Elizabeth Warren To Endorse Hillary Clinton After The Democratic Primary Ends

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s advisers are in communication with the Hillary Clinton campaign, and it is likely that Warren will endorse Clinton at some point after the Democratic primaries end.

The Washington Post reported:
Perhaps the biggest sign that a new effort is underway among liberals to begin healing fissures within the party comes from Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), the heroine of the left. Although Warren still has not endorsed Clinton — and remains the lone Democratic woman in the Senate not to do so — she has stepped up her attacks on Trump, and her advisers have begun communicating regularly with the Clinton campaign.

“We are in regular contact with her team and are very excited about the prominent role she has taken in defining what’s at stake in the election,” said Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon. Both sides continued to insist that there is no formal coordination — and most likely, no endorsement by Warren until after the last round of primaries.

1. Reasonable assumption.

[MohRokTah]

2. I've been dreading the day when Elizabeth Warren gets thrown under the bus.

Considering that those who will do the throwing are also those who originally wanted her to run, it is particularly painful.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. Establishment

[firebrand80]

5. The Bus as quite a large left wing at thing point nt

[Armstead]

63. SOME PEOPLE have thrown everyone remotely to the left of Clinton under the bus

Please don't spout that crap.

The Democratic Party has been throwing "the left" -- i.e. anyone not a centrist conservative -- under the bus for years.

[riversedge]

9. Yes, it was painful to see Barbara Boxer thrashed a few weeks ago.

[JCanete]

19. She was thrashed justifiably. I like Boxer, but she has been shilling for Hillary from very

early on, and some of her claims have been alienating and divisive. And I'll say it again, I do not put stock in Boxer's endorsements. It's not integrity at work when you go to bat for Lieberman over Lamont. Maybe its' friendship, maybe it's having your fellow longtime colleague's back, but her judgement on such issues is not magnetic north.

[riversedge]

25. Sanders fans should be ashamed for how horrible they treated Boxer....#ByeByeBirdie

Jerry Brown endorses Hillary

[redstateblues]

27. Not to mention how they treated progressive Sherrod Brown

[Sheepshank]

67. I'm having a very hard time forgiving and forgetting the crap hurled at Rep. John Lewis

it was despicable here on DU, on his FB etc etc.

[dchill]

78. "I never met him."

...

[JCanete]

34. thanks for the substantive reply. nt

[HooptieWagon]

35. Yes, throwing those imaginary chairs was uncalled for.

They had no reason to get angry just because Boxer insulted them and flipped them a bird.

[riversedge]

39. Enough is enough. bye.

[John Poet]

97. Can't handle the truth, eh?

Typical Hillary supporter: just cover up your eyes and ears and sing tra-la-la

[Yurovsky]

57. Exactly...

That whole affair was a textbook case in media spin, courtesy Team Hillary. I've spoken with someone who was there, and the only thing threatened of Sen. Boxer was her reputation for standing up for progressives.

She's now officially in the tank for the 3rd Way folks. Sad ending to a solid senate career.

[Dem2]

88. Vulgar trolls

that you approve of.

[auntpurl]

90. And then Jerry Brown. Jerry Brown!!

[workinclasszero]

24. Its coming for her like a runaway freight train

Already happening: Elizabeth Warren is Trying to Unite the Democratic Party, But All She's Doing is Betraying Progressives
At the time progressives needed her most, she wasn’t there.

The above is from original post on the Hillary Clinton group: Like clockwork,Sanders supporters turn on Elizabeth Warren(HCG)
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1107151770

[MohRokTah]

37. There is absolutely NOTHING "Progressive" about their "revolution".

It's more like authoritative fascism than progressivism.

[workinclasszero]

38. Check out how the "progressive" that wrote that screed PRAISES Trump!

Trump, for all his faults, and in spite of the fact that he is all over the place — releasing a policy platform in line with the current Republican party, but adopting populist rhetoric, hinting at a swing to left for the general election — is not a member of the status quo establishment.

And Senator Warren gets the back of his hand!

[Armstead]

64. Some of you folks crack me up

Comedy gold.

[azurnoir]

40. lol did you use the DU post so we wouldn't know all the info comes from the same link?

just wondering?

[workinclasszero]

47. No I read the piece from the HCG original link/post first so I wanted to give that person credit

for finding it, that's all.

