Given the choice in a primary, Warren or Sanders. Who and why?

I'm leaning towards Elizabeth due to the need to try and reign in big money, and that is one of her strengths.

This could change at the next cross breeze.

Then while Hillary is beating her, she (Hillary) would have to adopt partially what Warren is talking about to get her people votes etc

Warren is brilliant and a legislator big time

Tenure

In 1991, Sanders co-founded the Congressional Progressive Caucus, and chaired the grouping of mostly liberal Democrats for its first eight years. In 1993, Sanders voted for a National Rifle Association (NRA)-supported bill to restrict lawsuits against gun manufacturers and against the Brady Bill.[21] Upon the resignation of Democrat Ron Dellums in 1998, Sanders became the only Congressman to describe himself as a socialist.

And he gets done for the people who elected him. That's what we need, someone who puts the interests of those who elected them, first.

It looks to me like a Sanders run is only likely if the Dem establishment succeeds in allowing Hillary an uncontested race.

It figures that you'd want pie, you cake-hater.

I love Elizabeth Warren, and could also support her unequivocally.

But Bernie's my main man in politics, and I've been hoping his voice would have a louder megaphone since the early 90's. he pulls no punches, and has the loyalty of a lot of hardass working class types in VT. as well as us latte liberals.

At the very least, Bernie would inject some reality into the campaigns that might force Clinton to be somewhat more honest.

Senator Sanders is the only one I think is actually in touch with the real working class.

The truth is if Warren respects the establishments wishes and allows Hillary an uncontested run, I will be pretty skeptical of her, when she finally does run, because I will feel that she is now taking orders from the same neoconservative and neoliberal party bosses that guide Hillary.
