsed Biden, which could help him in the final days. But Sanders and Bloomberg have both held Virginia events in the days leading up to the primary. In another twist, Virginia is holding an &#8220;open primary,&#8221; which means any registered voter can participate, meaning independents and Republicans can cast ballots.
Sanders, it should be noted, lost the 2016 primary in Virginia to eventual nominee Hillary Clinton.
North Carolina (Voting ends 7:30PM EST)
The Buckeye State is next in importance, and from all indications, it could go any direction.
The latest NBC News–Marist poll released Sunday shows Sanders with a tiny 2-point lead over Biden, well within the margin of error for the poll. Bloomberg is in third, but Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), once a front-runner for the nomination, is not far behind. Another poll, this one from Meredith College, shows the race even tighter, with Sanders at 19.5%, Biden at 17.9%, and Bloomberg less than a point behind at 17%.
Biden said on Sunday that he expects to pull out a win in North Carolina, adding that the nominee will need to do well here to have a chance in the general election against President Trump. The state has 110 delegates, making it the third-biggest prize of the day.
Vermont, Massachusetts, Maine (Voting ends 7PM EST in VT, 8PM EST in MA and MN)
The rest of the East Coast states get pretty predictable — sort of. Sanders is from Vermont, Warren from Massachusetts. Maine went hard for Sanders in 2016.
But there&#8217;s always a twist. Some 10,000 people turned out for a Sanders rally in Boston on Saturday, and a Suffolk University–WBZ–Boston Globe poll released Sunday showed Warren and Sanders in a statistical tie. That has prompted Warren to spend time in the state to make sure she doesn&#8217;t lose there, taking her away from other important states. Massachusetts holds the fourth-most delegates of the day at 91.
In Vermont, which holds 16 delegates, Sanders looks like a shoo in. He holds a 38-point lead over his opponents, with 51% in one of the latest polls, and he has been endorsed by Vermont&#8217;s two top Democrats in the state, Sen. Patrick Leahy and Rep. Peter Welch. Sanders, it should be noted, won the 2016 primary there with more than 86% of the vote.
Maine, with 24 delegates, also looks to be leaning toward Sanders. There aren&#8217;t many polls from the state, but he decisively defeated Clinton there in 2016 and expects to do so again on Tuesday.
CENTRAL
Texas (Voting ends 9PM EST)
The Lone Star State, like Virginia, is turning purple on its way to blue. Once a Republican stronghold, an influx of young liberals is changing the demographics of the state, and it offers the second-most delegates of the day — 228.
Right now, Sanders holds a nearly 9-point lead in Texas, according to a RealClearPolitics average of polls, averages 29.7% support to Biden&#8217;s 20.8% and Bloomberg&#8217;s 18 percent. Among Latinos, Sanders holds an even bigger lead, according to a Univision poll released last week.
Biden has stacked up a slew of endorsements, which could be key. He spent Monday in the state, holding events in Houston and Dallas.
Also-ran Warren has garnered the backing of former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro, a former mayor of San Antonio who may turn up again as a running mate for the eventual nominee after dropping out of the presidential race.
This one will be a big one. Watch who wins here.
Minnesota (Voting ends 9PM EST)
This is the home state of Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who dropped out of the race on Monday (weird timing). She&#8217;s expected to endorse Sanders, which may change the outcome. In the latest Minnesota Public Radio–Star Tribune Minnesota poll last week, Klobuchar led Sanders 29-23. Warren, at 11%, was the only other candidate in double digits. But in another poll by the Star Tribune/Mason-Dixon, it went Klobuchar 29, Sanders 23, Warren 11, Biden 8, Bloomberg 3.
Sanders won the 2016 Minnesota caucuses — and the state&#8217;s 75 delegates — and has been endorsed by the Democratic media darling Rep. Ilhan Omar. The Democratic socialist held a rally Monday night featuring Omar, as well as a concert by Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats.
Alabama (Voting ends 8PM EST)
This state is so up in the air that five candidates visited Alabama on Sunday to commemorate the 55th anniversary of “Bloody Sunday,” when civil rights marchers crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma and were beaten by police.
Bloomberg wasn&#8217;t all that popular. Parishioners at a black church in Selma, Alabama, the Brown Chapel AME Church, stood and turned their backs on former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg as he spoke on Sunday morning.
