The Hill: Democrats expect Warren to play peacemaker once primary ends

[DCBob]

Democratic senators expect Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) will soon make moves to mollify restive liberals and unify the Democratic Party behind Hillary Clinton.

Several Democratic senators say they have approached Warren about the role she can play, insisting she is best positioned to mend the schism between the Clinton and Bernie Sanders wings of the party.

Warren has a loyal following among the more liberal Democrats who favor Sanders. She has told colleagues she will play the role of peacemaker, but not until after the last major round of primaries on June 7.
“I think Elizabeth can and will be very helpful,” said Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), a Clinton backer who spoke to Warren on Wednesday.

“She is very interested, at least in my conversations with her, in doing everything she can to help get the party to unite for November,” she added.

==============

I am sure Warren will soon endorse Hillary and do whatever she can to unite the party to stop Trump and the Republicans.

The question is will the Bernie gang listen to her or throw her under the bus with all the other good loyal Democrats.

1. It's not possible for Warren to be peacemaker at this point

Warren would simply be seen as a sellout. Trump and Hillary are really very similar crony capitalists, almost identical in terms of the actual values they hold.

[DCBob]

2. Complete and utter nonsense.

[cali]

17. I'm not sure.

I think Hillary really needs Bernie for that. And I do think it's his responsibility to do it.

[JoePhilly]

3. Trump is already attacking Warren.

She'll fight back on Hillary's side.

And it will be effective.

Whether the perpetually disgruntled like it or not.

[polio2]

4. in case you haven't noticed

Warren has been bashed as of late, albeit lightly, if Warren throws her lot in with the establishment, that'll just make Warren look worse.

[JoePhilly]

6. The perpetually disgruntled have an ...

... endless supply of "under the bus passes".

But soon, the primary will end. And Warren will endorse Clinton.

And she will not worry about their impotent screams against her.

She's tough enough to handle it.

[The Second Stone]

23. The "establishment", meaning the majority and their traditions

of majority votes. The establishment have sold us out man! No, we just all have jobs to pay for your doobies and frat life-style. It's a bummer, trust me. The Man.

[scscholar]

13. Plus with her credibility problem...

she wouldn't be able to convince people.

[upaloopa]

5. DU does not represent the real world. All those making noises about not supportng Hillary in the

general are saying "we" and "us" when in reality it is the poster only talking. Often it is one of our resident trolls which is completely meaningless.

Enough people will vote in the General to elect Hillary the 45th President and first female President. Even Repubs are planning to vote for her rather than Trump.

[polio2]

7. the idea of republicans voting for hillary

only speaks to the delusions of hillary supporters. Republicans literally see Hillary as an anti-christ type figure, she is seen in worse light than even Obama. Bernie (and Biden) win far more republican protest votes accordingly.

[upaloopa]

9. You have not been paying attention. Trump running changes everything.

[polio2]

12. hardly

even utah has come around.

[MoonRiver]

34. What do you mean by "come around?"

8. It's too late by Carole King instantly popped in my head

They should have thought about that before they came for us after the Nevada debacle, I've never came for a Hillary supporter personally nor has Bernie or any of his surrogates

[Metric System]

14. Carole King, noted Hillary supporter.

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

15. Do I have to boycott anyone who supports Hillary?

I can respect people even when they support someone I do not respect

[CentralMass]

10. I don't think that the Senator from Massachusetts can be bought..

[Recursion]

18. She wouldn't need to be. She supports Clinton's wall street reform plan

Even calls it "great".

On foreign policy she's closer to Clinton than to Sanders (I have no idea why people assume things about her without bothering to look it up; she's not particularly dovish).

[boston bean]

19. The bern isn't dovish either. But that

Doesn't stop his supporters from claiming he is.

[Recursion]

21. ...

[think]

26. Clinton was the stupid one who voted for and promoted the illegal and immoral Iraq war...

[Skwmom]

25. Her calling that plan great showed that she had sold out-along with her corporate welfare bank vote.

[CentralMass]

31. She supports many things that she has been confronted on by the party hiearchy.

I will be interested to see what type of support she does give.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

11. I will listen to what she has to say and make my own decisions about my vote.

[davidlynch]

16. Would Love To Hear What Elizabeth Warren Says...

Will remain open-minded and open-hearted.

[winter is coming]

20. That's chock full o' stupid.

If Bernie can't persuade his supporters to switch allegiances, why expect them to listen to Warren?

[DCBob]

22. Well then Warren should work on Bernie first.

[winter is coming]

30. Or perhaps she should work on Hillary. n/t

[Algernon Moncrieff]

33. Actually, I think she'll work on both

..and probably some other Senators (Franken, who is a Clinton supporter, but who has appeal with Bernie supporters, leaps to mind). Any attempt to get Sanders supporters to give their support to Hillary would have to be predicated on Hillary committing to items on Sanders' agenda. The discussions would likely center on what she'd agree to.

[Skwmom]

24. Warren, who has stood on the sidelines enabling the govt for the 1% to continue?

Good luck with that.

[Mister Ed]

29. Do you really find Warren insufficiently progressive?

I'm afraid that doesn't leave us with much.

[Skwmom]

32. You do realize that the label doesn't matter in our current system that works for the 1% and not the

people?

[Mister Ed]

35. I'm thinking of her record rather than her label.

Has her work as a senator, and, before that, a consumer protection advocate, been unsatisfactory?

[Purveyor]

27. Good luck with that...

[restorefreedom]

28. this right here. the toast is already burnt, people. nt
