That was when he described Noam Scheiber's recent New Republic essay on Elizabeth Warren as "nonsense." He also said it was too long. I found both these comments rather superficial. Ask him, if you would, how one should go about recruiting Elizabeth Warren to run for President. I might also like to know whether he has reconsidered his opinion on the Scheiber essay.

Thanks, Manny. Hope it goes well.
