The nation's largest union is about to endorse Hillary and now Wendy Davis endorses Hillary?

WOW!

Huge endorsements.

I saw Wendy Davis on Real Time a few weeks ago. She was amazing.

When it comes to the NEA endorsement, a big reason why they're endorsing Hillary instead of Bernie is because Bernie's campaign ignored them:

<...>

But the spokesman said that Clinton, Sanders and O’Malley have all met in person with NEA’s president. And on July 2, the NEA reached out to the three campaigns to invite them to participate in a tele-town hall with members. They said Sanders never responded. “After multiple attempts, the campaign failed to respond to our efforts to schedule a time and date for this tele-town hall during the back to school period. Sec. Clinton was the only campaign to respond,” the spokesman said. Sanders’ campaign refuted that claim.

Those are big, for sure. The main reason NEA is endorsing her is simply because she's the best DanTex Sep 2015 #1

candidate. Obviously, ignoring their request didn't help, and maybe it was a symptom of early lack of organization, but as we've seen, unions by and large understand that Hillary is the right choice for the Democratic party.

for the rank and file? Not so much.

Which is why there's going to be a clash.

and surely it will come up again for all the (many) future endorsements she gets. At the end of the day, Hillary is the one that will best support and represent unions.

I think she is looking for a job that she doesn't have to win a campaign for.

She recently said that she wanted to stay in politics but wasn't sure in what capacity.

A "little birdie" told me that Hillary offered her a job for her endorsement.

Prove me wrong.
