Dem base: Fine with Hillary Clinton, pining for Elizabeth Warren

DETROIT — Their heads might be with Hillary Clinton, but their hearts are decidedly with Elizabeth Warren.
As the high-profile annual confab of progressives called Netroots Nation kicked off here Thursday, it took no time for a consensus on 2016 to emerge. Interviews with more than a dozen attendees made clear the liberal base sees Clinton as a perfectly acceptable option — and probably their best shot at keeping the White House in Democratic hands.
Yet they still pine for the unattainable — the crusading senator from Massachusetts — never mind that Warren has said every which way it’s not happening. Warren is set to deliver a much-anticipated keynote address on Friday morning; Clinton, who is still on a book tour to promote her new memoir, is not expected to attend.
