'We fell well short': Warren team considers ending campaign.....👱🏻‍♀️

Elizabeth Warren’s campaign manager Roger Lau sent a frank email to staffers this morning saying the campaign missed its goals on Super Tuesday and that the "decision is in her hands" about what to do next.
“Last night, we fell well short of viability goals and projections, and we are disappointed in the results,” Lau wrote in an email obtained by POLITICO, adding that “we are obviously disappointed.”

The timing of Warren’s decision about the future of her campaign is unclear. She is currently at home in Massachusetts and does not have any publicly scheduled events until Friday

Besides the question of whether to forge ahead in the race, there is another looming decision over who she would support, if anyone, in the event that she ended her campaign. Several allies outside the campaign said that it was not a given that Warren would throw her support behind fellow progressive Bernie Sanders.

I am not a supporter of her....so it is up to her.....

to the other candidates. If they want her endorsement maybe they should back off, but I'm betting we'll see more threats than warm invitations.

There is not much point in staying in, and best to let the 2 front runners fight it out the rest of the way until convention day.

She's not a sanctimonious, doctrinaire, march-in-lockstep-with-us-or-we'll-doxx-your-children bad example progressive; she's pragmatic and reasonable, which is how real progressives get things done. She should do what she wants and fuck the whiny fake-progressive snowflakes.

I want to represent that an enthusiastic Warren supporter in my household switched from backing her to Biden, and that we deeply respect her voice in this race. If she’s considering exiting, I hope she’s in serious contention for VP (so many good choices - Harris, Abrams...).

Want to put it next to the new Biden sign when it comes in. Not sure why I haven’t posted signs yet, but better late than never.

I really feel she could have been a good nominee and great President. I’m sad she never really gained the traction she needed and deserved.

I hope Biden and Warren will team up. That would be a strong ticket.

I truly believed Sen Warren was the best person to unite the sane people of this country AND make transformative change. She was largely ignored by the MSM and she never got the traction she should have. Our system will never change
