Nancy Pelosi 'Proud to Endorse' Hillary Clinton for President

[wyldwolf]

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi endorsed Hillary Clinton for president this morning on "Good Morning America" before her home state's primary today.

"I'm a voter in California and I have voted for Hillary Clinton for president of the United States and proud to endorse her for that position," the Democratic superdelegate said, though adding "it's not over until it's over."

Pelosi, who did not formally endorse in the 2008 Democratic primary, has praised Sen. Bernie Sanders' primary campaign and the excitement the Vermont senator has generated among younger voters.

In an interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos today, Pelosi said she believes Sanders will be a constructive force before the Democratic convention in Philadelphia.

"Bernie knows better than anyone what's on the line in the election and that we at some point have to unify as we go forward," she said. "He wants to influence the platform. I think that’s fine."

Pelosi also responded to a question about the prospect of Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren's joining the Clinton ticket.

"We've had two men over and over again for hundreds of years," she told Stephanopoulos. "I think that two women, whoever they may be, that would be fabulous as well, but Hillary Clinton will choose the person that she feels most comfortable with."

And while it's "exciting" to see the first female nominee for a major party, Pelosi said, Clinton's historic achievement is "because she is the best, not because she's a woman."

5. Bernie's establishment also. Everything you hate about

U.S. Congress and government for the last 25 years Sanders was a big part of. U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, who voted with the Democratic caucus OVER 96% of the time and will return to Congress and do the same for the next 4 years, for the same extremely lavish pay.

Isn't it about time to take off the shades and look around? Stop fooling yourself. The fact that he's trying to make very worthy change now, and actually believes he is right to try to win at any cost, doesn't mean he isn't grossly dishonest and hypocritical.

The fact is, most of the rest of the Democratic caucus was working, many of them much longer and harder, for the same kind of changes he says he wants, but he has based his entire campaign on lies that he is the only one who can or will save America. Everyone else "corrupt" because they disagree on ways to proceed, not where to go.

If his Democratic colleagues all sued him for libel and slander, most would have open-and-shut cases against him.
