I Like Elizabeth Warren — Here’s Why I Think She Should Drop Out

Bernie Sanders won unequivocally in New Hampshire yesterday. Nevada and South Carolina are around the corner. Elizabeth Warren should drop out and endorse Sanders before Super Tuesday.

When Trump won the 2016 general election, my wife was eight months pregnant. And while I am no great fan of Hillary Clinton, on the morning of November 8, just weeks before my daughter was born, I foolishly assumed that she would be raised in a world with a female president. Instead, she’s lived through nothing but the Trump administration.

Not surprisingly, I’m desperate to get someone else in the White House and begin constructing a better America. I am a fan of Elizabeth Warren and her attempt to return to New Deal liberalism after decades of deregulation and deunionization. Bernie Sanders is also a fan and, in fact, he would not have run for president in 2016 if she had entered the race.

Despite intra-left fights this campaign season, I like Elizabeth Warren. I want my daughter to see a female president in her lifetime. But after her performance in New Hampshire yesterday, it is time for progressives still supporting her to consolidate around Bernie Sanders.
