1. I could care less. She's cautious. If it looks like Hillary will wrap up the nomination

she will endorse her. Same with Bernie. She wants to be in someone's cabinet, in my opinion.

3. pretty much

I could care less about her

2. After NH, her endorsement is irrelevant.

4. I am thinking no endorsement until the nomination is assured.

Then, she will be all in on whoever that is.

I think she's just pragmatic and sees no advantage to get involved with primary politics. She wants to stay in the Senate and will have to work with whichever Democratic candidate wins in November.

5. I agree

I don't think she will endorse until things settle down a bit, and one or the other has a clear advantage. While I don't think she'll wait until someone has the nomination completely sown up, after Super Tuesday we should have a pretty good idea who the nominee is going to be, and I think she'll endorse then. Were she to endorse Clinton now, or even after NH or SC, Sanders supporters would never let her live it down, no matter how this contest plays out. I think she's wise to play it safe right now because she's caught in the middle between them in many ways, or at least it appears that way.

She is an important and influential voice in the Senate and the candidate will need her on board. She will do a lot to mend the party once the primaries are over, I think.

6. The real question is why she hasn't endorsed Bernie yet

since they are so close on the issues. What is holding her back? I admire & like Senator Warren if she endorses Bernie or Hillary that is fine with me.

7. I would welcome her support

Just like I would welcome the support of any ordinary citizen who is not famous or not a US Senator.

8. I'm surprised by the reaction.

Warren is focused on the corruption on Wall Street and knows Congress must act. A vast majority of voters care about this. I think she will surprise people and endorse Hillary and remain in the Senate to draft legislation

My ideal scenario is that HRC takes office and begins the calls for Wall Street reform. The GOP will likely keep both chambers, and their resistance will cause voters to boot them out in 2018.

9. I think she'll wait till after things are settled

That said, I will pay cash money to be on this board if she does endorse HRC before Super Tuesday.

10. Warren is not going to endorse anyone until after the nominee has been determined.

As much as many are trying to push that idea, it makes no sense for her to do so

12. I'm glad all the other Senators and Reps are so cautious and speak their mind.

14. I understand your point Cha. Warren is playing a political game, and she is not going to stick her

neck out. She doesn't want to lose the "populous motif".

She is playing it both ways

[Cha]

15. Hi, I meant to say "aren't" so cautious.

Yes, someday she'll trip up. 'Cause I don't like the crowd she's playing to.

[still_one]

18. I knew exactly what you meant, and you are right

[jmowreader]

11. My feeling is she won't endorse either

Bernie's "reforms" won't solve the problem...do ya really think serious stock players don't know you can trade US issues through HSBC in Hong Kong and escape Bernie's transaction tax? Or that they won't bail on US issues altogether and stick to European or Asian blue chips? And exactly why does Bernie refuse to rein in the OTC derivatives industry that caused the Great Recession? Warren, of all people, knows this.

On the other side of the primary ballot, Warren notices Clinton doesn't think stockbrokers have cloven hooves.

13. Warren could do so much to help bring the party back together

when Hillary wins the nomination. Marco Rubio is out there saying Obama is trying to make the U.S. like the rest of the world. That's some claim. The mere idea of getting more health care coverage for Americans is a negative in their minds. It is so twisted and cruel.

The more the Republicans gripe though the easier it should be to bring Dems back together. Warren is so good at putting the focus on criminals on Wall Street and the harm that has done to our economy and income inequality, which should help undecideds opt for the Democrat. And I think Warren should at least be a main speaker at the convention, even if there is no endorsement.

16. Good point, Sleepless!

[romana]

17. Excellent point

That would be an important role for Warren once the primaries are over with.

19. Warren is smart

She sees the hand writing on the wall. She needs to keep her powder dry so as not to piss off the kids and bros. then, she will endorse Hillary when it is clear she has it wrapped up, and then use her position to unite progressives and the rest of the party.
