I thought Elizabeth Warren's approach to the situation was rather sly.
In the days leading up to the speech, when asked repeatedly by reporters, Warren was very vague about her plans to attend. But just before the speech, she announced that she would not attend.
Could she possibly be playing a bit of the "offend nobody" game in prelude to a presidential run? That is, don't be adamantly against the speech so as to not offend potential swing voters, while giving no one a chance to say that she supported the speech.
It's well played, good politics unfortunately. I thought of her as the type of person who actually had principles and stood up for them, but I guess politics eventually trump principles.
