to stay neutral in the primaries.

I think Elizabeth Warren realizes all too well that the important thing is to make sure that one of these three people makes it to the White House next year.

...she supports ALL candidates in their determination to reform wall st..

I appreciate that she's not allowing herself to be used as a partisan wedge in our party. That's leadership to me.

As someone who thinks she'd be a good VP, that's fine by me.

...especially since the divide between Sanders' platform and Clinton's is so wide.

It's much more credible to point to her consistent support for the issues she's advocating. She's also been much more supportive of the details of Sanders' economic plans than of Clinton's.

I'm glad @BernieSanders is out there fighting to hold big banks accountable, make our economy safer, & stop the GOP from rigging the system.
