Elizabeth Warren endorses Bernie Sanders’ Wall Street plan

 Elizabeth Warren has not endorsed a candidate in the Democratic primary as of yet but today she did give what amounts to an endorsement of Bernie Sanders’ Wall Street plan. Here is more:

U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, one of the nation’s strongest proponents of financial reform, praised Bernie Sanders’ plan to hold Wall Street accountable Wednesday in a move that could rally support for his struggling presidential campaign.

“I’m glad @BernieSanders is out there fighting to hold big banks accountable, make our economy safer, & stop the GOP from rigging the system,” Warren tweeted of Sanders’ Wall Street plan, which he announced in a speech in New York City Tuesday. She also wrote: “11 big banks are still so risky that if any one started to fail, they’d need a gov bailout or risk taking down the economy — again,” and then added in a series of tweets supporting Sanders, “We need to level the playing field and end too big to fail.”

  This really is not a big surprise as Bernie Sanders has adopted Elizabeth Warren’s Wall Street agenda and is basically saying the same things, almost word for word, that the Senator from Massachusetts has been saying since she beat Scott Brown.

  However, Elizabeth Warren is a rising star in the Democratic party and there was a segment of the party that wanted her to run for the Presidency this time around as the anti-Hillary candidate. Bernie Sanders is running what I believe is the same campaign she would have run if she decided to enter the race so it will be interesting to see if Bernie Sanders is able to capitalize (pun fully intended) on this quasi-endorsement.

  I am not sure if this will have a big effect on the race or not because I believe most of Elizabeth Warren’s potential supporters are already backing Bernie Sanders as the anti-Hillary candidate. But still it could cause some of the former Secretary of State’s supporters who are on the fringe to take another look at Bernie Sanders. I guess time will tell…
