Elizabeth Warren will not rule out the possibility of campaigning or endorsing Bernie Sanders.

Massachusetts U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren isn’t ruling out joining ultra-liberal Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders on the campaign trail in New Hampshire, saying she’s not surprised at all that the Vermont senator is surging in the polls and drawing enthusiastic Granite State audiences. 

“Bernie’s out talking about the issues that the American people want to hear about,” Warren, who hasn’t endorsed anyone in the Democratic primary yet, told the Herald yesterday. 

Asked if she would campaign with Sanders at some point, she didn’t dismiss the idea. 

“Too early to say,” she said.

The article goes on to suggest that Warren does not seem convinced that Sanders can unseat Hillary for the nomination:

 “Bernie is there on the issues. That’s what matters to a lot of people.”

I listened as the talking heads on MSNBC discussed the likelihood of Warren endorsing Sanders and the consensus seemed to be that his loss to Hillary would impact her political gravitas, though I doubt anybody would blame Warren for a Sanders defeat, while endorsing Hillary might cause some of her supporters to wince at the idea she is playing it safe.

Personally I think that campaign events featuring Elizabeth Warren with Bernie Sanders would attract crowds easily three times the size of any Republican candidate and even Hillary herself. (Not that Sanders needs much help attracting crowds.)

And it might garner quite a bit of the media attention that currently is being soaked up by the craziness of the GOP clown car.
