No, I want someone with the strength of their convictions and commitment to core principals of the Democratic party. Not someone who tells people what they want to hear and votes whichever way the political winds are at the time.

I guess people never change... brooklynite Jan 2016 #1

The difference... Armstead Jan 2016 #6

And if Warren were running for Prez against St. Bernie, she'd be getting the same treatment. Buzz Clik Jan 2016 #20

So, you would give Elizabeth Warren "the same treatment" Segami Jan 2016 #23

For sure! tazkcmo Jan 2016 #30

I would support her just as I support Sanders -- unconditionally. Buzz Clik Jan 2016 #46

I will never support any candidate unconditionally... ever. More importantly, neither do you. Bubzer Jan 2016 #71

Sanders supporters are in love with their concept of who they want him to be. Buzz Clik Jan 2016 #79

I wholly disagree with you that ... tex-wyo-dem Jan 2016 #92

hillary is your first choice, yes? Bubzer Jan 2016 #98

LOL! Yes, my comment is saying that I will vote the for Dem nominee. Buzz Clik Jan 2016 #101

I'd probably vote Warren over Sanders. tazkcmo Jan 2016 #33

I agree. tazkcmo Jan 2016 #63

Sanders vs. Warren is a tough call thesquanderer Jan 2016 #59

Warren lacks the many years of experience that Sanders has (and Clinton has). DhhD Jan 2016 #73

It probably wouldn't happen, but if it did, she would NOT get the same treatment Armstead Jan 2016 #37

No. I think that if Warren were running, Bernie wouldn't be. PatrickforO Jan 2016 #52

I don't think "St. Bernie" would have run if Warren had.... daleanime Jan 2016 #64

Many Sanders supporters moved to him when Warren didn't run thesquanderer Jan 2016 #65

Maybe there's a Fourth Way... or a Fifth Way. If there is, surely Hillary will find it. InAbLuEsTaTe Jan 2016 #24

"Where There's A Hil, There's A 'Way'"? Ken Burch Jan 2016 #111

Most don't tazkcmo Jan 2016 #34

Warren's transformation went beyond social change..... raindaddy Jan 2016 #39

Hillary is still a third way- free market capitalist daybranch Jan 2016 #62

I'd be careful comparing Clinton to Elizabeth Warren CoffeeCat Jan 2016 #74

Paid Hillary troll Loudestlib Jan 2016 #89

What an ignorant thing to say. randome Jan 2016 #99

But as a 1%er, I thought I didn't need to be paid... brooklynite Jan 2016 #114

Fascinating, is it not? Hekate Jan 2016 #117

Warren has loudly rejected the right wing policies and principles. Hillary is endorsing most of them Ferd Berfel Jan 2016 #113

She has ambition. Bernie does not have that. He is not doing this for Bernie, unilke Clinton. Gregorian Jan 2016 #4

Oh, yeah. People with zero ambition run for president all the time ... are career politicians. Buzz Clik Jan 2016 #7

Here's a word I like: context. Buzz Clik Jan 2016 #5

Context Armstead Jan 2016 #8

That isn't context. Sorry. That fits one of two other words: Buzz Clik Jan 2016 #11

Yes, a rationalization to avoid the principles of the democratic party JonLeibowitz Jan 2016 #81

It was a non sequitur. Buzz Clik Jan 2016 #85

YES. Once again, you nail it, Armstead. kath Jan 2016 #32

Do you know how to write? Segami Jan 2016 #10

Heh heh heh. Your video has no context, irrespective of your juvenile attempt to turn this around. Buzz Clik Jan 2016 #12

If you want juvenile, see post #5 Segami Jan 2016 #13

This is what you bring: "I know you are, but what am I?" Buzz Clik Jan 2016 #17

I think you left out the word "know'' YOHABLO Jan 2016 #22

He took it out of context BillZBubb Jan 2016 #36

Here's a word i like: Bernie!!! ... here's another: authentic. InAbLuEsTaTe Jan 2016 #31

It's a mix, in terms of context. thesquanderer Jan 2016 #47

She comes across like a moderate RepubliCON much like Obama does today. fasttense Jan 2016 #51

Apples and oranges. pangaia Jan 2016 #60
