No media coverage. The establishment doesn't like her, she lacks Bernie's feistiness, and she didn't experience any great ups or downs lately, so she just doesn't make the news.

Have to agree with Beeyon here. She got plenty of coverage when she was on the upswing and when she was leading in the polls.

The lack of coverage she is getting now is fair considering her poor showing in the returns and in current polls.
 
We spend a lot of time in campaign season trying to figure out if money, the media, or voter support is the tail wagging the dog because there really is an answer.

She sounds smart. Maybe she can teach you cost accounting for hamburger production.

I like Warren. She's been an outstanding Senator. But she's been a real disappointment in this race.

Her calling out Bernie was a really poor choice. It backfired horribly. I think her shine was already fading by then, but that was not a smart move.

She had some really good content, but never seemed to get it out to people effectively.

I am clinging to my unrealistic hope that Super Tuesday brings her campaign back from the brink.

Goodness, not how I saw it. Everyone was pointing out Sanders has a slim chance of winning.

Warren has an excellent commercial out that does a pretty good number on Bloomberg.

I meant her calling him out a while ago about her claim that he said "a woman can't win the presidency". That was dumb. It made her look sloppy.

Why the dismissive tone? Don't you agree that there's a high level of division even within the Democratic "side"?

The political tribe thing is lazy thinking. Look how much time has been spent on that crap, pragmatic appeals for tribal unity and almost no discussions of policy.

Because unless the Democrats get back into some meaningful position of actual useful political power their policies won't mean squat because they won't be implemented.

It doesn't matter how philosophically pure and perfect the candidate that loses to Trump is.

Idealist don't get much done without some realists running interference for them, so get off your moral high horse.

Oh well if the guy who loves him thinks he has a chance, I guess that's the end of the discussion. It's not like the whether or not we'll live in a functioning Democracy much longer is severely at risk if you're wrong or anything.

Get outside your bubble and breath some of the real world air.

I can't deal with this level of irony so late in the day.

Again don't worry when Sanders is elected by the massive socialist uprising in... the Rust Belt you can ship me off the re-education camps.

You guys are Trumpers with the names, labels, and nouns swapped out.

I hope this is not a violation of some kind of forum rule, but I notice that the posters in here who tend to think Sanders has little chance of becoming President tend to be located (when they choose to make that info available) the very swing States (FL, PA, MI) that the election probably hinges on.

Is it just a bit possible that Sanders looks a whole lot more electable someplace where the Statewide outcome of the election is already practically a foregone conclusion?

I don't say that to be insulting to anyone. But is it possible that being someplace reliably "Blue" might make ones' personal "Overton window" a little skewed?