No big conspiracy or anything lol

[azurnoir]

48. so you just wanted to give credit to a post 800+ DUers couldn't reply to

but not to despair in 15 days all of DU will be yours

[workinclasszero]

54. Jeez I wish I had thought of that, you guys are on the ball LOL

No I was just giving credit where it was due.

No good deed goes unpunished, right?

Believe me if I had have found that screed first I would have splashed it all over GDP because...fun.

[Maru Kitteh]

60. You have to spend a few months crying CONSPIRACY! RIGGED! CHEATING! to yourself

and others endlessly in a bouncy castle built on rainbows before that level of paranoia and worry about "trickeration" starts to make sense.

That's the picture I have in my head anyways.

[workinclasszero]

65. LOL yeah I think this primary is getting to everybody

It will be over in a couple of weeks for sure. I can't wait.

I want to get on to attacking republicans especially that autocrat Trump!

[riversedge]

41. So, sad. but she is strong and I am sure she is expecting it.

[workinclasszero]

56. Yup. Its her turn to stand in the fire

I'm sure she will emerge stronger than ever.

[Maru Kitteh]

55. When a group of supporters make a of a politician, a messiah - then heretics must abound

When a group of supporters make of a politician, a messiah - then anyone who doesn't believe in their divinity is automatically a heretic.

Betrayers!
Corrupt!
Sell-Out!

They couldn't simply have different opinions. Challenging a messiah requires more sinister motives.

Crazy stuff.

[workinclasszero]

58. You are right

Nobody is perfect for sure.

[Armstead]

68. Listen to yourself

It's Hillary's turn to endure the Holy Fire and lead us to the Promised Land, but she is strong and will lead us valiantly.


Naw no adoration and supernatural worship there.

[frylock]

87. Messiah is sooooo 2008.

You guys really need some new material.

[LuvLoogie]

77. They already have thrown her when she didn't endorse Bernie

before Massachusetts, or since. She's part of the inner circle since the Consumer Protection Agency was developed and established.

[Andy823]

79. It already happened

Here is a link to just one:

[Binkie The Clown]

4. As a rabid Bernie supporter myself...

...If Hillary gets the nomination then I will have no choice but to support her. Not joyously. Not with enthusiasm. But, with much regret and sadness over the fate of the Democratic party, she will get my vote.

[anotherproletariat]

18. Thank you, and I would do the same if Sanders were the nominee.

It's important for all of us to look at the big picture.

[redstateblues]

29. Understood-I have no problem with someone voting against Trump

instead of for Hillary.

[riversedge]

33. The Democratic Party will be fine. Thank you.

[Binkie The Clown]

66. Your condescending reply almost makes me regret my decision.

And with all due respect, you are probably wrong. If the Democratic party keeps moving right, as it has been, it will no longer be the people's party, and if that happens, I will no longer call the party home.

[StevieM]

99. If we want to get progressive legislation through then we need to take back the Congress.

If Bernie is the nominee then I will support him. Whoever we nominate should be supported by all of us IMO.

I think that if we can take back the Congress then we can get some good legislation through, like a minimum wage increase and day care tax credits. Even if we just take back the Senate we can get some terrific justices confirmed who will uphold Roe vs. Wade and overturn Citizens United.

[geek tragedy]

51. we've all had to cast uninspired votes, or votes against the Republican instead of

for the Democrat.

Gore and Kerry come to mind.

[auntpurl]

91. I've done the same many times.

Thank you for your vote.

[Number23]

100. I'd feel the same way about Sanders. I'd support him, with absolutely no joy or enthusiasm.

Nothing but sadness. He wouldn't get a dime from me but he'd get my vote.

[riversedge]

6. such good news. Thank you.

[Hortensis]

14. Yes. Hopefully many SBSers will be

pleased. No doubt this stepped-up communication includes working together for agreement on goals they both can offer all Democrats, including Bernie's.

[highprincipleswork]

7. An endorsement like that isn't going to matter much to me, if it happens after the fact.

Not as much as other attributes of the Hillary campaign and the party platform.

[BootinUp]

8. Another one under the bus! Yeah. Another one under the bus! Oh-oh-woa-oh-o-o

[morningfog]

10. The article doesn't support the headline.

All the article says is that Hillary Camp is in contact with Warren's advisers.

It is to state the obvious that Warren will endorse the Democratic candidate when the primaries are over.

