Probably the first bit of political analysis that wasn’t horse race (well, not exactly) that felt worth putting here and not in chat: https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/06/warren-team-wonders-how-they-blew-it-122628
This matches well with various vibes I was getting.
Anecdotally, there’s another thing I saw a lot that wasn’t discussed here: Warren never fully recovered among leftist WoC from the Cherokee heritage controversy. It was a complete non-issue among white leftists, she sat and apologized to Cherokee representatives by most counts, but doing so in relative privacy rather than tackling the issue head on was cited frequently from that camp in my experience.
