I love Elizabeth Warren, but

[notinkansas]

I do not understand her refusal to endorse Sanders. I think it does not reflect well on her.

[DrToast]

1. Maybe she doesn't think he deserves it

Just saying.

[we can do it]

2. I do. Warren supporter here now for Biden.

BS and his staff are a disaster.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Maybe she wants to be associated with the winning candidate.

And maybe she hasn't forgotten the horrible treatment of her by Bernie's surrogates and fans.

[Merlot]

4. I'm glad she hasn't.

[mcar]

5. How so?

[Turin_C3PO]

6. It's the fault of the toxic

Sanders supporters on social media. They viciously savaged Elizabeth Warren’s character, calling her a snake, etc. What goes around, comes around, ya know?

[saidsimplesimon]

7. welcome to DU

I will ignore your "concern".

[True Blue American]

8. Elizabeth

Has a right to endorse or not. After Bernie called her a liar in a debate, then brushed her off when she confronted him she can do as she darn well pleases!

[LaurenOlimina]

9. His supporters have really attacked her.

Also, I think she's an insider at heart, not a revolutionary.

[comradebillyboy]

10. Do you think Warren is obliged to endorse Bernie? She owes

him nothing. He is not responsible for any of her many accomplishments and successes. She is not his vassal. She does not owe him fealty. She is not his creature to do his bidding.

[Jamastiene]

16. Good answer.

She doesn't have to endorse anyone.

[comradebillyboy]

20. Thanks

[barbtries]

11. i love her

and hoping she'll endorse Biden. She really cares about the country and understands that beating Trump is more important than anything else. I think her decision not to endorse Sanders, at least not yet, means she's thinking about all of the implications. It reflects well on her in my opinion.

[hangaleft]

33. I think Warren has major problems with both candidates

And I get where she’s coming from. She’s doing the right thing.

PREFERRED CANDIDATE — ELIZABETH WARREN

[Mike 03]

12. She might be reflecting on the treatment she received from Bernie's "supporters" and some

of the toxic hashtags they used on her--some I wouldn't even write here on DU--and maybe how Bernie treated her when she confronted him after that debate about not telling the truth about telling her a woman candidate couldn't win. Or she might not believe he can beat Trump or enact any of his promises, or that we can keep the House and retake the Senate if he's the nominee.

So, it could possibly be a number of concerns.

I think it reflects very well on her that she's thinking deeply about this.

[LisaM]

13. I see no reason for her to do so

In fact, I would prefer that she doesn't.

[ibegurpard]

14. I'm glad she's chosen not to endorse anyone

It's not necessary. The race is happening organically on its own.

[Squinch]

15. LOL! After his followers treated her like shit? I'll be disappointed if she

does endorse him.

[NNadir]

17. I love Elizabeth Warren because she hasn't. Identifying her with him is a tragic mistake.

She has a flexible mind.

He doesn't.

[maxsolomon]

18. NOT endorsing is an endorsement in a way.

All the other former candidates are lining up behind Biden.

Warren hasn't. Neither has Obama.

Добро пожаловать в DU

[blm]

19. I understand it. She's a DOer and he is a talker. Why would she reward a

talker who never managed to translate that talk into a successful plan of action?

[tritsofme]

21. Why would she jump on a sinking ship? Sanders campaign is over.

[relayerbob]

22. After how he treated her?

He blew her off at the debate after calling her a liar, like a typical arrogant man.

He was "shocked and appalled" at what people said about her - AFTER he had his ass handed to him and needed her help.

He told her a woman couldn't win the Presidency. He's divisive and not a team player, and she knows it.

As she herself pointed out, he is a man (with significantly lesser credentials), who has accomplished little of that which he has argued for, and has never stopped anything he has been against.

She's being kind to him and the party by not creating more division, as I imagine she will endorse the real Democrat as soon as Sanders exits the race.

And don't kid yourself thinking that all of her supporters will go to Sanders. I, the ones I know personally and most I've seen here, at DKos and elsewhere are going to go to Biden.

[Bettie]

23. She owes nothing to anyone

If she endorses anyone, it is her choice.

[notinkansas]

31. Really?

Nice attitude ya got there.

[Fiendish Thingy]

25. I think it reflects perfectly on her principles and integrity

She shouldn’t endorse anyone, and let the voters decide.

[LovingA2andMI]

26. She does not HAVE to ENDORSE ANYONE...

Her Choice. Deal with it.

[showblue22]

27. I think she preserved her dignity and integrity.

[BeyondGeography]

28. That would be about the only thing she could do to piss me off

Bernie World treated her like a human fire hydrant for months. Plus, Bernie the Candidate is a lost cause.

[marlakay]

29. I think she knows a lot of her

Supporters were with Hillary and wouldn’t vote for him. Then I think she doesn’t want to approve the supporters of Bernie’s that have said awful stuff, she has said person at top responsible and should be able to shut it down.

That said she agrees with his issues but is smart enough to see handwriting on wall that he isn’t going to win.

I am in same place I am with her issues not excited about Joe but would vote for him. Same with Bernie. So I will stay undecided until convention.

[2naSalit]

30. Why should she?

She doesn't have to endorse anyone ever. And after the way she was summarily dismissed by the media and the party, I think she should just not. If she does, I think she should wait until after the conference.

[Demsrule86]

32. He treated her like dirt. He acted like they were on the same team and then used a script against

her and then called her a liar on national TV at the debate which did not reflect well on him...you think anyone thinks Sen. Warren is lying? I sure don't. I wouldn't give him the time of day...and of course endorsing a candidate who looks to be losing makes little sense politically.

[OnDoutside]

34. It actually reflects very well on her, she clearly has no wish to go down with a sinking ship.

[mzmolly]

35. Likely due to his past odd statements regarding mothers causing

cancer and fantasies about 'abused women' on their knees and such.

[Happy Hoosier]

36. I suspect she found Sanders' behavior less than Presidential.

You can’t treat someone poorly, then expect their support.

[GulfCoast66]

37. What's not to understand? The is a member of the Democratic Party.

Why would she endorse someone who is not?

And apparently a majority of her supporters have switched to Biden.

[LizBeth]

38. She may not particularly like Sanders nor does she think he would make a good President.

I think her not endorsing anyone is the best Sanders can hope for. Sanders is not the cats meow for many.
