Many complaint tends to take on not the substance of Warren’s stated positions, but the style with which she delivers them. And it has been expressed by pundits as well as voters. 

Politico, in September, ran an article featuring quotes from Obama-administration officials calling Warren “sanctimonious” and a “narcissist.” 

The Boston Herald ran a story criticizing Warren’s “self-righteous, abrasive style.” The New York Times columnist Bret Stephens, in October, described Warren as “intensely alienating” and “a know-it-all.” Donny Deutsch, the MSNBC commentator, has dismissed Warren, the person and the candidate, as “unlikable”—and has attributed her failure to ingratiate herself to him as a result, specifically, of her “high-school principal” demeanor. “This is not a gender thing,”

Warren had something about her, apparently: something that galled the pundits and the public in a way that led to assessments of her as “condescending.” 

Warren’s “‘my way or the highway’ approach to politics,” Joe Biden argued in November, attempting to turn what might also be called principle into a liability, is “condescending to the millions of Democrats who have a different view.”

 Bernie or Biden. It's difficult to muster much more than the minimum enthusiasm needed to vote for either one.  

 They're old white guys, and there's reason to believe both are in less than optimal health condition.

Sanders had a heart attack not too long ago; Biden hasn't always appeared to be that sharp during his debating performances. It's an ongoing pastime for political observers to note how presidents seem to age quickly in office.

Biden, for instance, promises that his election will somehow bring the Republican Party to its senses  that the polarization which has defined American politics in the 21st century will somehow recede so that he can get stuff done. He is wrong.

Sanders is staking his election on a massive turnout of young voters that, so far, hasn't really materialized.  

Each man brings some unique weaknesses to the table. Biden has been in Washington, D.C., so long  nearly 50 years that he has naturally been on the wrong side of history a few times, from supporting the disastrous Iraq War to failing Anita Hill.

Sanders hints at having undemocratic tendencies: His unwillingness to provide full disclosure about his heart attacks and his praise for dictators, as is his willingness to take a different stance on the Democratic Party's nomination rules depending on what benefits him most.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, the progressive candidate who pumped out more than 50 policy proposals during her campaign, has suspended her presidential bid.
Warren's decision came on the heels of lackluster finishes on Super Tuesday -- including in her home state -- and in all four early states, despite putting boots on the ground earlier than most campaigns and touting one of the most organized campaigns. Her best finish was in Iowa, where she came in third. She came in fourth in New Hampshire, which neighbors her home state of Massachusetts, fourth in Nevada and fifth in South Carolina.

Elizabeth Warren faced the grim reality of finishing third on her home turf of Massachusetts and seemed unlikely to pick up as many delegates overall as her aides had confidently predicted she would just days before.
“Our internal projections continue to show Elizabeth winning delegates in nearly every state in play on Super Tuesday, and in a strong position to earn a sizable delegate haul coming out of the night,” wrote her campaign manager, Roger Lau, in a Sunday memo that claimed her campaign was “built to compete in every state and territory and ultimately prevail at the national convention in Milwaukee.”
But when the results from voting in 14 Super Tuesday states began trickling in as she left the stage, they fell short of even the modest predictions of her campaign aides only days earlier, leaving any path she still has toward the nomination non existing.

“I’m retiring,” Matthews said. “This is the last ‘Hardball’ on MSNBC.”
Matthews was due to retire in the near future with the events of the past week playing a factor in the timing of the move, an MSNBC spokesperson said.
After MSNBC aired a commercial following the announcement, Matthews did not return to the program. Steve Kornacki, a political reporter for the network, took over the rest of the hour, and seemed shocked by the news.

 “That was a lot to take in,” he said, saying it had been an honor to work with Matthews, and then beginning a discussion about the coronavirus response
The recent accusation that Matthews made inappropriate comments to a female journalist was not the first time he had faced such allegations. In 2017, The Daily Caller reported that MSNBC formally reprimanded Matthews over jokes and comments he made to a female employee in 1999. “For making such comments in the past, I’m sorry,” Matthews said on tonight’s broadcast.
Matthews had recently drawn criticism for comments about Sanders, who is currently the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination.  Matthews apologized after comparing Sanders' win in the Nevada caucuses to the Nazis taking over France in World War II.

Apparently, the Network thought that Sanders is the front runner at the time.
