Electile Dysfunction (Current students plz look!)

I think the thing that you all seem to like about Warren was her undoing. Yes she is a policy wonk, and probably knows her shit. So then people forced her to articulate on those plans and how much they might cost. That's about the time her campaign started to fail.. She may have answers nobody wanted to hear.

I don't think that's it.  Bernie has 5 trillion dollar plus programs in his platform and he never finished behind Warren in a primary or caucus.  I think she ended up out in no-man's land where she was too far left for moderates but Bernie had already sucked up all of the oxygen at the far left.  She's not a radical like Bernie and has actually accomplished things, but Bernie had a built in advantage from 2016.

It may also come down to her decision to turn away big donors.  The moderates didn't do that, and she couldn't match Bernie's war chest.
