I'm really pissed off. I would like a straight answer to the question as to why Senator Warren has not come out in support of Bernie Sanders MILES AGO. What's her political calculus? Any thoughts? Why has mainstream media not addressed this obvious elephant?

(5,191 posts)We know she agrees with most of Bernie's positions, but she still has to work with everyone in the Democratic Party. Why does she have to endorse?

(8,352 posts)But it would be nice if she would state that she won't endorse either. Various organizations and figures have said the same without repercussions.

(8,352 posts)Just endorse either candidate or just come out and say that she will not formally endorse any candidate until after the primary is over.

(5,191 posts)She's smart.
She will, but being premature could really hurt her and us if it ends up a Clinton administration.

(8,352 posts)But by not at least stating her neutrality soon progressives are going to doubt her and her intentions. Her important work relies on the public trusting her in her reigning in of Wall Street.

She will do what she will do when she feels is the right time. None may gainsay her.
As she won't succumb to Team Hillary, so she shouldn't succumb to influences from us.
do not act the stereotype, it hurts the revolution..

TIME TO PANIC
(1,894 posts)... Fear of retribution from the Clinton machine, is the most likely reason she hasn't.
Mike Nelson
(10,285 posts)...she will endorse. This way she looks like a winner and can be considered for a position in the cabinet, including VP.

(15 posts)I respect everyones opinions, now tell us something we don't already know. All these knee jerk defensive responses ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH. A douche bag like Trump is ahead of all the other clowns simply because he's saying what he's for.

(13,877 posts)either Democratic Candidate. I'm disappointed, but don't think her endorsement would be effective then or now. She has a foot in both camps and will wait until nomination. That is probably the best position for her, at this point.
