Three no names trump one progressive leader?

Lewis is a good man whose work is in the past, but if they need coattails to hang on to, I suppose his are as good as anyone's.

even if they are not happy with her i think they will just hold off on an endorsement and would only do so if/when she locks up the nomination.