[AtomicKitten]

28. No it does not.

thank you

[azurnoir]

42. actually I thought thiss part of the OP article was the richest

Sen. Warren’s decision not to endorse Bernie Sanders in the primary was de facto assist to Hillary Clinton, so it is not a surprise that the Senator from Massachusetts would eventually endorse Clinton after she becomes the Democratic nominee. One can expect Warren to deliver a speech at the convention that will take Donald Trump apart while making the case for Democrats keeping the White House.

[grasswire]

98. correct. nt

[beachbum bob]

11. I see ALL remaining uncommitted super delegates coming out for hillary June 8th

end the nonsense of the sanders campaign

[MineralMan]

12. There's likely to be a flurry of major endorsements

on June 8 and June 15. They may well include Obama and Biden. Watch for them.

[NCTraveler]

13. Warren has played this well. We need her to have all the clout she can.

Early in this process I stated I didn't want her endorsing Clinton until after the votes were cast. I was certain it would hurt her with all of the hate we are seeing. She is a very smart and savvy Senator.

[Hortensis]

16. Agree.

[aikoaiko]

22. And she can still avoid Clinton retaliation for not going against Bernie.

[NCTraveler]

23. Exactly. She won't make it to the Foster list. nt.

[aikoaiko]

26. Oh, my. Is that what you call the list?

[NCTraveler]

30. Have to keep them in line. The list is a very important part of that.

Without it people like Warren might endorse someone else. We don't give them that freedom.

[Armstead]

71. Not the Foster List -- But the Excommunicated from the Clinton Favorites List

You've been reasonably nice lately, so I'll refrain from expressing my thoughts on how the Clintons have systematically.....er never mind.

[Surya Gayatri]

15. Thanks for posting. Excellent news...

[imagine2015]

17. "at some point after the Democratic primaries end." If there hasn't been an indictment.

At some point. Maybe. Perhaps. Perhaps not. No way!

Warren is being very careful and who can blame her?

[LanternWaste]

21. As I note the careful use of six qualifiers in your allegation, and who can blame you?

"Warren is being very careful..."

As I note the careful use of six qualifiers in your allegation, and who can blame you?

[aikoaiko]

20. I'm ok with EW endorsing HRC over Trump. I'm glad she stood alone.

True I wish she endorsed Bernie over HRC a long time ago but even EW should be afraid of Clinton retaliation.

[book_worm]

31. Yeah, right, that is the reason why she stayed neutral

"Clinton retaliation."

[aikoaiko]

32. It's a good reason.

[stevenleser]

81. No it's not. Bill Richardson is an example. nt

[aikoaiko]

86. I'm not sure what you mean. The Clintons hated Richardson for his betrayal.

And I have to admit that his recent endorsement was odd.

In 2014 Richardson was not ready to make nice ("not in the suck up club&quot , but a year later they "patched things up".

I'm sure Richardson learned something new about Hilllary he didn't know before.

[stevenleser]

92. I've actually spoken to and interviewed Bill Richardson. Have you? nt

[aikoaiko]

93. No I haven't. I was paraphrasing news reports from others who talked to Richardson.

For example,

Bill Richardson isn’t ‘Ready for Hillary.’
By Philip Rucker June 23, 2014

When I called Richardson last week soliciting his thoughts on Clinton's book tour, the first thing Richardson said was, "You know I'm not in the 'Ready for Hillary' camp, right?"

Why not?

"It's because of our differences when I endorsed Obama," Richardson said. "The differences haven't healed, and I'm not in the suck-up camp."

And about a year later...

Former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson Endorses Hillary Clinton for President
By Benjamin Bell Aug 23, 2015

"I have spoken to President and Secretary Clinton and we have patched up our disagreement from the 2008 election,” the statement read. "I am pleased to announce I wholeheartedly support Secretary Clinton's candidacy for the Presidency. Her leadership on issues like foreign policy, immigration, climate change and economic populism are important to the future of the country."

In the ABC video, Richardson refers to the post 2008 era are "seven years of hostility."

One of my favorite parts of the ABC news video was when Richardson explains why he thinks HRC is worthy of his endorsement and someone says "I'm glad you think so, Bill, because the Clintons have a long memory and I thought if Hillary ever became President you were going to have to self-deport."





I still don't understand what you are trying to say about Richardson. Do you have a different news report to make?

[aikoaiko]

95. I really am anxious to hear your tale that is somehow contrary to other reports.

Let me know.

[aikoaiko]

101. Hello? tap. tap. tap. Is this thing on? Still waiting for you to tell me about Bill Richardson.

it seemed like you had something really important to say.

