and this story is accurate (which I don't doubt it). My thoughts are that there is a significant area of conflict between the most dearly held positions of Elizabeth Warren and Hillary Clinton due Clinton's chumminess with Wall St.

Warren gets concessions for herself and plays a critical role in uniting the Hillary and Bernie groups. If successful, her role boosts her power in the party which also promotes her own agenda.

Sometimes, the Kingmaker (or Queenmaker) role is much more powerful AND much more flexible. It's sometimes more satisfying to pull the strings behind the scenes. Everyone who matters in day to day life knows who the power behind the throne is, even if average people don't.

I think we just figured out the entire gameplan.

Not Elizabeth Warren and not Bernie.

no reason for her to go to either side, obvious role for her when the smoke clears

I hope the young voters show more backbone than our generation has had.

she's going to need her more later.

"In doing so, she could play a critical role helping to bring young, enthusiastic Sanders supporters into her fold."

There is no way that Warren or even Sanders himself is going to sell Clinton to young voters or to most Sanders supporters.
The Democratic Party nominating Hillary Clinton will be it's undoing.

For many at this point, just saying "I'm a Democrat" and expecting that person's vote is no longer good enough.

Now she needs to keep her powder dry because if Clinton wins the nomination (likely) and then blows the general election (inevitably), Warren might be the only one with the ability to pick up the pieces of the crippled Democratic party.

If I were Warren, I would be working hardest on building bridges with the few still functioning local machine political systems of the Democratic party.

Liars gotta Lie.
