Elizabeth Warren noncommittal on primary endorsement, but praises Bernie Sanders

“Bernie is doing what Bernie always does — he’s out there talking from the heart, raising the issues that he’s raised for decades now,” Warren said. “That’s just who he is.”

Her words echoed past appraisals of the Vermont senator, who trails Clinton in the polls in all early-voting states besides New Hampshire.

“Bernie is there on the issues,” Warren told Cassidy in June. “That’s what matters to a lot of people.”

Liz will endorse Bernie right before Iowa, and it will be a BIG boost for Team Bernie and mark the beginning of the end for Camp Weathervane

Warren and Clinton, who has campaigned toward the Demcratic party’s progressive base, share common ground on many issues. However, the two split on the issue Warren cut her teeth on as a Harvard professor and consumer protection advocate: banks.

Hillary already has endorsements from Rep John Lewis and Sharrod Brown, among many others, including from unions and civil rights icons. Far more weight.

But as a general word of advice: I'm sure I am not the only one who'll feel vexed when someone dismisses Ms. Warren as if she is inconsequential. She is a woman of great intelligence and one of the few senators with the background to hard-hittingly question financial specialists on otherwise obtuse matters. Try not to be so dismissive about her, please.
