The Boston Globe has just endorsed "fearless and brilliant" Elizabeth Warren.

https://www.newsweek.com/massachusetts-largest-newspaper-endorses-fearless-elizabeth-warren-president-after-democratic-1489217?utm_term=Autofeed&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwAR3a9jt0lf76gwDMGjUJMG3gGX2SJYUGy-qhGMHGqSUshZoRMJGK991eldw#Echobox=1582740632

Massachusetts' largest newspaper, The Boston Globe, has endorsed Senator Elizabeth Warren for president, the candidate they describe as being "fearless and brilliant."

"Fearless and brilliant on her feet, Warren has the greatest potential among the candidates to lay bare Trump's weaknesses on a debate stage," the Globe editorial said. "The Senator gets the most mileage when she brings her fight ... to the real people in the room with her — whether businessmen or bureaucrats."

"She would fight the corruption and corporate influence that distort our politics, lift up working families, and combat gun violence and climate change."

The Globe's editorial writers also said that "any of the top six Democratic primary candidates would make a better president than the current occupant of the White House." They acknowledged that although Sen. Bernie Sanders is currently leading and carrying momentum, they believe "the party's presidential nominee is in no way a foregone conclusion," adding that "only three states have voted, and 97 percent of delegates are still up for grabs."

One thing that I like about Elizabeth Warren is how she took on Bloomberg in the debates. She cut him right down. And I think it is a smart move. Bloomberg is really a threat to the democratic process, and I think that Warren recognizes that.

Bloomberg has little real support, so he is literally trying to buy votes. He can not succeed through normal democratic processes. He is paying people to attend his speeches, and to spread his propaganda online. He is buying up all the professional political operatives across the country, depriving other campaigns of paid staff.

We do not need a Billionaire Plutocrat as President, messing up the Democratic Primaries. We do not need Republican Light. So, I am glad that Warren went after Bloomberg. I would enthusiastically support Warren should she win the Nomination. She is in my top three right now.

Elizabeth is head and shoulders above all the other remaining actual Dems (or Dems of convenience) left in the race. Go, Go, Go Liz!

Wake up America — Please, please wake up!!

I thought she was the most informed and well-reasoned
candidatebon the stage last night.. Glad the Globe was neither too corporate or too sexist to say so.

the camera and said "Donald Trump come and get some" although it would of probably hurt her in the polls, it would of been a classic moment. LOL
