Eliabeth Warren ENDORSES Hillary Clinton!

All of the female Democratic senators signed a secret letter to Hillary Rodham Clinton early this year encouraging her to run for president in 2016 – a letter that includes the signature of Sen. Elizabeth Warren and other senators who are mentioned as potential candidates, two high-ranking Democratic Senate aides told ABC News.
......
Warren, D-Mass., has been widely mentioned as a possible liberal alternative to Clinton in Democratic primaries. While she has denied interest in running, this letter goes further than she’s gone previously in supporting a Clinton candidacy.

Actually, this is old news - the article is dated Oct. 30. But there appears to be a group here that have forgotten it.

She, like Bill (NAFTA), is too corporate. At least we know that going into it. I feel a bit like I was taken by Obama's hope and change message. I think he's done a great job given all the obstruction. He has surprised me with his TPP stance. I'm afraid of an 11th hour decision on KXL.

I'm not happy at all with his TPP support.

Let's just think about it this way: If Warren was asked to sign this secret letter in support of Hillary Clinton for President, could she really say No? So was it really an endorsement or just a practical way to not have people all over her for daring to challenge the grate Clinton.

No, she couldn't. This letter nonsense is just that - nonsense. Probably Bill's or Lanny's made up story.

She signed a secret letter with 25 other women, started by a Clinton supporter, which merely encourages Hillary to run.

Do you want her to deny the lie that this is a public endorsement?

But it sure is weird, and it sure is widespread.

They're angry, they bend the meanings of words, and they post nothing about why Warren shouldn't run, just that she'll lose, she belongs in the Senate, and that her supporters are really, really stupid and/or Republican infiltrators.

Very odd.

In fact, I'm seriously thinking going full Independent. The "Democrats" have moved far too right for far too long, and I see ZERO impetus to move Left from this batch of so-called "DEMS." Disgusting.

It just makes me think less of Senator Warren if she doesn't see Hillary's values are anathema to the values and issues Warren ran on for her Senate seat and the reasons that so many of us are trying to draft her to run.

then again, EW may not be ready to run for president, anyway. She was just elected as a freshman Senator a little over a year ago. It's a long time between now and 2016, and there are still the midterm elections to focus on, so it's best to wait and see who will step forward. Regardless of which Democrat gets the nomination, it's important to give them a strong progressive majority in both Houses.

And endorsement is a public, exclusive announcement of support for candidate running for political office.

A secret encouragement to run is not an endorsement.

How odd, since there's nothing about an "endorsement". A political endorsement is a quite different animal than 'encouraging someone to run'.

of some of our fears regarding her positions so maybe she will address them publically and reconsider them.

She's a smart woman. I'm sure she is politically adept to know when to evolve with the changing political landscape.

I imagine Hillary won't be getting a whole lot of "secret letters" once people know that she or (more likely) her people leak the info.
