choices for President really are. There would be no reason for them to be spending this much time and effort slinging mud at Senator Warren and her backers unless they seriously think the draft Warren movement will in the end succeed in getting her to change her mind and run, and even if it doesn't, at the very least she has enough political clout with rank and file party members to influence the way policy is shaped in a major way.

If they think throwing manure at her and by extension we her supporters, is going to shut us up and or somehow magically convert us to their side then they are very poor students of human nature. It usually has the opposite effect. It will make the likelihood of converting us or just convincing us to stay silent even less likely.

Let's just say it reflects more negatively on their candidates of choice than ours.
