Elizabeth Warren is dropping out of the 2020 p**********l race after a disappointing Super Tuesday performance -- a move that could boost Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders' campaign by making him the lone progressive standard-bearer in the Democratic field.

The decision, first reported by The New York Times, essentially leaves the race as a one-on-one battle between Sanders and former Vice President Joe Biden, who is surging after claiming a stunning 10 victories on Super Tuesday. She was holding a late-morning all-staff call to tell members of her campaign about her decision.

Not sure if that helps bernie ... if she follows the lead of the rest of the dropouts and endorses biden. I thought there was bad blood between her and bernie? So will her supporters move away from bernie and help biden?

Am thinking it will help Bernie more than ole Joe. I really don't think it matters, democrats have no one.

It's not being reported yet who she will support. I'm thinking it will be Biden, because that's what the deep state will want.

Trump says he is going to go full blast against Biden's corruption in the Ukraine. He called in to Hannity last night.

Here's John Nolte's article with what Trump said: https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/03/05/trump-promises-bidens-ukraine-scandal-major-issue-2020/

I "think" Bernie will pick up most of those supports, Warren and Sanders are two peas from the same pod. If it ends up Bernie vs Biden am thinking H****r will enter the picture.

She is the third in the line of DNC efforts to throw all they have at stopping Bernie Sanders campaign and ruin his chances. It is very clear what is going down. If Bernie can get his younger base off their butts and into the v****g booth, his campaign could strengthen to the point where the DNC will out and out under cut him in some despicable way. Then, watch out for the fireworks.

I would bet money that Warren has been instructed by the DNC to release her delegates, when the time comes, with instructions to back Biden.

Totally agree. The DNC is all in it for biden. Or, more accurately, all in it for anybody but bernie and biden simply won the brass ring because he can be propped up and declared to be the most centrist .. and he can bring the African American v**e, which they need in order to win ... and also because he can be controlled. The leaders at the top of the heap in the dem party are champing at the bit to get biden in there for that last reason above all.

Warren is probably not endorsing anybody now because she isn't getting what she wants .... yet. Everybody else so far seems pleased. Watching them come forth one by one, smiling and excited to endorse biden was almost like watching a scifi movie .... kinda reminded me of that Stepford Wives movie decades ago. Yeah, they got what they wanted.

Good comment. You're probably right about Warren. She might want a VP offer.

House maid MAYBE!

They are doing more long term planning and looking at both 2020 and 2024, So I don't think they would give that to her because she is too old. I think they offered that to mayor pete. I believe he is being g***med to take over, but it is clear he won't have the v**es he needs to win the national e******n. But he could become VP and end up taking over when biden poops out about midterm.

The dems have been looking for younger candidates for a while. bo spoke to that in an interview back in 2016 and specifically brought up mayor pete's name ... that long ago .... along with a couple of others. mayor pete's prospects weren't looking all that good at this point in the primary, so what's the next best way to bring him into the fold? Do the old bait and switch on the American people. If you will recall, biden even mentioned at one of his town halls some weeks ago that he would pick a VP who was qualified to take over immediately because "I am old." Sounded like he was just joking at the time, but think about how that all fits now. It could be there had been some behind-the-scenes discussions about that and biden forgot it was supposed to remain behind the scenes. He has clearly made so many mental gaffes it would not come as a surprise to any of us if, God forbid, by some miracle he should win the e******n, he resigns after a respectable period of time citing "personal issues" ... that having been the plan all along.

Then mayor pete moves up, appoints Amy as VP, and he would be the incumbent in the next e******n and have a better shot at continuing on for another four years. Could be one reason why they both had such huge smiles on their faces when they came out to endorse biden. They were both literally beaming.

After all the concern about hrc stepping in at a brokered convention, I don't see that for much the same reason. She is too old, and I think the dems are done with her. I think that is the "shiny object" we are all supposed to be looking at right now.

Just a thought .....

I tend to agree.
