Closest to my take as well. I don't get the hesitation, from an issues-first politician.

That is actually an endorsement. Cheering someone on generally means you are on their side.

I am good with whatever Warren does - unless she were to be named as Hillary's VP choice.

To me its all about the issues. Is this election about Progressive or Center, democratic principles?

Elizabeth Warren has not shown the courage I thought she had. We don't need cheerleaders.
