I personally think that if Sanders staff is now swiping harder at Warren, that's a good sign for her.

Warren and Sanders Share Union Endorsement: Campaign Update
Josh Eidelson September 26, 2019
Elizabeth Warren nudged past Bernie Sanders for first place in a presidential endorsement vote by members of a California health care workers union, though the group’s board gave its backing to both progressive candidates.
The National Union of Healthcare Workers endorsed Sanders in the 2016 race. Warren’s position as the leading candidate in the union vote Wednesday is yet another reminder of how she is increasingly moving ahead of Sanders and is challenging former Vice President Joe Biden as Democratic front-runner.
The 15,000-member California union says Warren got 61% while Sanders had 50% in the balloting, which let members make up to three choices.
Warren is making strong gains in national polls, including a Sept. 11-23 Quinnipiac University poll that showed her essentially tied with Biden.
Labor groups are an essential voting bloc for Democrats. Earlier this month, Warren won the endorsement of the Working Families Party over Sanders, dealing a blow to the Vermont senator and self-described democratic socialist. Sanders in August got an early endorsement from the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America. The 2 million member Service Employees International Union, which has not endorsed a candidate, is hosting the leading 2020 contenders at a forum in Los Angeles Oct. 4 and 5.
COMING UP
The United Food and Commercial Workers union will host forums in Iowa and Michigan with Democratic presidential candidates on Sept. 29 and Oct. 13. Michael Bennet, Joe Biden, Cory Booker, Pete Buttigieg, Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have confirmed that they will attend.
Another Warren stumble.

Don't make me make Bernie #1 pick. She was doing so well, damnit.
Are you stupid?
Now Gabbard is attacking Warren.
This chick is a goddamn AGENT
What straw man? Gabbard is a disgusting degenerate and trump hack her goal is to ensure his re election.You must think everyone is as lazy and stupid as you if you think anyone is falling for that strawman.
Another Warren stumble.

I'm open to Liz making mistakes and being held accountable for them,
but this is a pretty weak "controversy".
Refusing to rule out a VP because their child is on the board for a solar or wind energy company, or actually any foreign company according to the actual question, isn't problematic to me. It's far too broad a category, and the situation would need to be looked at closer.
Yeah I was reacting to Krystal and Saagar when I said controversy, not you. And I think Liz knows there's a higher than average opportunity for corruption, which is why her first reaction was to definitively say "No." but then she realized in real-time the broader implications of this (potentially blacklisting global progressive organizations) and said she'll have to think about it further. I truly don't think she was doing so to protect Biden, I think her first "No." reaction was in the context of Hunter Biden's fukkery, which she would disallow from her VP.So am I. It's why she's still my #1 pick.
I didn't even give it that much juice. I just said 'stumble'.
I agree with you and the other poster in the Primary thread. But she should know that working for foreign companies especially corporation is only a step behind actual lobbyists. And that the opportunity for corruption is above average. Also, being that confused because you know that saying 'no' is throwing Biden under the bus, is also a problem. Her answer isn't a dealbreaker but based on what I'm seeing, it's concerning.
