40. Yes, yes, I've seen that.

Of course she meant that Hillary should go for it. Why not? Senator Warren is a nice person, as well as a good politician.

And of course she'd say "Hillary is terrific." Why not? Surely Hillary is terrific, as are most of the Democratic senators. It's not a terribly well thought-out, personal compliment. But it's friendly and nice.

However, you cannot conclude from those nice gestures that Elizabeth Warren subscribes to Hillary's views on the issues. You cannot conclude that until Senator Warren formally endorses Hillary. And even if she were to do so, it may very well be for purely political purposes -- for instance, if Hillary were to win the nomination, Elizabeth would have to endorse her, as would Bernie and all the Democrats. That would be quite different from agreeing with Hillary's position on the issues, or even thinking highly of her for that matter.