Biden, who is banking on the black vote, has endorsements from members of the Alabama congressional delegation, including Sen. Doug Jones and Rep. Terri Sewell. But with major candidates dropping out, including Buttigieg, the state — and its 52 delegates — is up in the air.
Arkansas (Voting ends 8:30PM EST)
Multi-billionaire Bloomberg has been dumping cash into the state, which he thinks he can win. &#8220;In the sole poll conducted in Arkansas, the Talk Business and Politics-Hendrix College poll released last week, Bloomberg held a slight lead with a 1-point edge over Biden,&#8221; <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/485388-democratic-candidates-gear-up-for-a-dramatic-super-tuesday">The Hill</a> reported. Former candidate Buttigieg and Sanders weren&#8217;t far behind.
But Biden&#8217;s making a play for the state&#8217;s 31 delegates. &#8220;His campaign boasted an endorsement Sunday by former Arkansas Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D), and Biden’s wife, Jill Biden, spoke at an event in Little Rock that same day,&#8221; said The Hill.
Sadly, RCP has no polls of the state. Arkansas could go any way on Tuesday.
Tennessee (Voting ends 8PM EST)
Biden won the South Carolina primary, key to keeping his flagging campaign alive. Biden won big among Democrats on Saturday, taking 48% of the vote in the primary. Sanders lagged well behind in second, pulling in just 19.9%. Billionaire Tom Steyer came in third with 11.3%, then promptly dropped out. Buttigieg came in fourth at 8.4%, and Warren finished fifth at just 7.1%.
Biden’s win in the first Southern state to hold a primary could show his strength there, but again, as with many states, there&#8217;s just too little polling to suggest where things will go on Tuesday.
But if Biden pulls off a win here, look for him to have a good night. And, it should be noted, Sanders lost to Clinton in Tennessee in 2016 by a hefty margin. Up for grabs are 64 delegates.
Oklahoma (Voting ends 8PM EST)
On to Oklahoma, where it should be doubly noted that Sanders beat Clinton in 2016.
But Bloomberg has poured millions into the state, which he thinks he can win. One of the most recent polls put Biden at the top with 21.2%, followed by Bloomberg at 19.8% and Sanders at 19.3%.
But state pollster Bill Shappard told <a href="https://www.newson6.com/story/41809481/presidential-poll-shows-surprise-perhaps-indecision-atop-democratic-field-in-oklahoma">News on 6</a> in Tulsa that voters “have changed their mind a lot, and they&#8217;re going to change them again.” According to one poll, nearly 43% of the respondents said they will — or might — change their mind before casting a vote, the site reported.
Up for grabs are 37 delegates.
MOUNTAIN
Colorado (Voting ends 9PM EST)
Bloomberg has poured tons of cash into this progressive state, more than $5 million into the Denver market and another $1 million in the Colorado Springs-Pueblo market in TV ads, Colorado Public Radio reported. Sanders has dumped in about half a million, followed by Warren at just more than $200,000.
Sanders, it should be noted, knocked off Clinton in the Colorado caucuses in 2016, but he&#8217;ll have a harder time Tuesday securing the 67 pledged delegates.
In one of the most recent polls, Sanders leads at 27%, with Warren at 15%, Buttigieg at 12%, Biden at 11%, and Bloomberg at 11%. Another poll put Sanders at 34%, Warren at 20%, Bloomberg at 14%, Buttigieg at 14% and Biden at 10%.
Utah (Voting ends 10PM EST)
Sanders holds a 9-point lead over his opponents, according to a Deseret News–Hinckley Institute of Politics poll released last week. Sanders had support from 28% of those polled, topping Bloomberg at 19%, Buttigieg at 18 and Warren at 15.
That&#8217;s right, Biden is in fourth place in the state, where, it should be noted, Sanders soundly defeated Clinton in 2016.
There are 29 delegates at stake.
PACIFIC
California (Voting ends 11PM EST)
Finally, after midnight or later, results will roll in from California, the jewel of the night. Up for grabs are 415 delegates.
Sanders has held a wide lead in all polls of the Golden State and held a rally Sunday in San Jose while his opponents were in Alabama for the anniversary of the civil rights march in Selma. Biden is planning to travel in California on Super Tuesday.
