Are you suggesting retribution from Hillary if she endorses Bernie?

6. That's exactly the reason.

Clintons unleashed hell on office-holders who endorsed Obama, endorsing and campaigning for primary challengers. The existence of the Clinton enemies list is well known...very Nixonesque in paranoia and retribution.

7. Because having a President that is pissed at you and doesn't return your calls

can significantly reduce your effectiveness. She could also find herself a member of the
Congressional Garbage Pickup Committee instead of being on the Banking Committee.

2. I think that SHE thinks the endorsement games are a bit petty

I also think she doesn't want to tilt it either way with her outright endorsement.

10. It's simple. You do not cross the Clinton machine without consequences.

As much as it would help Bernie if she did, I can understand why.

12. Smarter for her to wait until someone is clearly

in the lead. She is focusing on her senatorial duties which is exactly what she should be doing.

15. Her lack of endorsement of Hill is as close to an endorsement for Bernie we're going to get for now

Every female senator is now quite literally touring around on a bus to shill for Hill with one exception: Warren. From what's circulating around the press, the pressure on her from her colleagues to endorse Hillary has been immense; meanwhile, she has defended Bernie's positions publicly. Her holding out on endorsing Hillary is likely as close as we are going to get to an endorsement for Bernie for a while (she's held out on endorsing Hillary for so long that the silence is deafening), and frankly I don't expect her to endorse anyone during the primary at this point.

They are waiting to announce her as his VP pick. If/when that happens, it's all over.

I say let the emotion build.
