Two of the Senate’s highest-profile progressives are attracting presidential speculation — again. Roughly two years after Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) suspended…
Sure, Sanders would probably have lost even with Warren's endorsement, but her silence was a calculated kneecapping of Bernie's momentum at a critical junction. Her favorability has suffered so much in recent years that we forget just how influential she was at the time. In hindsight, it was foolishly naive of us to assume she was a Sanders ally just because they aligned superficially on a few populist issues. And yeah, he would have slayed in the general. But alas... :flattened-bernie:
