91. I'm sure she would say 'yes' and I would agree with her. What I did NOT agree with

before Bernie announced, was the notion, being pushed by some of Hillary's supporters, that only she was a legitimate candidate, and AFTER his announcement, that his only purpose might be to move her more to the Left.

It was arrogant to assume that the country had only one candidate who was 'qualified' as we were being told frequently to run for that office.

Bernie has now proven that to be grossly incorrect and that alone is good for this democracy which is shrinking year by year. He has put an end to that particular anti-democratic notion.

Did she say it or not? Clearly she did, so I'm not sure why you keep talking about the source sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #99

one thing I notice is madokie Jun 2015 #41

I like how you bring Hillary supporters into it. NCTraveler Jun 2015 #62

I'm not aware of what you are saying. NCTraveler Jun 2015 #76

Of course you don't madokie Jun 2015 #77

I see...this is a fantasy post brooklynite Jun 2015 #12

You are ignoring the fact that this is a Left leaning nation according to every poll sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #28

This is a CENTER-LEFT leaning nation when it comes to voting brooklynite Jun 2015 #51

No it is not. That is why so many Dems are now registered Independents, because your claim sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #69

LOL -- middle class voters would be scared of Warren on a ticket with Sanders JonLP24 Jun 2015 #96

That's your wishful thinking. She has also written a letter urging Hillary Clinton to run. pnwmom Jun 2015 #13

Did she write it, or just sign it with the other Senators? polichick Jun 2015 #15

If she signed it, she meant it. (I'm not aware who exactly penned it. But it doesn't matter.) n/t pnwmom Jun 2015 #19

did she do the nod and a wink thing when she said it dlwickham Jun 2015 #59

Have you compared her Senate voting record to Bernie's by any chance? Just asking, I note the sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #63

She is far more in sync with Bernie on the issues than she is with Hillary, as Bernie's support sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #40

How do you think she'd answer the question onenote Jun 2015 #71

I'm sure she would say 'yes' and I would agree with her. What I did NOT agree with sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #91

In a sense. Donald Ian Rankin Jun 2015 #24

All very good points... Javaman Jun 2015 #100
