Warren to formally endorse Hillary

[RandySF]

Will not rule out spot on the national ticket, per Rueters.

1. K&R

Two women at the top of the ticket is beyond my wildest dreams. Especially these two women.

[sufrommich]

25. I agree. It would be awesome. nt

[peace13]

2. Oh god save us.......

I can't imagine why Warren would agree to this!

[sheshe2]

4. What is "this"?

[peace13]

11. When a person who skirts the law or runs slightly outside of it as a matter of course....

.....picks a running mate who appears to have a high moral compass it does not usually work out well for the running mate. If the run is unsuccessful Warren runs the risk of being associated with Hill and some pretty ugly fallout. I like EW. She is a ball of fire. She seems to be a stickler for rules and fairness. She's smart and outspoken. Oil and water is all I can say.

[justiceischeap]

12. Or, you know, having actually worked with Hillary

she may know a lot more about her character than those of us who haven't.

If such an upstanding person doesn't rule out a spot on the national ticket, that says a lot about the person she'd be sharing the ticket with.

[peace13]

15. That's another way to look at it.

[Hortensis]

22. So true. Respect Warren, respect her judgement.

A ticket with those two would really be something. Why does it strike me as so much more dynamic than, say, progressive Sherrod Brown? Probably it's Warren. In any case, we'll be seeing the two of them out there together now and then.

[sheshe2]

17. She is my Senator.

She is brilliant and she knows Hillary a lot better than you do. You malign them both.

[TwilightZone]

19. No one picked a running mate. Warren is just endorsing Clinton at the moment.

As for "skirting the law", the GOP has been trying to prove that for 25 years and has failed. Have you had better success?

[peace13]

20. Duhhhh....read the entire post. Both sentences. And I forgive you.

[TwilightZone]

23. "When a person who skirts the law or runs slightly outside of it as a matter of course"

I can read, thanks. That's your assertion, let's see the proof.

The GOP has been trying to prove it for 25 years and has nothing.

[rjsquirrel]

30. Exactly

The misogynistic slandering of Hillary using republican talking points and sources continues.

The far left and the far right in this country are make alike than different. And both are all about white privilege and misogyny.

[leftinportland]

35. Misogynistic...really is that how it continues to be...

Any criticism of Hillary is considered misogynistic. That's bull shit. Oh let us not forget the white privilege pov. I suppose we'll need to give her free reign around here should she become the new POTUS for fear of this type of labeling standard.

[rjsquirrel]

40. You can't see it because

you enjoy white privilege and are misogynistic


Others see it clearly.

[workinclasszero]

41. You nailed it

But the attacks and slander of democrats will end in 7 days.

[peace13]

34. No you admonished me about the OP not being about a running mate.

I said read both sentences of the OP. Two...if she didn't run close to or just outside the law she wouldn't need an FBI investigation or any other, would she?. As far as the FBI goes...we will pay a price and while I don't know when, it's a pretty safe bet.

[peace13]

43. Pretty weird that you can't read what you wrote.

You are gone to me.

[grasswire]

26. agreed

Can't believe this is true, unless she's planning to take over when HRC has to step aside.

[TwilightZone]

28. Then you don't know Warren as well as you thought.

This is a surprise to no one who has been paying attention for the past couple years.

[nolabear]

5. Because she's smart?

[TwilightZone]

7. Considering that she encouraged Hillary to run

this should be no surprise.

[geek tragedy]

8. Because she is rational nt

[obamanut2012]

13. Maybe because she was one of the first to ask Hillary to run for President

In 2014. This isn't a secret.

[Starry Messenger]

27. +1

[rjsquirrel]

29. Because Clinton won maybe?

Fair and square by millions of actual votes from the democratic base.

That's why. You need to ask yourself what problem you have with voters choosing the nominee.

But under the Bernie bus she goes right?

3. Clinton/Warren 2016

I can dream

K/R

[jcgoldie]

36. would be awesome nt

[One Black Sheep]

6. Wow, a two women ticket

would be something else. They may as well try it, I guess.

[DCBob]

9. Excellent!

Its starting to come together.

[okasha]

10. About time.

It's safe now.

[MyNameGoesHere]

14. The endorsement will come fast and furious now

don't be a #bernout join the wave.

[peace13]

16. On a friendly aside..

...you could have left out the #________

[Miles Archer]

18. That removes a huge amound of slack from the Sanders non-endorsement "enthusiasm gap."

I know everyone has an opinion about what Sanders should or should not have done in the last 24 hours, and I'm not going to open that can of worms.

BUT...a Warren endorsement in lieu of one from Sanders is a major win. I'm not entirely convinced that her bring on the ticket would be a good idea as I'd like to see her do her own thing and follow her own trajectory.

It really is now at the point where the effort has to be stopping Trump. Warren's endorsement is going to shift the thinking of a lot of people who may have been sitting on the fence up until now.

[sufrommich]

21. "Will not rule out spot on the national ticket"

Wow,I was not expecting that. This is an interesting turn.

[Hortensis]

24. Maybe not quite a turn but...very interesting nevertheless.

I wasn't expected it either. Imagine...!

[writes3000]

31. Where did you hear this?

[RandySF]

32. Rueters newsflash on my phone

[writes3000]

33. Thanks.

[tandem5]

37. Clinton/Warren I hope so!

[loyalsister]

38. Of course

Warren is a loyal Democrat and wants to prevent the disaster that would be a Trump presidency. I would hope she would not join the ticket. I would hate to see her turn into an unconditionally loyal employee muzzled by her boss rather than an independent senator who can help forward a progressive agenda from the senate.

42. Waiting...
