Elizabeth Warren said she is ready for a convention floor battle this summer if none of the Democratic presidential candidates reaches a delegate majority during the primaries. CNNTownHall
The senator from Massachusetts made it clear at a CNN town hall in South Carolina that she would be willing to lobby superdelegates, who have votes on the second ballot if there's no outright winner, when asked if she would continue her candidacy even if she were trailing in the delegate count.Asked by an audience member why the person who gets the most votes shouldn't be awarded the nomination, Warren said the rules set a higher bar -- and that she intended to fight to the last.
So for me, Bernie had a big hand in writing these rules. I didn't write them," Warren said."When they were putting together the 2016 platform for the Democratic convention, those are the rules he wanted to write. And others wanted to write. Everybody got in the race thinking that was the set of rules," she added."I don't see how come you get to change it just because he now thinks there's an advantage to him for doing it.
