Say this for Elizabeth Warren and her stalwart supporters: despite a rough start that includes disappointing results in Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada, they’re keeping the faith — insisting that the race for the Democratic nomination will be a long one, and that the Massachusetts senator is *still *the candidate best situated to unite the party and take on Donald Trump in November, early outcomes be damned. So…does it pass the smell test? And just how high should expectations for Warren be in her own backyard? Adam Reilly and Peter Kadzis talk it through with two high-profile Warren surrogates, Boston City Councilor Michelle Wu and Massachusetts State Senator Eric Lesser.
