11. Yes, Warren is a big achiever. AND, what she says she'll do,

she will fight for until accomplished, working with others with the same goals of course.

Btw, I know you mean well, but to my mind the differences between Warren and Sanders are huge and defining, to the point of comparing the two an injustice to her. It's not just that she wouldn't endorse him for president before, but she couldn't.

Very unlike Warren, Sanders has a long record of discrepancy between what he says and what he does. His unwillingness to work with others means he's failed to use his power as a U.S. senator to fight for his goals as Warren does, and his record of achievement is shockingly low for a man who's spent almost 3 decades at the center of power in DC.

Note that recently, out of principle and decency, his fellow senators -- of course -- got on board to support the Yemen bill he cosponsored with a Republican senator because the Republicans were going to allow it to pass. But this came weeks and even months after he either refused to speak up for or even opposed similar bills sponsored by Democrats. Tragic delay when he could have used his public face to call for public support for them, but they were not HIS bills with HIS name on them, and he didn't.

Please understand, Warren wouldn't do a thing like that. Btw, she's introducing an extremely strong anti-corruption lobbying control bill that goes significantly farther than our Democrats' current, huge For the People democracy reform package, HR1, which also includes lobbying reform. I'm a big fan of both HR1 AND of her efforts in this respect. You won't find her sabotaging HR1 because it's a big team project and she can't claim it as entirely her own. She'll work to make it even more comprehensive when it comes to the senate and be all in for passing it.
