Time for a nickname change, Liz.
After her humiliating showing in the New Hampshire primary, Elizabeth Warren began to cancel ad reservations in South Carolina and Nevada. At this point, I think Pocahontas has become Pocahasbeen.
That’s got a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?
What I wouldn’t give for President Trump to start calling her that.
How else would you describe the candidate who went from putative frontrunner to also-ran in two months?
But despite her campaign retracting in on itself, I still stand by my assessment from Tuesday: Pocahasbeen isn’t going to drop out any time soon.
She is willing to keep this quixotic campaign going even if she has to bankrupt college kids to do it.
A young girl came up to me tonight and said, “I’m a broke college student with a lot of student loan debt. I checked and I have $6 in the bank—so I just gave $3 to keep you in this fight.” We’re staying in this fight for the people who are counting on us. pic.twitter.com/AetWhpTJqT

Honestly, this woman has zero self-awareness.
Imagine how impressive she would have looked if Pocahasbeen refused to take the money and instead handed the girl a couple of twenties from her own wallet.
The mileage she could’ve gained over that kind of selfless act in the face of electoral disaster would’ve played over and over again on cable news and in social media.
It would have been a masterstroke of political genius.
But Pocahasbeen has the political genius of a soup spoon.
Yes, that embarrassing clip got a lot of mileage. But not in a way that makes Pocahasbeen look good.
Such a missed opportunity.
Ah, well.
There’s a reason I retracted my previous statement that Kirsten Gillibrand was the worst candidate in the history of Presidential elections.
Elizabeth Warren has zero political instincts.
None.
It’s a miracle she actually managed to win a seat in the US Senate, if you want to know the truth.
Then again, Massachusetts happily reelected Ted Kennedy after he killed someone.
Unfortunately for Pocahasbeen, the rest of the country isn’t Massachusetts.
