Question: Are Warren supporters in this group now with Bernie? If not, why?

I was going to make this a poll with a variety of possible answers, but I am not so ambitious today. Please supply your own elaboration.

Obvious choice, for me! And, evidently, he has said that he would not have run if she did, so no hesitation at all.
I feel that Liz and Bernie are pretty much on the same page.

It took me a little time to get over it, but I did. I had just read her book and was so crazy for her I simply couldn't imagine her not running for/and being elected to the presidency. Hope dies hard...

I still think Elizabeth should have run, but since she won't, Bernie is the natural choice. Actually, I think Bernie got in because Elizabeth declined to run.
