In her position, she's not about to either endorse or announce that she won't endorse anybody.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

the Sandernistas would have whined (again) about how unfairly poor, picked-upon Bernie is being treated by the "establishment."

She wants to win in November as much as we do. I think she would have said the same thing about any of the Democrats we have left in the race, if asked.

What this says is that she recognizes that Bernie has a very good chance of actually winning our nomination.

She does not do that by picking sides. Odds are, she will wait until the choice is certain before endorsing that choice.

9. Appears the Speaker has

been active in down ballot races. She built the 2018 wave,and knowing her Political skill set,she is not about to see it damaged in way.

The Orange Anus knows his ass is grass and Nancy just got a new riding lawn mover with very sharp blades. Moscow Mitch is playing Collin's today saying he is concerned about Sanders polling strength.

She's getting "used to" the idea of Bernie at the top of the ticket.

That is wise.

and the Republican party rallied around him. Then, Trump gave them what they craved, their tax cuts and judges.

The Democrats can do the same with our nominee.
