Rachel and Elizabeth Warren, last night...didnt see a thread here yet on this

Assume there is one.

Noticed Rachel didnt ask, was probably told not to, about Indiana law.

Noticed Elizabeth went out of her way to talk in generics so much so that I wasnt sure if she would support the Democratic nominee or not if she isnt it.



kind of a weird interview...I still think she will not run and will support our nominee, but after last night, who knows

make things better and how hard it would be if the repubs took the White House and Congress. Yesterday she said to listen to Hillary. There is no doubt she will support the Dem candidate.
It infuriates me sometimes when DUers won't take what she says seriously and instead push their fantacies out there as if those were the reality!

a more direct response about support for who might run, but there is still time for that.

But why would she still have not said a word about Indiana, I dont get it.

she is granting interviews and giving speaches all the time. I am for listening to what she says. She is doing great things for us. We should not load her up with all our hopes and dreams she is just one person. Let's expect more from the rest of Congress.

through the most virulent and literally deadly era of Republican homophobia. It speaks very loudly that she went to Maddow and said nothing. It was profoundly disappointing.

do have rules of what you can and cant ask the person, which is normal for all of these interviews.

You would think Rachel, of all people in the media, would have pushed REAL hard for the question too, and yet no question.

You would have to MUZZLE me to stop me from speaking out about it

YOUR response to me is making me even angrier, in that I am not the only one wondering about this and is there more to it than we know...

Is her ideology such that she CANT run for president as a Democrat?