The RCP average of California polls puts Sanders 17 points ahead of Warren, whose flagging campaign could be revived with a second-place finish here. Biden is in third at 13% and Bloomberg in fourth. Biden has pulled some big endorsements, including Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
Meanwhile, a Los Angeles Times-Berkley IGS poll released last week put Sanders at 34% support, with Warren in second at 17%. If the poll holds, it&#8217;s likely to be a big night for Bernie.

Everything You Need To Know About Super Tuesday

Michael Bloomberg

As America stands on the brink of Super Tuesday – the day when the Democratic presidential nominee becomes increasingly clear – supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) are wondering why Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) continues to stay in the race despite her failed campaign and the fact that both Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Mayor Pete Buttigieg have dropped out, allowing former Vice President Joe Biden to consolidate support.
Writing at <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/03/02/bernie-sanderss-elizabeth-warren-problem/">The Washington Post</a>, Aaron Blake simply stated that Bernie Sanders has a big problem on his hands leading up to Super Tuesday, and it goes by the name of Elizabeth Warren.
&#8220;Warren doesn’t appear to be going anywhere, and that’s an increasingly big problem for Sanders. That’s because her exit would probably be an even bigger boon to Sanders than the others will be for Biden,&#8221; argued Blake. &#8220;As The Washington Post’s Philip Bump <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/01/28/new-national-poll-answers-critical-question-who-is-second-choice-democratic-voters/?tid=lk_inline_manual_7&amp;itid=lk_inline_manual_7" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">reported</a> in late January, the most pronounced second-choice shift in the Democratic primary field was Warren supporters going to Sanders. A <a href="https://poll.qu.edu/national/release-detail?ReleaseID=3654" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Quinnipiac University poll</a> at the time showed 35 percent of Warren supporters said Sanders was their second choice. In <a href="https://poll.qu.edu/national/release-detail?ReleaseID=3655" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">early February</a>, that stood at 33 percent.&#8221;
In short, if Elizabeth Warren is actually the friend to Bernie Sanders that she claims to be, she&#8217;d immediately drop out at this very moment and endorse him. On social media, the outcry from Bernie supporters was resolute.
&#8220;Can someone who still supports Elizabeth Warren defend the scenario in which she receives a much smaller share of the vote than multiple other candidates and yet walks away with the party nomination? If not, can you explain to me why she shouldn’t drop out today?&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/meaganmday/status/1234547479216967680?s=20">tweeted</a> Meagan Day of Jacobin.
&#8220;If Bernie Sanders were where Elizabeth Warren is today, there would be deafening calls for him to drop out,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/WalkerBragman/status/1231350911555031040?s=20">tweeted</a> journalist Walker Bragman. 
&#8220;Frankly I’m disgusted with Elizabeth Warren right now. Putting this whole election on the line for what???? Drop out and endorse Bernie or be remembered forever as a fraud,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/livkittykat/status/1234579002129432581?s=20">tweeted</a> CAIR&#8217;s Elizabeth Katbi Smith. 
&#8220;Let&#8217;s keep it real, Elizabeth Warren doesn&#8217;t want to cap off a streak of poor performances in the first 4 contests with a loss in her home state. If she were to drop out and endorse Bernie Sanders, it would be an unstoppable force,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/johniadarola/status/1233911069606731776?s=20">tweeted</a> John Ladarolla of The Young Turks. 
Seth Abramson of Newsweek had a different take, arguing that Elizabeth Warren&#8217;s persistence will steal the frontrunner status from two old white guys, even though the senator has yet to win a single state. &#8220;Sanders and Biden are good men, but they want you to believe this election is a two-man race. It&#8217;s not. It&#8217;s a race between ELIZABETH WARREN and 3 old white guys—2 of them good men—who look just like every president (except one) we&#8217;ve ever had. It&#8217;s time for a change,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/SethAbramson/status/1234529255654031361?s=20">tweeted</a> Abramson. 
Actress Amber Tamblyn <a href="https://twitter.com/ambertamblyn/status/1234571887574945792?s=20">agreed with Abramson</a>: &#8220;There’s an alternative for the two polar extremes of white men who are still running. There’s an alternative who carries the best of what both have to offer, and leaves what they don’t behind. Someone who can truly unite moderates and progressives. Her name is Elizabeth Warren.&#8221;
President Trump bluntly stated the the sudden dropout of Buttigieg and Klobuchar proves only one thing: the DNC is rigging this primary against Bernie Sanders.
