If I was looking at just those two, Warren would be the easy choice. Sanders has some support baked in from 2016, of course, but why she isn't doing better than he is this cycle has always been a bit of a mystery to me.

prefer Sanders over a much more accomplished Elizabeth Warren.

Any fair look at her decades of work would show that Sanders built his 2016 economic platform using the resultant data and information collected by committed workers and researchers like Warren and others.

I wish there were Sanders supporters who will tell these factions to stop spreading lies about Warren.

Warren showed her commitment by dedicating 2 decades to the economic issues of working families at their must vulnerable point. People who only heard of Sanders in 2015 think he alone has said and done anything meaningful. How much of what Sanders has said since he began his campaign in 2015 had its origin in Warren’s work product.

I'm being sarcastic, of course, but there are many of his supporters who act as though that's a truism. I usually write it off as people new to politics who don't understand that the Democratic party has a long history of fighting for women and fighting for minorities and fighting for poor people and fighting for education, etc. It could also be that they're being intentionally obtuse.

I do think that Warren made a bit of a tactical error by aligning herself with Sanders early on in the campaign on stuff like M4A. I think it's caused her to suffer a bit from blowback he's received on a couple of issues, simply by association.

That's hindsight, of course, and it's difficult to know what could or should have been done differently. As I noted above, I don't really get why she isn't doing much better than he is. Conventional wisdom is that they're splitting the same contingency, but I'm not sure that's all there is to it.

I have searched and this is what I have come up with. Nada.

Her husband and Hillary, that is all.

Hmm.

She’s smart, has lots of advisers, she could have developed her own plans and ideas. Sure, similar to sanders, but different.

Warren supporters...your thoughts?

She carried out on them. He is talk and she is action.

Please read CFPB. She did all this LONG before she became a Senator.

She already took them on. The GOP feared and still fears her. She is a woman of action.

Fact is I do not believe them to be friends, I believe she as a professional keeps it friendly. Huge difference.

She accomplished more before becoming a Senator and after she was a Republican.
