She gambled that moderating her position on healthcare would pick her up a lot of centrists without sacrificing progressive support. Wrong on both counts, and that bizarre takedown she attempted to do of Bernie didn't help. Also, trusting Joe Rospars, the worst campaign strategist in American history, was a bad idea. He replaced her policy-driven focus with "Big Structural Bailey." Ultimately she spent a lot of her career fighting Credit Card Joe on various consumer issues and she's the reason he sailed through to the nomination.
LOL no, that is definitely not true. Are you seriously still propagating this myth? Warren dropping out would not have saved Bernie. Even if he took all her votes AND Bloomberg didn't drop out, Biden still would have dominated Super Tuesday. If Bloomberg (who got more votes than Warren) had dropped out too, Biden would have just dominated even harder.
I know it’s anecdotal, but I was a Warren supporter who switched to Biden after she dropped. I know a LOT of people who did the same thing. I’d be really interested to see the breakdowns on how many Warren-to-Biden versus Warren-to-Sanders voters there were, but my suspicion is that everyone who wanted to support Bernie were already doing so.
