So why do I like Warren so much and Sanders so little? [View all]

Throughout 2016 I endorsed most of Sanders positions, but didn't want him as my president. I didn't think his positions had a chance and his temperament eliminated him from my consideration as the leader of my country. Then Warren came around. At first I didn't endorse her. But then I heard some of her arguments and I was persuaded. Her temperament is fine as far as I'm concerned. Are there others of you who like Warren but would consider Sanders only as a last resort?
