3. I hope to see both out there on the campaign trail.

If Warren isn't running for President, then I expect to see her stumping for Bernie addressing Wall Street/Main Street issues (which she is an expert on) from the Populist side. Move On and DFA could throw their support behind Bernie later on. There's no need now for them to drop Elizabeth and declare for Bernie. We need both voices speaking out against failed policies and working towards a new Populist future for the Democratic Party. Now that Bernie has announced he can chart his own way with funding and it may actually be better for him not to have automatic support from Move on and DFA at this point in time if he is to attract a broader group of voters and show the Republican Clown Car up for what they are by focusing on issues they refuse to address.

Warren's weakness is Foreign Policy. That's going to be an issue that needs to be front and center in the 2016 Election. If we can't get our Foreign Policy in hand we won't have money for anything for the working people. We've spent too much in growing our vast Military Industrial Complex and caused chaos, death and destruction in MENA that will haunt us for decades. Bernie has an advantage with his experience in State Government and the Senate. Warren doesn't have the foreign policy experience and connections that Bernie has which is his advantage.

I support both of them...however it plays out.
