Elizabeth Warren ... peacekeeper between Hillary and Bernie

U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren blasted Donald Trump for his “hate-filled attacks” on her Native American heritage, disparaged his business record and labeled him “a threat” to America, previewing what one expert predicts will be her upcoming role as a peacekeeper between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.

“I believe it’s very much in keeping her role as party unifier,” said Erin O’Brien, a political science professor at the University of Massachusetts Boston.
“The real vitriol between Hillary Clinton supporters and Bernie Sanders supporters takes a back seat when someone both sides respect — Elizabeth Warren — says, ‘Remember, the end game here is getting this guy (Trump) not elected.’”

Warren will be able to essentially name her speaking spot at the Democratic National Convention in July, when Sanders and his voters will be enlisted by the Clinton camp in a crusade against Trump if he prevails in his GOP bid.

“I would place a lot of money on Elizabeth Warren making the party unifying speech,” O’Brien said. “She’s going to be the come-to-Jesus moment.”

and the TPP, among other things I hate.

What's that whooooosh! I hear? Perhaps the sound of Hail Mary passes, missing their mark.

No real need for a peacekeeper at all...All three are united in vision.
