Krystal Ball tweets to blame Warren for Sanders not doing better

Posted a few minutes ago:





If Warren had dropped and endorsed Bernie when the centrists dropped and endorsed Biden, progressives would have had a fighting chance. She stayed in so she could get 3rd in her home state.

We should start hearing the Sanders crowd blaming Warren for not dropping out and "handing it" to him. Of course, that's assumes us Warren people are interested in Sanders. I, for one, am not. She goes out, it's Joe for me
