I never thought Ms Warren would achieve the influence she already has. Speculating that she lost an advantage by not endorsing at this point may or may not be accurate but I think it confirms her integrity and valuation of policy over politics.
I think Ms Warren is well placed to steer a new path when more people are willing to hear the message.
