Warren: 'I’m still cheering Bernie on’

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Thursday said she has no desire for Bernie Sanders’s exit from the Democratic presidential primary.

“He has put the right issues on the table both for the Democratic Party and for the country in general so I’m still cheering Bernie on,” she said while touring a community healthcare center in Quincy, Mass., according to The Associated Press.
“He’s out there,” Warren added when asked if she thinks the independent Vermont senator should suspend his presidential campaign. "He fights from the heart. This is who Bernie is.”

Warren refused comment on who she voted for in Massachusetts’s Democratic presidential primary earlier this month, AP reported. She also said she plans on making an endorsement but would not elaborate further on her pick.

Auto bailout, support for universal healthcare, etc. Some "good friend" that Hillary is. With friends like her I wouldn't need enemies.

The two of them are an honorable example of principled leaders.

of his campaign. He influenced the agenda and the conversation in a positive way. I agree far more with Sanders politically than with Clinton, I just don't think he's Presidential material. Good on him for doing as well as he has against long odds.

That said, I can also see when he's lost; he can stay in as long as he wants, but he won't catch up. It's all over but the tears and the teeth-gnashing at this point.

she would have done it already before so many states had voted. Senator Warren can do delegate math pretty well, and knows which candidate she's likely to be working with in the Oval Office come January 2017.
