Elizabeth Warren is an exceptional Senator. I am not a Hillary fan but strongly support Senator Warren. (I'm from MA.)
I don't understand your post. Pro or con re: Sen. Warren? Please elaborate.

... that they are expecting a endorsement of Hillary from Warren and that happens the Sanders fans will not be happy with Warren.

Kinda wrong Group! and no we don't need to "elaborate" ~Geesh!

Why do you jump on me because I asked for an elaboration? I was not trying to make trouble, I am trying to understand. I don't necessarily look at the group name to which I respond, I look at the post title and content.

Do the members of the Hillary group own this particular group? Are we, as DU members, not allowed to ask a question or post here?

If I am not allowed a comment or question in the Hillary group, I feel this is a bias and is narrow minded.

Those posting in those groups all support that particular candidate. So when someone from the opposite group posts a disruptive comment in their protected group, that group tends to not be happy about it. I agree, you did not say anything negative, you simply asked a question.

I think someone already answered your question, but I will as well.

Hillary Clinton met with Elizabeth Warren today. That could be an indication Warren will be endorsing Clinton in the near future, or maybe not. But if she does, we anticipate there will be quite the uproar and demonetization of Elizabeth Warren by the Bernie Sanders supporters. Hence, the term "throwing her under the bus" because they have had her on a pedestal.

Elizabeth is an exceptional woman. If Hillary is the candidate, she could do no better than to convince Elizabeth to join her. The same comment would apply to any democratic candidate.

I did not understand what "throwing her under the bus" meant.

So, maybe their tone seems a little harsh. The Cajun answered in the same manner I would have. It's all good. Have a great day!

We've got one card table set up for voter registration, and another for the card game. I brought over my coffee maker and some French roast.

It's all good.

VP, AG, SCOTUS? Fun to speculate.

No more room under the bus, and the bus is nearly out of gas.
