In a classic case of what a difference a week makes, Elizabeth Warren is now suddenly not so eager to cast aspersions against Bernie Sanders after accusing him last week of telling her in 2018 that a woman couldn't be elected President. The accusation resulted in tensions between the two following the Democratic debate when the two had words with Warren refusing to shake Sanders' hand.
When Gayle King of CBS This Morning asked Warren her thoughts on Sanders she replied, “Bernie and I have worked together for a very long time and we continue to do so. I’ve said all I’m going to say about that.” When King pressed Warren about Hillary Clinton's claim that "nobody likes" Sanders, Warren said, "I'm not going there."
What this tells me is that Warren's tactic against Sanders backfired resulting in a self-inflicted wound. While Sanders rises in popularity in Iowa, New Hampshire and beyond, the Warren campaign is lowering expectations.
Could Warren's lies be finally catching up with her now that she has appears to have alienated the so-called progressive vote she so desperately seeks?
If nothing else aspiring presidential candidate should not make claims about other aspiring presidential candidates they cannot back up and do not have a shred of credibility. In Elizabeth Warren's case, the lesson may have come too late.
