Why Sanders is a good fit for Warren backers


The Ready For Warren organization sent me an email about a big announcement. The gist of the email is embodied in their CNN opinion piece.

Talking about members of the Ready For Warren campaign, the article said the following:

They are also ready to back “Warren Wing” candidates who embody Warren’s fearless brand of progressive populism. And although it isn’t just about the presidency, 58% of supporters have urged us to back Bernie Sanders as the candidate currently running for president who best embodies the values that Warren champions.

I am firmly in that 58% who urged the support of Bernie Sanders. The article explained why the creation of a new organization to back Sanders.

Why?

Because while Warren is the champion who inspired this movement, the draft effort was never just about her — it’s about her message and the values she represents.

This is pretty darn close to the exact words I used in many an email and opinion survey answers that I directed to Ready For Warren. What is left unsaid in the article is that of the 42% who did not suggest backing Bernie Sanders, how many of those just did not mention the topic of supporting another candidate. I don’t think that those who do not want to back Bernie Sanders is anywhere near that 42%
