It’s Time to Drop Out, Senator Warren
After her woeful Super Tuesday results, Elizabeth Warren has next to no chance of winning more delegates than Bernie Sanders. But she has a plan for that — only it’s the opposite of everything she once stood for. (And it won’t even work.)

Tonight, the Democratic nomination process just got significantly messier. At the moment, nothing is certain. Nothing except this: Elizabeth Warren will not be the Democratic nominee for president.

The victory scenario her campaign touts in increasingly fanciful memos involves her going into the Democratic convention in Milwaukee potentially having won not a single state — including her own, where she came in third place tonight — with fewer delegates than the top two contenders. But somehow being handed the nomination because she represents the “unity” of the party.
