4. She's the status quo candidate. Why wouldn't members of the status quo endorse her?

Only stands to reason. They've a vested interest.

7. Good thing this is LBN...

I got banned from the HillaryGroup for saying the exact same thing.

16. Really. Only that? :)

No shame in being banned for speaking your mind. At worst it's rude -- like coming to a party and insulting your hosts' opinions.

And, yes, as a good liberal and future Democratic supporter, whoever that may turn out to be, I think it's perfectly sensible to consider that they have much more freedom to endorse the Democratic Party's frontrunner than if W were still executive branch boss. And also that they really are also probably considering their futures. After all, they're all going to be out of a job before long,and most will be hoping to stay in D.C.

5. looking

They are just looking for a job in the future and we wonder why nothing changes.

6. Or else.

8. With all those endorsements I think she will make a wonderful cabinet secretary. nt

[Wibly]

9. Clinton is the status quo

Just goes to show, if you're happy with the way things are, with the bankers making billions while working people have to hold down two jobs, and the President is at war with the House, then Hilary is your candidate.
If you're not happy, and want change, Hilary will not be your candidate.

10. K & R

[Attorney in Texas]

11. This is going to be the most anti-establishment election in memory. Establishment endorsements are

not helping.

[GreydeeThos]

12. The Democratic cabinet members are endorsing the Democratic candidate

Sometimes being an independent has its drawbacks.

[JackRiddler]

13. Well I guess the game is over now!

This latest endorsement for Hillary, by the incumbent secretary of transport, is enormous, enormous news. Totally unexpected. It will swing the election decisively, I believe. This week everyone will be talking about this and nothing else, until their teeth bleed.

In other news, 1.4% of Americans will hear today for the first time that the name of the incumbent Transport Secretary is Anthony Foxx.

Rounding down, 0% of this group will get as far as his Wikipedia page and learn about his career prior to holding office, mainly as a "business litigator" with Hunton & Williams (your international outsourcing experts) which is the kind of simple but forceful title that your true power elite get to hang on their shingle. I mean, how cool does that sound? "Tony Foxx: Business Litigator: Washington DC." Coming soon to no TV near you.

14. Hillary people do not get it.

We Bernie people look at ideas, not establishment endorsers. Lining up more establishment endorsers only reminds us Hillary is part of the oligarchy who must be pushed out if we are to have democracy.
And Terry McAuliffe - really an inspiring guy you think?
You are obviously out of ideas and the revolution we need is marching on.

15. I get it that Hillary has a ton of endorsements. Congrats to Hillary and her team.
