(Mar. 31, 2016 18:00) — Stephen Colbert pushes Elizabeth Warren to choose between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton

Elizabeth Warren visited The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Wednesday to promote the new edition of her book, A Fighting Chance. During the interview, host Stephen Colbert asked the popular Democratic senator why she’s refused to endorse either Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton, and her thoughts on Donald Trump.

The comedian first asked Warren if she was surprised by the success that Sanders has had against Clinton. She responded that she feels that both candidates have done a good job of making the case that Washington isn’t working for most people. Colbert continued to push her on which candidate’s approach is more appealing to her, asking whether she’s on board with Sander’s revolution or Clinton’s “slow and steady” strategy.

It’s time for Elizabeth Warren to take a stand
by Yvonne Abraham, Globe

(Mar. 23, 2016) — What Arthur Balfour once said of a young Winston Churchill is also true of Senator Elizabeth Warren.

“The right honorable gentleman’s artillery is very powerful but not very mobile,” Balfour said, taunting the eloquent speechifier about his inability to think on his feet.

We’ve seen the same from Warren recently. First, the power: Our senior senator delivered a blistering takedown of GOP front-runner Donald Trump earlier this week, blowing holes in his supposed business acumen, calling him out for his “petty bullying, attacks on women, cheap racism, and flagrant narcissism,” and his “embarrassing insecurities.”

Former Clinton Official, Endorses Bernie Sanders
By Kerry Picket, The Daily Caller

(Feb. 27, 2016 01:07) Democratic Party presidential candidate Bernie Sanders on Friday received an endorsement from former Clinton Administration Labor Secretary Robert Reich.

“I endorse Bernie Sanders for president of the United States,” Reich wrote in a Facebook post. “He’s leading a movement to reclaim America for the many, not the few.

In January Sarandon spoke at a Sanders rally in Brooklyn, N.Y. She said she has fallen in disfavor of some women.

Speaking to a large crowd Sarandon explained, “I don’t vote with my vagina,” she said. “It is so insulting to women to think that you would follow a candidate just because she’s a woman.”

“He (Sanders) is just right on. Every single thing he has said was prescient, strong and brave.”
