11. Interesting timing. Are they hoping to split the vote between Bernie and Warren?...

... to help assure Hillary wins the nomination?

I'm hoping that if Liz gets in the race, we can get a gentleperson's agreement between Liz and Bernie that one of them pulls out before the first primary based on who seems to be doing better in the polls, etc. so that they don't split the vote between them.

Having a choice early on where hopefully both will be heard and echo many of their concerns that they share, we can amplify the messages of those concerns to be discussed in the primary later, even if only one is running then.

That's exactly what they want from Elizabeth Warren. AtomicKitten Apr 2015 #10

"to keep Hilary fresh in the public eye; Elizabeth Warren should run against her.” fuck that Autumn Apr 2015 #7

As I & others here predicted, Elizabeth WILL run & on her own terms. It's a smart strategy too-wait & watch Hillary, a notoriously bad campaigner, self-destruct. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2015 #8

Urging Elizabeth to run for the purpose of making Hillary look better sucks, IMO. merrily May 2015 #12
