1. Kanye West?

[Agschmid]

3. Taylor Swift...

[HappyPlace]

18. Tay Zonday? The dude who sings "Chocolate Rain"?

[Agschmid]

2. Now that's an endorsement which will matter.

[msrizzo]

4. Deez Nuts?

It could be the boost that he needs.

5. Clinton bagged Howard Dean. Did Joe bag Warren?

She said "It was a lo-o-o-o-ng conversation"

If so, what did she get for the deal? Reinstatement of glass/steagall?

[DFW]

9. Clinton didn't "bag" Howard.

Howard put her through the third degree and figured he could support her. This was last year, and no one had declared yet. She leans on him for political advice as someone who was put through the wringer already, and knows perfectly well what it means to be shit upon by both left and right (2004), and emerge victorious down the road (2006 and then 2008). Howard's support wasn't for sale. It was earned and then freely given. He knows what it means to give his all and then be tossed out like so much garbage. It happened in 2009. He knows full well by now to expect nothing in return. He does what he does because he thinks he's doing the right thing, and at this point, he's only too used to having people disagree with him.

11. dean said on election night 2012 that if hillary runs

In the next election he will be one of her biggest supporters.

[Hiraeth]

13. Joe Biden? When did he announce and how did I miss it? or else why would EW endorse someone

who is not running? confusion.

[99th_Monkey]

15. It was a question, not an assertion.

but you knew that.

[Hiraeth]

16. uhm... now I do. thanks. They did have a long conversation, she and Joe.

[HappyPlace]

20. Can we find a different verb from "bag", please.

I have all these images now, Joe, Warren, Clinton and Dean.

Lord help me, pass the brain wash!

[99th_Monkey]

24. I'm open to suggestions

what verb do you think might be better,

for when a notoriously Establishment-Democrat gets a notoriously "populist grass-roots"
figure in their own party to champion their candidacy?

I'm open to suggestions.

[HappyPlace]

25. let's see... tap? no.... nail? nope...

gee, I guess bag is no less worse than the others.

I was just joshing, there's a double entendre´to be had with all three word choices.

[99th_Monkey]

26. Hi-jacks? Dragoons?

Sometimes, reality just sucks.

[L. Coyote]

33. My first thought, "close"

as in close a real estate deal, etc. Gaining an endorsement is the action, so gain is another option.

[Gman]

6. She'll endorse Hillary

She signed the letter encouraging her to run. She's more aligned with Hillary on the issues than with Sanders. And no, Wall Streey is not the only issue

This will cause great consternation among Sanders supporters. They will either 1) split and some support Hillary or 2) (more likely) Sanders supporters will turn on her.

[delrem]

12. That would blow the credibility of her entire message right out of the water.

It would finish her.

[Hiraeth]

14. perzackly. wtf. this would go against everything she has said and done.

[Gman]

17. With who?

Doesn't seem like she wants to be prez. Voters in MA are quite happy with her. Anybody else doesn't matter. They can't vote for her.

I suspect Hillary has a huge lead in MA. So it definitely cannot hurt her to endorse Hillary.

[virtualobserver]

23. she has refused to say if she will run for re-election

I think that she has something else planned

[CentralMass]

28. Sanders/Warren ....

[virtualobserver]

30. wouldn't it be nice

[Gman]

31. She has 5 1/2 years left on her term

She can't even say if she will be alive 5 1/2 years from now.

[virtualobserver]

34. actually nobody can say that

[brooklynite]

35. She HAS said she'll serve out her term (until 2018)

sorry

[virtualobserver]

36. so if Hillary or anyone else offered her a position, you believe that she would refuse it?

[brooklynite]

37. You tell me -- I keep being told here that she's not an "ordinary politician".

[virtualobserver]

38. you convinced me, she will endorse Bernie and stay in the senate

[Logical]

19. How cute, whining about the DU. nt

[Gman]

21. It's not at all confined to DU

FB is a much broader universe. And it's just as bad there.

[arcane1]

22. Only two options, are there?

No third option to continue supporting Sanders and not turn on Warren?

[Gman]

32. I guess, but

Somewhat unlikely.

[underthematrix]

7. Now that's interesting.

[Ill16]

8. When is the primary vote in MA?

[MrMickeysMom]

10. Hey, that's an easy one...

She'll endorse the person who has the leadership to make accountable the banking system. She will stand behind a leader who understands the oversight necessary for our next big thing… the ONLY thing we are left with to stop the bleeding… an outright paradigm shift of what constitutes wealth in this country.

(Hint: It isn't the international bankers who lend at 0% and enable Libor rate fixing and swapping risks of debt default).

Now… on to who that candidate might be… Cooler minds must prevail, I tell you. Stead on… consistent message…

Anybody hear it?

[NowSam]

27. Her Endorsement Will be Very Valuable

She is one of the most respected voices in government today. She has stood fast against the power brokers and speaks her mind without fear.

It appears that her and Bernie see eye to eye on just about everything. If she chooses one of the others it would be great for them but she would be diminished in my eyes because I expect her to be consistent with her values. I need to believe her and If she betrays her values by endorsing a different candidate I would wonder forever how she could do that.

I hope that if she lends her support to a candidate in this cycle it is Bernie Sanders!

Sanders / Warren 2016

[fadedrose]

29. From watching Rachel's program tonight

I think he talked her into it....and she will be VP....but I am almost always wrong when it comes to Warren. I was surprised when she herself didn't run.

Biden/Warren would be unbeatable IMO, and that leaves Bernie Sanders with the higher Senate position that Rachel now holds, or Majority Leader if they can get the party thing straightened out and McConnell sent to the farm.
