Look, I like her. I'll probably donate a big check to this thing. I donated to her first campaign. But make no mistake what this really is. This is a "re-elect Warren" PAC. PAC's can do things than campaigns can't. I'd be surprised if every single senator doesn't have a PAC. It is how the game is played and she's gonna play.
