So, for the last few months, Warren flipped on the following:

1. Medicare for All, first by proposing a two-billed, convoluted plan with a timetable as late as the third year, where there's no guarantee she will have majority in either Congressional chamber. Then she began plucking the corporate "choice" talking point, followed by "affordable" health care. Nowadays, she doesn't mention "medicare for all" at all.
2. Her friends. Despite agreeing to a non-aggression pact, Warren has been jabbing at Bernie again and again and again. It really boiled over when she claimed that Bernie told her that women can't win versus Trump when her own staffers revealed anonymously that Bernie's description of the meeting — that she must be prepared for Trump to use every trick in the book to demoralize her — was more accurate. Despite two jabs at Bernie in yesterday's debate, they didn't go after each other. But today, she went low by continuing the "hidden medicals" conspiracy theory, claiming Bernie has a Super PAC, and going after his "uncivilized" yelling.
   
   She even went after Klobuchar, who they tag-teamed the debate before.
3. In NH, she claimed to not accept ANY SP or PAC dough along with Klobuchar. Well, now she has a SP spending close to a million dollars in a Nevada ad blitz, claiming that she must accept the dirty dough in order for women like her to keep up with the men. Seriously? Isn't feminism supposed to be about fighting corruption and the roots of patriarchy rather than upholding them?
4. In earlier tweets, she said that the electoral college was problematic and the most votes shouldn't decide the election. Well, ma'am, you just flip-flopped on observing democracy by supporting the idea of a brokered convention! In which superdelegates can authoritatively decide the primary OVER the voters! Bernie was the ONLY one of the six debaters to say the popular vote/delegates should decide the nomination!

Mehdi Hasan's right. Bernie supporters are still pissed over 2016, but followed through by voting for Hillary about 3/4 of the time. Should Bernie win the plurality but NOT the nomination, Trump will win not only the election, but (I argue) the popular vote, too.

Primaries determine whether a candidate will look better or worse than the other. Warren preaches to be the "unity" candidate, but goes low on other candidates and their supporters. Last time a Democrat demeaned supporters of a candidate, Hillary riled up Republican voters and lost to Trump. Ever since she temporarily sat as the front-runner, her political instincts have been some of the worst I've ever seen in a Democratic presidential primary.
