i think it was her poor debate performances, myself - especially her attempts to go after buttigieg, which brutally backfired.

there was also the fiasco with sanders where she tried to play the victim and nobody bought it.

but, there may have been a misconception about where she was on the spectrum, too. she seems to have initially done well with suburban, white liberals. in detroit, she seemed to be trending in the hipster-y ferndale area, primarily, as well as in the counties around metro detroit - so, oakland county, and ann arbor. these places usually vote for the leftmost candidate, so this was a little bit weird, given that she's kind of a moderate. these voters may not have realized that she was on the fence on healthcare, that she's kind of a market fundamentalist or that she used to be a republican. and, people may have just gotten scared off by her, the more they actually learned about her.

this was my position on warren from the start - i never really understood why she was being presented as a leftist in the first place, when she was obviously actually sort of a conservative.

and, i think the solution may be as simple as that people rejected her when they realized they didn't agree with her as much as they initially thought that they did.
