Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) made no mention of Hillary Clinton's newly-announced 2016 campaign during an economic speech on Monday, as she was greeted by a capacity-crowd that held "Run Warren Run" signs.
Warren urged labor groups and progressives to continue fighting against what she said was a Republican effort to deregulate the economy during her speech at the Good Jobs, Green Jobs forum.
...Warren advocated for more "smart regulations [that] give people information so they can make their own decisions."
Progressives have urged Warren to enter the race to challenge the former secretary of State, who formally announced her candidacy on Sunday. Warren has said repeatedly she is not running.

^Just an interesting observation...
Here's the forum video. Warren appears at around 42 mins or so~
Good stuff, as always!!!
(Actually this is a GREAT speech I wish the whole country would see/hear. Damn...)

(19,460 posts)Let's wait until we see who else will enter the primary and then I think she will comment. So far, the only comments from Senators have been negative ones from Rethuglicans. Elizabeth Warren would never make a negative comment about Clinton.

(7,830 posts)She's reliably authentic & honest as always. If you can't say anything positive, don't say anything. Especially if it means torpedoing the only true candidate running for your party at this point.
We can only hope we have more to offer this country.

(14,255 posts)is ridiculous. Oh, and I do not consider "Hillary would make a fine president"an endorsement.
And even if Warren endorses Hillary - my head will not explode or anything like that, I will consider that just politics, and continue to not be on the Hillary train.

Elizabeth has clearly NOT endorsed Hillary, in fact, saying Hillary may or may not be the future of the Democratic party.

(7,830 posts)politically savvy. Which is most of the general population! Warren explained in interviews she signed it because all the other women in the senate did. Can you imagine the fall-out had she been the only one to NOT sign it? The hounding by the media would've been unending...

That is waaay too egomaniacal for my tastes.
