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.
Trump's America is sexist is too easy

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.
* - the racism is so deep that even 1/1024 Cherokee blood causes discrimination.

You're seriously underestimating their ability to spin

Inevitable. After coming in a dismal third in her home state, she really had no choice.

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.

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'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.

To quote Saysuncle,
"I feel sorry for Liz. This is the second time she’s had to leave a race."
Ouch

She will fight no more forever.

She will fight no more forever.
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.

"Well, regular Joes might not get it..."
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.
