      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.

      2. Warren's unity argument has the virtue of being true: she's the one candidate that the two large factions of the party (the left and liberals) can get behind. Unfortunately, the way primaries work, you have to first win and they get unity. Can't reverse that.

      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/ …

          Warren initially was running a great campaign. She made the determination that she couldn't out Bernie Bernie, so she started floating further right. That seems to be a mistake. Make me think Warren doesn't have very good political instincts.

          I wouldn't say it was initially great because her carefully planned launch was an epic flop. Her positive attributes (explains things well, has charm) allowed her to overcome that inauspicious start, but then the floating right started. I agree on the instincts.

          Agreed. If her campaign joined the Sanders campaign in calling out the plutocratic DNC establishment she probably would've split off chunks from MayoPete/Klobuchar and maybe even Biden as well as some undecideds by sheer virtue of being a "safer" candidate who still calls bs out.

          another part of that, though, is that she hired conventional, "experienced" campaign staff who did not understand what anyone ever liked about her

          Her unity message is to abandon Sanders and move to the right. Makes both centrists and leftists mistrust her. Her campaign ppl are dunces lol

          I mean, I think she does have a way of sharpening differences without going negative, and that's to go specific on policy. She did this for a while (the "plan for that" era) and it seemed to lead to her most successful period in the polls. Lately she's gone kinda all… mushy.

          "Americans are ready to make this country work for working families", etc. She's toned down the policy substance since the start of the year and gone for Obama-y generalities. But substance differentiates her and the Obama stuff makes her sound like every non-Bernie candidate.

          A unity message during the primaries seemed quite obviously a bad idea, to me That’s a message that’s more compelling once the nominee has been chosen by voters She played herself on that part, but she also has a competitor whose policy goals make hers seem like half-measures

          She initiated a low-plausibility sexism smear of a popular rival which people found transparent and repulsive.
