Nice praise for Sanders' candidacy from Elizabeth Warren.

[blm]

Bay State U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren welcomed fellow liberal from the north, Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, into the presidential sweepstakes yesterday, even as she continues to resist efforts to draft her into the race.

“I’m glad to see him get out there and give his version of what leadership in this country should be,” Warren said while at Middlesex Community College in Lowell yesterday. “I think that Bernie Sanders is going to play out a vision for America and that it is important for people to hear what he has to say.”

Warren has repeatedly said she will not run for president, despite a nationwide campaign urging her to throw her hat in the ring. Sanders shares many of Warren’s causes, such as breaking up big Wall Street banks, and many see him as the party’s only real chance to force Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton to tackle more liberal issues.

1. I wish many more Ds would 'run for President' for the media exposure to the general public

[onehandle]

2. It's early. There will be more.

Let the GOP KKKlown KKKar fall over itself to sell snake oil, for now.

[Sunlei]

3. the republicans use the 'clown car strategy' to dominate the media coverage.

We don't need to use unelectable RW extremists like the republicans do, however we need to dominate the public media.

[Koinos]

4. Sanity has little entertainment value.

[Sunlei]

8. only in american tabloid media.

15. GOP saw Idiocracy as a good plan.

14. I disagree. I think we shouldn't play the M$M game

The M$M is basically owned by corporatists who have deep ties to the conservative/RW world. Every $ that we spend on advertising in their media goes right back to the RW.

As long as it is possible (before the internet vendors start squeezing the tubes) we should be relying on social media, emails, small-town independent news organizations to get out the message.

Door-to-door, conversations in hallways/streets/shops, friends and strangers. That will win more votes than preaching to an already paid-for choir watching TV.

Bernie, Elizabeth - keep up your grassroots campaigning. It's obviously working so far. Don't waste resources on fancy consultants and ads.

This could be the time we take back democracy.

12. It's not early and there won't be...

..beyond O'Malley, Webb and Chafee.

This is not 1968 where you could step into the race two weeks before voting starts. Particularly in a post-CU world, you need money and staff, and both will be in short supply if you aren't up and running by now.

5. I hope she will endorse him

[Koinos]

6. I think that will happen only if he wins the nomination.

[onehandle]

7. Elizabeth signed a letter asking Hillary to run.

But if another candidate wins the primary, I'm sure she will back them.

13. Not an endorsement. Has support from only 26 of the 65 female Democrats in the House

And only fourteen of the 23 current Democratic senators who served alongside Clinton during her tenure in the upper chamber are backing her bid.

In 2013 all female senators signed letters encouraging Hillary Clinton, a female, to run.

Encouraging a run is not the same as an endorsement of a candidate.

Warren has not endorsed anyone in this race.

9. Once the die hard Warren-for-prez backers accpet that she isn't running, most will move to Sanders.

He move up in the polls as that happens.

[blm]

17. Probably.

[Omaha Steve]

10. Elizabeth ain't going to run

She is the real deal!

11. I'd love a Sanders/Warren ticket to a much better world.

In the General Election. They'd crush any GOP clown running,
it would address Bernies "age problem", while at same time
the fact that he's not a woman (like Hillary).

[libdem4life]

16. I like that idea, too. Wonder what the DNC will do or say.
