Elizabeth Warren’s good news for Bernie Sanders fans [View all]

Progressives have a mixed bag today.
Politico is reporting that the group most ardently advocating for Sen. Elizabeth Warren to run for president in 2016 is folding its tent. It realizes that the quest is futile.

Top pro-Elizabeth Warren group says she’s out

Bernie Sanders gains traction with plain speaking, authenticity

It comes down to one word: authenticity!
Bernie is the real deal.
