She may yet endorse Hillary but she hasn't as yet.

Not to me. Agschmid Oct 2015 #7

Did I miss something? Krytan11c Oct 2015 #12

No she absolutely did not endorse her. Agschmid Oct 2015 #14

So why bring this up? Krytan11c Oct 2015 #23

Because it was brought up in another thread. Agschmid Oct 2015 #24

But she encouraged Hillary to run treestar Oct 2015 #91

EXACTLTY! eom BlueCaliDem Oct 2015 #101

She wouldn't. Agschmid Oct 2015 #104

She will endorse our choice after the primary. Hortensis Oct 2015 #40

I agree I doubt she will endorse before. Agschmid Oct 2015 #43

I agree, hers definitely will. Hortensis Oct 2015 #45

+1000 nt Mojorabbit Oct 2015 #77

I do believe this makes her part of the oligarchy treestar Oct 2015 #89

Hah! BlueCaliDem Oct 2015 #102

This article is 2 years old n/t Krytan11c Oct 2015 #2

Yes and? Agschmid Oct 2015 #8

And? 99Forever Oct 2015 #66

Really? Agschmid Oct 2015 #67

Really. Since apparently you can't figure it out for yourself. 99Forever Oct 2015 #68

I hate that it always gets personal on here. Agschmid Oct 2015 #73

Irrelevant, Warren stands behind her letter today uponit7771 Oct 2015 #9

And yet... Krytan11c Oct 2015 #13

red herring, no one is talking about endorsements, she urged Hillary to run cause at least uponit7771 Oct 2015 #15

Yes, we are noting that Warren urged Hillary to run. Simple truth. Hortensis Oct 2015 #42

Thanks for the reminder. And thanks to Sen. Warren riversedge Oct 2015 #70

Yes she does. Agschmid Oct 2015 #110

And Warren explained the (ir)relevance of that letter a year & a half ago... RiverLover Oct 2015 #39

People have no problem bringing up old articles for discussion here. MADem Oct 2015 #80

Yes it's was odd to see that this was a moot point because it's two years old. Agschmid Oct 2015 #105

This story is not new. It was posted back when Warren was being Agnosticsherbet Oct 2015 #3

Nope it's not new. Agschmid Oct 2015 #10

That was my way of asking how people can forget. Agnosticsherbet Oct 2015 #21

Are you talking about it? Scootaloo Oct 2015 #33

My point is her words and actions matter, all of them. Agschmid Oct 2015 #44

Wow, she must not be paying attention. marym625 Oct 2015 #4

So because it's old it doesn't matter? Agschmid Oct 2015 #11

Didn't say it didn't matter marym625 Oct 2015 #16

It's relevant to another thread in GDP. Agschmid Oct 2015 #17

haven't seen whatever you're talking about marym625 Oct 2015 #29

Words do matter. Agschmid Oct 2015 #30

.. mcar Oct 2015 #31

Of course not marym625 Oct 2015 #36

I clearly stated several time that she hasn't endorsed her... Agschmid Oct 2015 #41

Then maybe it should have been posted as a reply in the thread where it was relevant? thesquanderer Oct 2015 #71

I did post it in that thread. Agschmid Oct 2015 #72

Why yes, of course. TM99 Oct 2015 #25

Are Warrens words meaningless now? Agschmid Oct 2015 #26

that's a ridiculous thing to say in reply marym625 Oct 2015 #37

I am just making the point that we can't have it both ways here. Agschmid Oct 2015 #46

again, I don't know what you are talking about. marym625 Oct 2015 #52

IMO I've successfully made my point. Agschmid Oct 2015 #53

not to me marym625 Oct 2015 #54

She signed the letter that reflects her words. Agschmid Oct 2015 #57

except the letter is not there marym625 Oct 2015 #59

What do you mean "it's not there"? Agschmid Oct 2015 #60

I mean there is no link to the letter marym625 Oct 2015 #61

Yes let's move on. Agschmid Oct 2015 #62

The letter has never been released. Warren has said she signed it, though-- MADem Oct 2015 #85

absolutely no one, including me, marym625 Oct 2015 #93

Correction... Agschmid Oct 2015 #94

I have no doubt marym625 Oct 2015 #95

I think you have--the fact that you're getting so much pushback and MADem Oct 2015 #82

Yup. Agschmid Oct 2015 #83

It's truly unfortunate MADem Oct 2015 #87

Luckily I'm a big boy and I can handle it. Agschmid Oct 2015 #90

please explain marym625 Oct 2015 #96

Just because a DUer can see good in both candidates, and hasn't made up his mind, it's pretty MADem Oct 2015 #97

you didn't answer my questions. marym625 Oct 2015 #99

Unnnnh.....you did not ASK any questions. You pretty much told it like you thought it was, MADem Oct 2015 #100

you're a riot. marym625 Oct 2015 #107

Anyone can read what you said, in its full context and glory. MADem Oct 2015 #108

You are trying to callout something that wasn't so. Agschmid Oct 2015 #106

"And I hope she does." "Hillary is terrific." JTFrog Oct 2015 #49

Sorry I don't worship Warren. TM99 Oct 2015 #69

.............. MADem Oct 2015 #98

+1, Somehow to Sanders supporters Warrens words mean less than the NRA's when the uponit7771 Oct 2015 #6

And candidate that has above an "F" by the NRA is not a candidate I will support. BlueCaliDem Oct 2015 #103

I don't understand why this is being brought up again. MuseRider Oct 2015 #18

No endorsement. Agschmid Oct 2015 #19

Thanks, I had not read MuseRider Oct 2015 #22

On one of the Sunday political shows this am Warren came up as a possible VP for BIDEN appalachiablue Oct 2015 #20

That was an interesting segment, I was watching both ABC and NBC. Agschmid Oct 2015 #50

She also did this whatchamacallit Oct 2015 #27

Yup, she did. Agschmid Oct 2015 #28

Your OP has taught me to start using Sanders and Warren instead of just Sanders when I DhhD Oct 2015 #32

Letter sent Feb 2013. With what has come out since then would Warren still sign the letter? n/t Skwmom Oct 2015 #34

You could ask. Agschmid Oct 2015 #47

Encouraging somebody to run for president isn't the same as endorsing that person book_worm Oct 2015 #35

Yes it's not the same thing, and I'm certainly not saying or implying that it is. Agschmid Oct 2015 #48

K & R It was posted Warren did not sign a letter, proof here is she did. It must have been Thinkingabout Oct 2015 #38

I agree with Warren 1000 percent. oasis Oct 2015 #51

And Hillary is running, showing how influential Sen Warren can be. frylock Oct 2015 #55

Old news. Means zilch. Thanks for nothing Android3.14 Oct 2015 #56

Old news clearly matters... Agschmid Oct 2015 #58

This isn't that sometimes jfern Oct 2015 #81

Warren signed the letter. Agschmid Oct 2015 #84

Two things here jfern Oct 2015 #86

So Warren caved to political pressure? Agschmid Oct 2015 #88

It's just signing a letter jfern Oct 2015 #92

"Hillary is terrific"~ Elizabeth Warren lunamagica Oct 2015 #65

BEFORE Bernie announced. So that isn't exactly an endorsement. Autumn Oct 2015 #74

I didn't say it was. Agschmid Oct 2015 #78

Good OP, thanks for the reminder (and none of the signatories have recanted, by the way). George II Oct 2015 #75

Talk about beating a dead horse. She hasn't endorsed. jfern Oct 2015 #76

I'd didn't say that she did. Agschmid Oct 2015 #79
