so there are a lot of recriminations still re Sanders and Warren not endorsing each other at various points, but there& #39;s a reason the Warren team& #39;s main loathing was directed at Buttigieg. 1

Pete was thoroughly underqualified and had no chance of winning. he ran a vanity campaign for the national press. the main person that hurt was Warren. 2

Buttigieg took a lot of her educated white suburban voters.

if he hadn& #39;t done that, it& #39;s pretty easy to see a bunch of scenarios in which she would have at least had a chance to beat Biden.

she still might have been done in by SC, but it could have been very close.

it& #39;s really hard to argue Sanders shouldn& #39;t have run given his support and fundraising, but Buttigieg really did not have the experience for the position. he shouldn& #39;t have been in the race.
