“The answer is: this Massachusetts Senator should really stop talking because everything she says is just making things worse”
During a post-game interview, Warren seemed baffled by the turn of events.
“I don’t understand,” said Warren. “I phrased it in the form of a question every time, didn’t I? See? I even phrased THAT as a question! How could I be wrong? Maybe I should’ve mixed it up a little with “what is banning guns?” or “what is raising taxes?” but, well, a new government program has been my answer to everything for so long, I just assumed it would work as my question, too.”
While the game itself was painful to watch – both for Warren’s increasingly aghast-looking fellow contestants as well as for audience members whose boos and catcalls had become almost deafening by the end of the game – some scenes from the taping have leaked out and gone viral. Most notably, perhaps, the closing exchange between Warren and host Alex Trebek:
TREBEK: I’m sorry, Elizabeth, but since your score is negative… PROFOUNDLY negative… you are not eligible to participate in Final Jeopardy
WARREN: Thanks, Alex. I had fun. You’re a good American
TREBEK: Actually, I’m Canadian. And you’re an idiot.
WARREN: Really? I’m 1/1024th Canadian! 23andMe says so!
TREBEK: Then I assume the other 1023 parts are idiot?
WARREN: 1022. There’s some Cherokee in there, too

Heh… I don’t know if it’s appropriate to use that phrase when talking about Elizabeth Warren…
Yea but Bernie Sanders holds the record for sweeping a category: ‘From Russia With Love’.
