Elizabeth Warren praises Bernie Sanders: His ‘vision for America’ is ‘important for people to hear’
Source: RawStory/The Boston Herald
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) may not be running for president herself, but that didnt 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.
Im 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.

(9,126 posts)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.

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

(9,126 posts)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.
