Cigar Store staffers learn How Life Works.
Woebegone Elizabeth Warren staffers — heartbroken and adrift after the Cambridge Democrat tearily ended her presidential campaign Thursday following on ignominious Super Tuesday showing — cried, drank, sought comfort dogs and made personal fundraising pitches as they faced sudden unemployment.
Volunteers, staff and supporters flocked to Twitter to share bitter accusations, misty-eyed memories and pictures of new tattoos freshly inked in support of the senator.
“As someone who has worked for the Presidential candidate who dropped out after an early primary: They dont want your takes. They dont want to tell you ‘what’s next.’ They dont want to tell you who they support now. They want you to Venmo them $10 for drinks and shut up,” tweeted Bobby Bauch, Iowa training director for Warren’s campaign.
Warren built up an extensive ground game from the start, hiring a huge roster of sought-after staffers to get out the vote. But those votes never materialized in sufficient numbers, and Warren’s exit left her staff with little to do except make mournful requests that varied from practical to pathetic.
Another takeaway. Maybe working for a candidate who has spent a couple of decades lying through her Caucasian teeth about her ethnicity for personal and professional gain was not the smartest move in the world, particularly when said white woman has the demeanor of a cross between an arrogant tenured professor and a nasty librarian.
Just a thought.
UPDATE: There are life lessons to be learned from participating in a losing presidential campaign. Unfortunately, in order to learn these lessons, one first needs to be an adult.

The 9 year old trans child told her to drop out.
"...sought comfort dogs..."
Yep. That's a thing now. You can get any dog classified as a working dog under the rubric of "comfort" and literally bring them anywhere. Logically nothing stopping comfort monkeys or comfort boa constrictorss as far as I can tell.
All the cheese shops on the Newton-Wellesley, Lexington-Concord corridor have closed in solidarity.
Listen, workers, go to the Division of Employment Security website, at mass.gov and look for a job. There are jobs going begging. Of course, you might have to actually work, but that's a story for another day.
Scott W.,
I'm surprised they didn't want comfort kittens and unicorns farting rainbows as well.
In other campaign news, Bloomberg campaign staff are being quoted as saying they didn't really work for him, but sometimes canvassed for other candidates. He spent all that money and got ripped off.
