Why is Elizabeth Warren supporting a Hillary Clinton sell-out?

[brooklynite]

She's in town today for a fundraiser for my Congresswoman (Nydia Velasquez), a superdelegate who's signed up with Clinton (and who, in my opinion, doesn't need the money); not aware of any pro-Sanders candidates getting Warren's support. Maybe that says something...

1. Maybe.

11. I bet it do

2. Warren knows that Hillary actually wants to get things done instead of promising unrealistically.

3. Not too much longer..

...And I think she'll be hopping off that neutral fence.

4. Because Velasquez is a woman and Warren supports women.

5. this OP is a bit unfair, as the number of prominent Sanders supporters is so small that

we really can't draw any meaningful inferences about the lack of endorsements/fundraising they receive.

I mean, even Donna Edwards is endorsing Hillary.

[brooklynite]

7. Disagree, there are a number of Primary CANDIDATES supporting Sanders...

Shawn O'connor is right next door in New Hampshire.

8. Sure, there are candidates, but are they credible enough to merit endorsements and fundraising? nt

14. Two possibilities...

1) If her hidden allegiance is more toward Clinton, there would obviously be no reason for her to go out of her way to support pro-Sanders candidates, unless she also preferred them for other reasons.

2) If her hidden allegiance is more toward Sanders, the same factors that are preventing her from openly endorsing him now would be at work to prevent her from openly endorsing a pro-Sanders candidate, unless, again, she preferred them for other reasons.

I think she probably doesn't want to expend any political capital on an underdog, unless there is an over-riding reason to do so. So I think at this point, she will only do the "safe" endorsements, i.e. incumbents. Or a dem running unopposed (or at least enormously favored) in a challenge against a Republican incumbent. That would be consistent with her behavior so far.

6. 1+1 = 3

Got it.

10. Thought you were finally admitting Hillary sold out to the corporate lobby. Never mind....

[casperthegm]

12. I think HRC supporters do acknowledge that

I just don't think it matters to them. How else would explain their support of her despite her opposition to Glass Steagall, support of fracking, support of NAFTA, rejects free college education, the Wall Street speeches, etc? These are facts that everyone is aware of, right?

13. re: "not aware of any pro-Sanders candidates getting Warren's support"

How many are there to choose from?
