http://blogs.wgbh.org/masspoliticsprofs/2016/2/22/warren-wont-endorse-sanders/"...The truth is that Warren will not endorse until the nomination is a fait accompli. She will not put her foot on the scale to help the now faltering protest candidacy of Bernie Sanders primarily because she believes in the Democratic Party. She believes that a strong united Democratic Party is the key to electoral victory and policy accomplishment.

Theres no denying the ideological fit between Warren and Sanders, but there is also a significant difference between the two. Warren understands better than Sanders the limited utility of protest politics. She also understands that if Sanders truly is capable of winning in the fall, he would also be capable of winning the nomination without her foot on the scale.

The perception, repeated by Eric Fehrnstrom in the Globe recently, that Warren owes her own 2012 election to ultra-progressive voters and her anti-Wall Street crusade is flatly wrong. Warren was a good candidate who definitely put her progressive message front and center, but she beat Scott Brown because she is a Democrat, not because she is a progressive. Warren understands that the realization of her agenda requires a healthy, powerful Democratic Party. She may sympathize with Bernies ideology and values, but she does not sympathize with Bernies contempt for the Democratic Party establishment. "
An interesting take and it feels on point to me, we'll see if this comes to pass.

(31,234 posts)way too much emphasis can be placed on them. Ben Jealous endorsed BS, and it hasn't seemed to make a lick of difference.

(4,507 posts)and I would be if the government would just make it legal again - I'd bet against her endorsing.
I've felt this from the beginning.
It just doesn't make any sense for her political trajectory. Her political trajectory is excellent right now, when that's the case, you don't deviate course.
