Elizabeth Warren personally asked Hillary to run for President

She was actually one of the first to do so.

There is a reason why she didn't endorse Bernie. And, I know she hasn't publicly endorsed Hillary yet, but she is being a very enthusiastic and very effective public surrogate for Hillary right now.

So, Warren has been in Hillary's corner the entire time, and those of us who know she asked Hillz to run have been aware of that.

Which is why the whole Sanders-Warren thing puzzles me,

Won't be contained much longer!

We're all going to let it ROAR!!!!

USA won't know what happened!

The Media and the GOP will have to realize they failed in trying to deter HRC and HER "unenthusiastic" supporters who happen to VOTE!!!!

Warren didn't publically endorse Clinton during the primary. All the Trump bashing she has done so far was advantageous for either of them into the GE.

Warren is a class act and will endorse Hillary just as she would have Bernie, if he won.

I do wish that the AP did not call it until she hit 2026. Unfortunately I have just as much influence over them as Hillary does-none.

I love the accusations that Clinton forced the media to announce last night. Do they even hear themselves? All the lies, shit and derogatory things they have written about the Clintons over the years, you would think they would have used their "control over the media" to stop that.

She wouldn't use her power over the media to shut down all those stories over the years. No, she decides to cash in her chips to announce her nomination 24 hours early. LOL.

Elizabeth Warren: I hope Hillary Clinton runs for president

By Wesley Lowery April 27, 2014
Sen. Elizabeth Warren says she hopes Hillary Rodham Clinton runs for president in 2016 — the latest in a series of declarations of support by the Massachusetts Democrat, who some have speculated could seek the Oval Office herself.

"All all of the women — Democratic women I should say — of the Senate urged Hillary Clinton to run, and I hope she does. Hillary is terrific," Warren said during an interview broadcast Sunday on ABC's "This Week," noting that she was one of several senators to sign a letter urging Clinton to run in 2016.
