My bold prediction: Elizabeth Warren will be endorsing Hillary soon

I'm willing to bet that Hillary and her have already started working out the particulars, and my guess is that Warren will be getting a very favorable speaking slot at the Convention.

She waited too long to do anything. Her endorsement doesn't mean shit to me anymore. ViseGrip Apr 2016 #1
pS. is her endorsement because she is winning? or because she 'believes' in her? ViseGrip Apr 2016 #2
Yes, she will endorse to bring the party together. Walk away Apr 2016 #3
Exactly. At a time of her choosing. Hortensis Apr 2016 #15

Indeed! Hillary Clinton will let the person who lost to her pick her VP... Walk away Apr 2016 #18
Of course she won't. I didn't say that. KPN Apr 2016 #20

Hmmmm...

That's why I don't care about political moves Liz makes anymore. I like her work in the senate, but she sucks at politics.

Unlike Bernie, she is a Democrat. She will do what is best for the party to make sure we have a Democratic POTUS.

Hillary will play into Bernie's hands whether she knows it or not (likely not).

But you can go ahead and act foolishly if you like.

Hillary's instincts have been and are a real negative for her. We shall see how this plays out.

I will gladly take any bet (up to $100). I'm serious and will honor my bet.

And I also think that it would be wise to put her on the ticket.

The USS Clinton is standing well out to sea, and there's Liz on the quay with her duffel, hopelessly AWOL.

But SSN FBI is still in waters so who knows what can happen. A FBI investigation no matter what any drones say is still going on and we the people have no idea what way it is going. Which kinda sucks that someone would put the DNC in such a situation with possibility of handing the win to Trump because our candidate has legal issues.

She's too sensible and classy to get involved in any kind of superdelegate controversy.

I really never understood the line of thought that she should endorse Sanders. Anybody who is a Warren fan was already voting Sanders; she doesn't bring any new voters to him. She could bring some voters to Clinton, though. (I could also see her not endorsing at any point.)

She has held off endorsing either candidate so far but will undoubtedly endorse whichever one wins the nomination.

What also seems probable is that she will be thrown under the bus immediately thereafter by some.
