1. There's a lot of theories floating around about why Warren has sunk in the polls and underperformed in New Hampshire (sexism, the M4A shift). Some truth to all this but more fundamentally her unity message is undermining her.

3. At crucial points in the primary, Warren could have gained traction by sharpening differences with rival or criticizing party establishment. She didn't do that because unity message wouldn't allow it.

4. Fortunately for Warren, Bloomberg's rise allows her to put unity message aside and focus on her core strength, which is as fighter against plutocracy. More here:https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/warren-bloomberg-attack-democratic/ …

it is basically inarguable at this point that either Warren or her campaign have some of the worst political instincts in the modern history of primaries.

eh, i don't think I'd go that far. Her candidacy I think is (whether deliberately or inadvertently) presaged on the notion that IF something knocks Bernie out of the race, then she can potentially coast to nomination. Given health and a large anti-Bernie slice of Dem party...

A large part why this didn't work was she was betting on other candidates going hard negative against each other and they haven't. It was a risk that didn't pay off. Would be different if attacks were more akin to past races.

Every single decision she's made since her shift away from Bernie's M4A plan seems to have further alienated her from the left. I'd say she was doomed ever since the DNA test controversy though.
