Why isn't she endorsing Bernie considering she's a good political match with him and Hillary is not a good match for her?

(17,064 posts)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.

The Clintons are well known for holding a grudge.

(1,021 posts)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.

I say let the emotion build.
