Elizabeth Warren Won't Say If She'll Back Hillary Clinton

[Purveyor]

By Ben Brody

Senator Elizabeth Warren wouldn't say Tuesday whether her differences with Hillary Clinton over trade would cause her to withhold her endorsement from the Democratic presidential frontrunner.

Asked repeatedly by Bloomberg's Peter Cook if Clinton's still-vague position might cause her to withhold support, Warren repeatedly refused to answer.

"What I think you're asking me is does this matter to me? " she said. "The answer is it matters to millions of workers across this country."

"I'd like to see her be clearer."
Senator Elizabeth Warren

Warren's comments came hours after Clinton, in Iowa, broke a long silence on the trade deal to say that she has not yet made up her mind about supporting it. "I want to judge the final agreement," she said. That prompted Warren to note that even the former secretary of state has not been able to see details of the proposed trade agreement with Asian nations.

Noting that Clinton is already opposed to some proposed provisions that could undermine U.S. regulations, Warren pushed her to go further. "She’s always said that she is opposed to that, but I’d like to see her be clearer on that," Warren said.

10. In all my years following politics, Sitting presidents never endorse

this early, if ever, before it is all said and done (WRT to who all is in the primary)

He's not going to Endorse anyone until after all the candidates are in the race. It's still really early. I expect something a year or less out of the election.

3. Can't wait for some of the "I'll never vote for Hillary" folks to blast Warren for ...

... not joining them and taking a similar principled stand.

I'm sure they'll claim she just another politician waiting to see how things turn out before jumping into the middle of this.

4. It would be a joyous event should she finally decide to enter the race. If she is waiting for

anything, it is for Hillary to 'crash and burn' but the GOP doesn't want THAT. They soooo want Hillary to be the DEM nominee and for good reason...

[JoePhilly]

5. Sure they do.

She take pretty much every Obma voter, and lots and lots of Republican women.

GOP has to be thrilled with that possibility.

6. If that was the case why are the trying to kill her candidacy in the crib...

If that was the case why are the trying to kill her candidacy in the crib so they get a different challenger?


Wouldn't it make sense for them to lie low now so they get the candidate they want, the easily beatable one, in the general election?



What would Putin do?

7. This is funny given many Hillary Clinton supporters have claimed Warren supports her candidacy

Hillary Clinton is using the old triangulation technique waiting until Congress passes it so she can say she's against it.

8. Dare I hope for a 3rd party run?

[Raine1967]

9. Not going to happen.

You can hope.

She not going to run 3rd party. EVER.

12. Why waster her endorsement so early. It will happen later when more people are paying attention.

Sometimes I think DU is willfully ignorant or just full of trolls.

[Sheepshank]

13. Neither did she say that she would endorse Bernie Sanders, so your point is...?

...well let me finish...your point is to post just another anti HRC thread.

It's a cheap shot, imho

[Purveyor]

14. Get used to it. I just getting 'warmed up'...

Of course the 'ignore' feature is always an option for you if these articles are too distressful.

[Sheepshank]

15. not distressful...just stupid

that for your concern over my well being.
