In an interview with International Business Times in February, Warren defended Sanders from criticism from Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein. "He thinks it’s fine to prosecute small business owners; it’s fine to go hard after individuals who have no real resources, but don’t criticize companies like Goldman Sachs and their very, very important CEO — that’s what he’s really saying,” Warren told IBT.

But according to the AP Thursday, Warren had compared both Democratic candidates favorably to the Republican options on the issue of healthcare.

“While the Democrats are saying, ‘Gee, is the right answer to the Affordable Care Act in the following six ways or go all the way to single payer [healthcare]?’ — which is a good debate to have — the Republicans are saying they are going to repeal the Affordable Care Act and replace it with something they can’t describe,” she said.

In comments that echoed some of the chief critiques levied by 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney against Republican candidate Donald Trump, Warren expressed skepticism about the GOP billionaire's business record. While the often braggadocios Republican front-runner says he's a smart businessman, Warren said that was a big stretch, according to the AP.

"Donald Trump claims that the reason he’s qualified to be president of the United States is that he is a very, very, very successful businessman. Donald Trump is not a great business success, and it’s time he’s called out on it,” she said.
