And here's the take away bullet point...

"It leaves what was once a historically diverse Democratic field essentially narrowed to two white men in their seventies."

Waiting on the it's because Trump's America is racist spin, you know someone is writing something along those lines at this very moment.

Maybe not.

Since at this point, it would have to mean that by eliminating Warren, it's DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY voters who are racist* and/or sexist, since Trumpians (Trumpites?) haven't had a chance to weigh in.

She did her job. If she'd have dropped out before super tuesday, Bernie would likely have won Maine, Massachusetts, and Texas.

Can't have Bernie showing up with the most delegates at the convention. 
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Then they'd have her stay in longer to keep Bernie from winning Michigan and other critical northern Midwestern primaries too. Although Biden winning Minnesota was telling.

I'm hoping she'll give the DNC the finger and endorse Bernie, just to keep the chaos going, and to weaken Biden. It'll be interesting to see how much Leftist vs. Establishment loyalty she has. Although the "You called me a liar" kerfuffle she started might make that difficult.
I promise not to duck.

I'm guessing she's waiting for one of them to make her an offer for VP slot, or at least some other cushy gig, before she endorses anyone. Bernie is much more likely to do so than Joe, so you'll probably get your wish.

Though, like you said, Bernie may still be pissed over how she tried to sandbag him, so it's possible Biden will make her an offer for a less important slot while Bernie doesn't offer anything. I don't think that's quite as likely, though, since Bernie is probably going need Warren's delegates to get him anywhere close to being over the top.

I was reading the comments to the story on Fox News.  They were hilarious.

Several of them alluded to her Native American pretensions.  One of them referred to her Indian name as Pocohoe.  Another went with Gray Beaver.

That actually made me laugh out loud.

The only change I would make to that would be she will run no more forever...

In fact, I think that would be a fantastic caption on her photo... I will run no more forever...

Unfortunately the vast majority of people simply wouldn't get it.

Well, regular Joes might not get it...

I only got it because I've been reading books from that period of late.

Unfortunately anymore most Americans don't even come up to the standard of average.

That was by design. If you have no knowledge1 of the past, you have no idea what you've lost.
