to consider the possibility of becoming his running mate. If it worked out that way of course, but in 2015 he wanted her and no one else if he ran.

Two things are for sure, of course, her statement about Sanders assists Biden and reject Sanders. Bet it felt good. People have been mixing the two of them up for too long.

part of her stump speech is comparing her Senate record to his.

Hint: she's had more legislative success in far fewer years on the job. Bernie tends to get too ideological and can't get co-sponsors.

Sun Mar 1, 2020, 12:56 AM

Frankly, think she should have done this sooner. The die-hard Bernie supporters were never going to switch. The way they savaged her after her reveal on Bernie's comment about women in the 2020 race, she was far too civil. She should have gone after him and his bully-boys then. Which is too bad because she's a far better candidate, IMHO. After Kamala Harris dropped out, Warren became my second choice after Joe Biden. Now, I don't think she can recover.

Although turn arounds are never out of the question.
