Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said Friday that while she thinks she “would have made a better president” than Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) or former Vice President Joe Biden, her campaign came at the “wrong moment in time.”
In a post mortem interview with the Boston Globe, she said that she underestimated the depth of the divide between the progressive and moderate wings of the party that ultimately were too far apart for her to bridge.
“The big decisions were right. The team we built was right. Even if we’d improved some other things, I don’t think it would have changed the outcome,” she said. “This is just a different moment in time and I’m sorry that that’s the case.”
Warren was also resistant to the notion that she should toss her support to one of the remaining men, asking why she should “owe” anybody an endorsement. She has though promised to “wholeheartedly support” the eventual nominee.
Doesn’t everyone who runs think they’d be the best at it?
I mean, she’s not wrong.
Good for her. The rightwingnuts would use anything she says against the other one if the one she backs loses the nomination. They will, anyway, but no need for her to hand them more ammunition.
The two old white guys will have to duke it out and then she will get behind whichever one is nominated to take down Trump.
I don’t think it’s fair to demand more of her at this time.
Biden, Bernie, Warren, Buttigieg and even Bloomberg would make way more better president than the Criminal IMPeetus.
That said , IMHO, Biden’s resurgence to front runner was the comfortable choice amidst fear of another 4 more years of cruelty, corruption and criminality. One can only hope that great ideas by other presidential nominees will be adopted by either Biden or Bernie.
Remember in November…

I call BS.
if you leaned a little more towards the moderates, the middle of the road voters your numbers would have been better. It seemed you were showing a “grudge” and they were suppose to pay for and fix everything.
That would be like walking up on a bull and kicking him in the balls and think he might not crush you into the ground.
Anyway, maybe next time.
