mention, I say that the single, most important, overriding issue to HRC's corporate/Wall Street/Big Banks/Koch Brothers backers/supporters/donors/handlers is that of SCOTUS appointments. That is the issue where the quid pro quos will come home to roost. There is no way in hell she would appoint someone without the implicit, back stage approval of her wealthy, profiteering BFFs, and quite possibly an ex parte backroom sit down with an appointee to make sure his/her judicial philosophy is in sinc with corporate profiteering.

Ya know - someone can be liberal/progressive on gay marriage and abortion rights, as long as they know which side the Clintons' bread is buttered on when it comes to issues the One Percent gives a damn about.

The SCOTUS appointments are the the sine qua non of corporate control of the U.S. economy

Excuse me, but has any other newspaper called for Warren to run? Jefferson23 Apr 2015 #1

I don't know. I live in Boston. merrily Apr 2015 #2

I think this is a first, but could be wrong. The entire editorial board, very interesting Jefferson23 Apr 2015 #3

Thanks..I did not check the date of the OP. n/t Jefferson23 Apr 2015 #6

Don't worry about the date of the article. Warren has said many times she is not running. merrily Apr 2015 #11

No worries, I hear what you're saying. I should have checked the date though..as the Jefferson23 Apr 2015 #27

Thanks for snarky condescension. However, this is not LBN and she's been saying she will not run merrily Apr 2015 #7

You're more than welcome RiverLover. merrily Apr 2015 #10

Ummm backatcha! Don't be such a Debbie Downer! Divernan Apr 2015 #9

Cognitive dissonance. Her first post in the Warren forum is to lash out at me for posting merrily Apr 2015 #13

"but she has put the kibosh on it." So before their endorsement she said she would run? RiverLover Apr 2015 #12

Agreed. Should HRC's candidacy never materialize, or stumble/self-destruct Divernan Apr 2015 #17

She is in my opinion the Democrat most likely to win. JDPriestly Apr 2015 #28

The Boston Herald is no competitor. TheCowsCameHome Apr 2015 #14

The Globe's wiki calls the Herald the Globe's chief competitor. I agree. merrily Apr 2015 #15

The NYT no longer owns The Boston Globe Fla Dem Apr 2015 #18

Thanks. merrily Apr 2015 #20

No prob. Fla Dem Apr 2015 #26

The fact remains that nothing Warren says will make HRC more acceptable or palatable. To me. djean111 Apr 2015 #19

Do you have any thoughts about why they think it so important to kill any hope of a Warren candidacy merrily Apr 2015 #21

Part of it is, and all of this is IMO, sheer hubris. Which may have been the HRC is inevitable djean111 Apr 2015 #22

Good post - thanks. Re your SCOTUS Divernan Apr 2015 #23

Exactly. I believe Hillary would appoint a corporate Jamie Dimon-approved judge, djean111 Apr 2015 #25

I think you may well be right about O'Malley merrily Apr 2015 #24

Totally on board with your post. I will not give up on Warren. JDPriestly Apr 2015 #29
