Things are moving fast in American politics, but see if you can remember back five months to last fall. At the time, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts was the most likely Democratic nominee.
She had big leads in both Iowa and New Hampshire. She had overtaken establishment designated front-runner, Joe Biden, in the national polling.
The race last fall was Warren's to lose -- and lose it she did, spectacularly.
Warren didn't win a single state. In fact, she never took second place. She got creamed in Massachusetts where she lives.
On Thursday, finally, Warren dropped out, having succeeded only in humiliating herself. As the Babylon Bee put it, "Warren returns to tribe in shame after failing to take land back from the pale faces." You can imagine how disappointed the Cherokees were.
