the really hostile harassment she got from hundreds of far lefters for simply NOT endorsing Bernie in time for Super Tuesday. She could endorse Bernie and be okay, we Hillary supporters are cool with Warren's right to make her own decision, but the other day would be just a little shadow of the nastiness that would explode at her if she endorsed Hillary.

As for having to do as the people of her state "state," it doesn't work that way. An endorsement is a personal recommendation. Anyone can make an endorsement, so if people want an endorsement of someone they should just go ahead and endorse.

When Bernie's soon to announce that she will be his Vice President?

(And if not, well ... Tulsi Gabbard will do just fine!)

before the primary.

now i think she will just wait and once a candidate gets enough delegates to be the nominee she will get behind them.

by keeping silent so long. Shows she cares more about herself than the future of the country.

She could have made the difference for Bernie in Mass - who she seemed to agree with on most issues. Instead she stayed silent - while Bullhorn Bill broke the law inside polling places thereby snatching the state.

Go on and explore. Look at the counties and how close it was. This ain't Georgia. But unlike Georgia, it just might be voting Blue in November. Possibly.

And perhaps she'll win against DWS which would make endorsing Hillary a no go. And that's a pretty big thing.

Besides, the Masschusetts result was harly an overwhelming support for Clinton. So take your attitude of entitlement down a notch, please. It hardly becomes you.
