When does Sen. Elizabeth warren publicly chastise Bernie Sanders actions in

[beachbumbob]

not accepting defeat?....Warren knows what's at stake...I'm thinking in the coming days...Lets see how sanders follwers reacts then...does she get threats and harassment too..Even death threats?

[comradebillyboy]

1. Waiting for Waren, is this the remake of Waiting for Godot?

[Koinos]

4. Different characters, same plot.

Of course, we also have "Waiting for Birdie."

[Walk away]

2. She isn't. But she is going to endorse her at the convention. Maybe even nominate her.

That's my guess.

[Rose Siding]

11. omg I LOVE the way you think!

Wouldn't that be ideal?

[BobbyDrake]

3. I don't see much courage from Warren so far. She appears to be covering her own rear...

...more than anything else. Top level fence-sitting, no doubt.

And then acts like she should be VP as though she's the only alternate to Bernie. Nope.

[Lord Magus]

21. Does she even want to be VP?

I honestly think Elizabeth Warren is exactly where she wants to be right now as a US Senator.

[NanceGreggs]

30. When did she "act like she should be VP"? n/t

[Koinos]

5. If Warren holds her cards too long, the good hand may disappear.

[beachbumbob]

6. The countdown is under way...IF WARREN doesn't try to get sanders in line....the

Future won't matter

[TwilightZone]

20. Nah, she knows what she's doing.

The ship is sinking just fine without her piling on.

She knows that it's more important to show a united front once we have a nominee. Plus, she's already in GE mode, attacking Trump.

[nolabear]

25. I think that's right. She seems to be playing out line.

A good, solid baiting of Trump and enough patience to stay out of the main line of fire for now will be a real help in the long run.

[Hekate]

7. Warren will do what's right, and I mean that. She's not on "our" schedule, though.

I want her in the Senate where she can gain power and influence far beyond that of a VP and not be limited to two terms.

When she does speak out, though, I fully expect the Bernie cult to act with unreasoning rage....

[beachbumbob]

8. Sooner than later so the 90% of sanders supporters see clearly the wack cases

Behind sanders....once warren speaks out...the fallout would be huge and we could see unification except for the fringe left that NEVER helps democrats...it need to be done before June 7th

[Rose Siding]

13. She will, as will Hillary

Love the suggestion upthread, though, of Sen Warren nominating Hillary.

The president would be good, too. I wonder if that's ever done?

[DemonGoddess]

23. they've already shown that they

react with unreasoning rage when Massachusetts had its primary, and she had not endorsed anyone. They were HORRIBLE to her.

[Raissa]

9. I like what she is doing.

She should keep her focus on Trump.

I think it's smart for her to stay out of everything else. When the primaries officially conclude she'll be a strong piece of the unity effort IMO.

[Rose Siding]

14. She's very good at riling Trump.

Sort of at odds with some Sanders supporters inclinations. They should pay attention to how Sen Warren is doing this!

[SharonClark]

16. Agree 100%

[BootinUp]

10. There is no crisis that needs to be addressed publicly

I suggest that if you didn't see Rachel's show the other night on the subject of Democratic divisiveness in May, you might want to check it out. Go here http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show and find the video called "Intra-party acrimony common to primaries"

Here this may work

[Fla Dem]

12. She's not going to do that. She's more effective going after Trump. Going after Sanders

would just throw more fuel on the fire. She is not a Hillary surrogate, she is not an "official" of the DNC. She has no obligation to go after Bernie.

[Koinos]

15. She will come out loud and strong for Hillary at the convention.

The question is whether she will be heard over the yelling and screaming of the Bernie delegates.

[beachbumbob]

17. By then the rioting in the streets of philly will be well under way...

[otohara]

18. Let Them Scream Obscenities

and shake their fists at the sky. They will be far away from the convention - the Philly police will be out in force like in Denver.

Then they will be screaming police brutality.

[BootinUp]

19. Based on history, it seems unlikely

The times are not nearly as volatile as 1968. The heated rhetoric from Bernie will be gone. The left that followed Bernie has smart people in it, they are not going to screw the pooch.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

24. +1

Agreed. The ant-war movement was a HUGE factor in 68.

[TwilightZone]

28. Yeah, that's my take.

Especially if Sanders drops out before then. If he drops out on June 8th, most of the rest of the hangers-on will lose interest before the convention.

[otohara]

37. They Got A Permit

shooting for 30,000 to attend.

We had plenty of protests at 2008 convention.
The DPD were sent enough military equipment to invade a small country.

[BootinUp]

39. primary emotions are at their peak right now. nt

[NanceGreggs]

31. So you know ...

... there will be "rioting in the streets of philly", do you?

What's the source of that information?

[TwilightZone]

33. They're trying to organize on reddit.

So far, they've come up with 25 people who are going to wear all black.

In Philly.

In July.

[NanceGreggs]

38. Yeah, I've read about that.

I have a feeling this is going to be one big, fat bust of an idea.

The smart Bernie supporters realize it isn't going to change a damned thing, so they won't waste their time.

I would imagine they'll draw people who live within driving or public transportation distance, because there won't be any hotel rooms available and they can just go home at night.

It reminds me of Occupy's "first annual gathering" in Philly a few years back on the 4th of July. They claimed that tens of thousands would show up from all over the country. They wound up with less than 300 people, who started complaining the minute they arrived about the lack of toilets, bathing facilities, and water amid the scorching summer heat.

The point is that whether three people show up or 30,000, there is nothing to be accomplished. HRC will be declared the nominee, no matter how many people on the street scream "We want Bernie!"

[TwilightZone]

40. If Sanders drops out before the convention, especially if it's right after the primaries,

it'll more than likely lose any steam it manages to generate between now and then.

"The point is that whether three people show up or 30,000, there is nothing to be accomplished."

Exactly.

[Haveadream]

22. I think she is smart to hold her fire

If I were Hillary, I would advise Elizabeth to do exactly what she is doing. I would look at her as a voice of reason for the Bernie supporters. Right now, they are in the death throes of their losing campaign and grieving. There are also a few contests left for his supporters to cast their votes even though it will not affect the outcome. The most effective use of E.W. is to be a calming force and act as a segue for BS's supporters in the aftermath of the primary. Although it might be "logical" for her to endorse Hillary now or even chastise the more rabid Berners, it is an emotionally charged situation. For that reason, it is more sensible for her to hold back and maintain what to them feels like their "trust" in the party through her continued neutrality.

[Fresh_Start]

26. When and if she feels like it nt

nt

[WhiteTara]

27. Well, jack the bus up again

if that happens. She will be in big trouble with the BoBs

[Koinos]

29. When the wheels come off the bus, there will be even less room underneath.

The wheels appear to be close to falling off.

[WhiteTara]

34. I saw a picture with GIANT wheels

so it may be awhile. Plenty of room for many more!

[Koinos]

35. The bigger the wheels, the harder they fall off.

[Gomez163]

32. I dont mind him staying in but he needs to lay off of Hillary

[Koinos]

36. He can't. Hillary hatred is an addiction for him.

[Cha]

41. Very unhealthy hateful addiction.
