When is Elizabeth Warren going to endorse Hillary?

M_rch

Can I buy a vowel?

Could easily be earlier, but I don't think she will do so until either Senator Sanders drops out, or is hopelessly behind in delegates (March).

Hopefully earlier, but maybe not. Senator Brown endorsing Hillary gives me hope that it might be sooner, rather than later.

Ultimately, Senator Warren will endorse our nominee, which will be Hillary.

she's been great to this point, but endorsing the establishment candidate that represents things she's fought against, would make her just another politician

still remain high -- perhaps just a little bit less. Just think of all she has done in the
last few years. Would you let one mistake simply undo all of that? I think it would
be totally out of proportion. We all make mistakes -- even Elizabeth.

10. A reminder that Senator Warren signed a letter urging Hillary to run.

Essentially endorsing a Clinton Presidency.

Different from a primary endorsement, but saying that she would approve of Hillary as POTUS.

or definitely right after the Super Tuesday primaries on March 1. As soon as it's clear who the nominee will be, she'll endorse.

8. I believe Warren has put herself in a position where she shouldn't endorse until the primary is over

That is specially the case if she is thinking about endorsing Hillary now. I love Warren and know that if she endorsed Hillary before the end of the primary, a large part of her vocal support will turn on her. I have seen some really shitty things said about Brown, Maddow, Guttierrez, and a whole host of other great progressives simply because they endorsed another great progressive. I feel so strongly in the future of Warren that I hope she waits if she plans on endorsing Hillary. The knives will come out for her if she doesn't.

If she plans on endorsing Sanders, I think she should do it now. One, Sanders floundering campaign needs it. Two, Clinton supporters will still have enormous respect for her.
