Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) may not be running for president herself, but that didn’t stop her from praising Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders (I-VT) at a recent event.

While participating in a roundtable discussion at Middlesex Community College on Friday, Warren was asked about Sanders’ presidential campaign.

“I’m glad to see him get out there and give his version of what leadership in this country should be,” Warren told the group, according to the Boston Herald. “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.”

Progressive Democrats have pushed for Warren to make a bid for the White House, but she sees eye-to-eye with Sanders on many issues. For the most part, pundits agree that Sanders and Warren would be long shots for winning the nomination, but they could push Hillary Clinton to the left on some issues.

1. I wonder if there are any moderate teapartiers who if presented with Bernie vs

some one percent thief like Bush, would be able to see the light?

3. I hope so, and unless they can argue Water isn't wet, Facts will

shut them up .

6. Moderate Tea Party is an oxymoron

Sanders doesn't need them, he needs Democrats.

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

8. True, but he could use them if he wins the dem nom

i think he could get more than Hillary could

[BrotherIvan]

9. There is not very many of them, so he doesn't need to pander

If they like what he's saying fine. But they shouldn't be part of the equation. By paying attention to their very small minority, they get far too much credit. The majority of Americans believe in liberal policies, as has been shown time and again. They unfortunately don't have anyone that represents them. They don't have anyone that fights for them, or just a few.

10. I agree with what you are saying but NOT the idea that there arent many of them

There may be a modest number who self identify as teaparty, so lets forget that tag and talk about the people who vote repub


Lots of people do, you know

Almost none of them have any money or any reason to

So could they wrap their heads around what he is saying, and I would NEVER want Bernie to change his tune for them, and I didnt say that

12. Anyone who votes Republican will do what Fox News tells them to

He will get the most from Independents. In the end, after the great socialist scare Fox dreams up, Republicans will fall in line and vote for Jeb. But they can't win because they don't have the electoral votes. He's already attracting libertarians, but Christian fundamentalists will never vote for him.

14. true, I guess there are a whole lot of teaparty minded, republican minded who claim to be

independents or who changed to that when they realized what a disaster W was

[BrotherIvan]

15. Perhaps, they're likely libertarians

We'll see how it goes.

[cui bono]

18. If you only asked them about the positions and didn't mention D or R, yes, absolutely. n/t

2. He & Her are the precious few !!!!

[candelista]

4. Non-endorsement endorsement.

Can't blame her. The whole power structure of the Party is pro-Hillary.

[donnasgirl]

5. they could push Hillary Clinton to the left on some issues.

Why should anyone have to be pushed left, I do not want a Candidate I have to push I want a Candidate who is true to his or her beliefs, which is why I am backing Bernie Sanders.

[BrotherIvan]

7. Amen

[rhett o rick]

11. The only thing that's apt to be "pushed to the left" re. Clinton, is her rhetoric. nm

[FailureToCommunicate]

13. Meh. Weak sauce.

(Don't get me wrong. We love our Senator. Maybe she's just hedging her bets for now?)

[onehandle]

16. ...after signing a letter asking Hillary to run.

Sure. Why not?

17. K & R Please x-post in the Sanders group.

19. K & R !!!