[geek tragedy]

50. why would anyone NOT be ok with Warren endorsing Clinton over Trump? nt

[aikoaiko]

52. Id be OK if she didn't endorse HRC either. I wouldnt be ok with her endorsing Trump.

Endorsements are not required.

[cherokeeprogressive]

36. Your new nickname, for breaking this important news, shall be "Scoop".

[JesterCS]

43. Hmmmm click-bait headline. No official endorsement n/t

[morningfog]

44. No comment from Warren whatsoever.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

45. I quoted the title verbatim.

[Autumn]

46. Elizabeth Warren To Endorse The Nominee After The Democratic Primary Ends

Fixed it for you. She will endorse the nominee.

[geek tragedy]

49. That's been the obvious play for some time, she's not a Bernie-or-Buster nt

[Armstead]

72. She's not a Clinton Acolyte either

[geek tragedy]

73. No, she's not, which is why her endorsement will carry more weight than

someone like Terry McAuliffe.

[Armstead]

75. Heck Daffy Duck and Minnie Mouse will endorse Clinton over Trump

Yes, those two are smarter than the GOP sheep who would follow Trump over the cliff. But that's faint praise.

[geek tragedy]

76. no one who's been paying attention is claiming this is a surprise nt

[Armstead]

80. see my post lower down

[senz]

53. Warren always said she would support the nominee. If corruption wins, she'll have to go along.

It won't clean your candidate up, though.

[Beacool]

59. Yeah, it sucks when voters vote in larger numbers for the opponent.

Voters have already made Hillary the prospective nominee.

[senz]

61. The better the voters know her, the less they like her.

The better the voters know Bernie, the better they like him.

Hill had the corrupt MSM and the corrupt DNC safely in her pocket -- as well as 33 bought-off states.

Bernie had no name, no MSM publicity, no money, nothing but the truth.

In one year, he went from 60 points behind to a dead heat. The early Southern states didn't know who Bernie was and were under illusions about the Clintons, and that's where she got most of her ill-gotten lead (which you trumpet and brag about). The rest was from states with questionable primaries, election "irregularities." Something to be so proud of, hm?

And that's what YOU are supporting, Beacool. THAT.

And now it's beginning to look like your candidate might just get what she deserves ... so try to keep it under wraps ...

[brooklynite]

70. That's why Sanders' vote share has consistently gone up since voting started?

[Beacool]

85. Yeah, keep believing that if it helps you.

Reality is something that some of you seem not want to acknowledge.

The fact is that more registered Democrats voted for Hillary than voted for Sanders.

[Armstead]

74. It also sucks when between 40 to 45 percent in the primary...

thumb their collective noses at the pre-anointed nominee.

[Armstead]

62. Well duhhhhhhh. I didn't think she'd be endorsing Trump.

[geek tragedy]

82. the Walker Bragman crowd isn't taking it so well.

https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=walker+bragman+site:democraticunderground.com

https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2016/05/elizabeth-warren-is-trying-to-unite-the-democratic.html

the Elizabeth Warren endorsement of Clinton will be a good diagnostic for discerning the various pro-Bernie factions.

[GRhodes]

83. The title of this thread is misleading

The article simply says they are in contact...well duh. It also wouldn't be a surprise that she endorsed the party's nominee after the freaking convention. She has given outward support to what Sanders was doing and the issues he was addressing this election cycle and when asked months ago whether she would endorse Clinton, she essentially said that she wanted to see what Clinton would offer. I would have liked for her to endorse Sanders, it would have helped him, but this is simply her endorsing her party's nominee after the convention. Okay, great. You think there aren't lots of Republicans that despise Trump that won't do the same for their party's nominee? Think they won't, despite their reservations, try to help him versus Clinton?

[Dem2]

89. Welcome to DU!

[tandem5]

84. Bus hungry, feed me!!

[passiveporcupine]

94. If Hillary maintains a large lead in pledged delegates after the primaries

I would not be surprised if Warren endorses her.

But if somehow Hillary loses her large lead and the race is tight at the end, she may decide not to.

I guess we need to wait and see. It's kind of silly to say she will endorse Hillary based on just this op-ed.

[grasswire]

96. BOGUS

I don't believe it.

HRC also said today that Bernie people are coordinating with her campaign about how to heal the party and bring people together and that "Bernie needs to provide some leadership" in that area.

This is bogus stuff.

Simply lying to try to smooth the waves of fear in her supporters.
