No endorsement has ever meant the difference in any race.

In fact, most endorsements make absolutely no difference in any race.

... to be a good Democrat. She will endorse the Dem nominee as soon as it is obvious who that nominee will be.

Were Warren to endorse HRC at this point, BS supporters would not be moved. The same is true the other way - HRC supporters would not flock to BS as a result of Warren endorsing Bernie.

So, no. Warren's endorsement would be of no consequence whatsoever.

I don't know, but you may be right. Warren is a very clever woman with a lot of clout. She knows how to play the game to win it.
