It's right there in my signature line, so I don't have to say that every time I start typing. Opinions differ. I have never seen an endorsement, though, that didn't directly state the endorser's support for the election of the endorsee. Maybe you have, but I haven't. Hence my OPINION, as you put it.

Did Elizabeth Warren just endorse Bernie Sanders? [View all] sabrina 1 Jun 2015 OP

Normally when someone endorses, a question mark isn't necessary. NCTraveler Jun 2015 #1

Which is why there IS a question mark. So what do you think she is saying? sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #2

What do I think she is saying where? NCTraveler Jun 2015 #3

I have included a link to her full quote in the OP. sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #26

You don't need opinions on this one. If you did..... NCTraveler Jun 2015 #30

I think you are correct to the point about my actions. NCTraveler Jun 2015 #67

Thank you for saying that, you didn't need to but I appreciate it. And yes, we are all guilty sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #70

The Boston Herald sheshe2 Jun 2015 #66

I don't really care about the SOURCE, did she say it or not? That's all the matters and I am not sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #85

I am from Boston. sheshe2 Jun 2015 #86

Did she say it or not? Clearly she did, so I'm not sure why you keep talking about the source sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #99

one thing I notice is madokie Jun 2015 #41

I like how you bring Hillary supporters into it. NCTraveler Jun 2015 #62

Did that hurt? madokie Jun 2015 #75

I'm not aware of what you are saying. NCTraveler Jun 2015 #76

Of course you don't madokie Jun 2015 #77

she said he has a vision for America and let's hear what he has to say snooper2 Jun 2015 #4

Yes, she did say it was important to hear what he has to say. Which is a lot different to what the sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #8

I thought the question mark made it obvious. nm rhett o rick Jun 2015 #84

I don't know, but I like what she said. lonestarnot Jun 2015 #5

Absolutely. At this stage I don't think Elizabeth Warren or other majors will push too many still_one Jun 2015 #56

no, I don't think it's even close to an endorsement but it's still great cali Jun 2015 #7

It's not an endorsement, though it is true. intheflow Jun 2015 #9

Thanks for your OPINION! Mine is different, which is fine. That is why I ASKED THE QUESTION. sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #23

All of my posts are my opinion. MineralMan Jun 2015 #33

I think we DUers all know what a FORMAL endorsement is. My Op was to ask for the opinions of others sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #54

Exactly. I answered your question. MineralMan Jun 2015 #80

She has to go all the way...no ambiguity. I do appreciate her statement regardless. K&R Jefferson23 Jun 2015 #11

I see...this is a fantasy post brooklynite Jun 2015 #12

You are ignoring the fact that this is a Left leaning nation according to every poll sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #28

This is a CENTER-LEFT leaning nation when it comes to voting brooklynite Jun 2015 #51

No it is not. That is why so many Dems are now registered Independents, because your claim sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #69

LOL -- middle class voters would be scared of Warren on a ticket with Sanders JonLP24 Jun 2015 #96

That's your wishful thinking. She has also written a letter urging Hillary Clinton to run. pnwmom Jun 2015 #13

Did she write it, or just sign it with the other Senators? polichick Jun 2015 #15

If she signed it, she meant it. (I'm not aware who exactly penned it. But it doesn't matter.) n/t pnwmom Jun 2015 #19

I have included a link to Warren't statement about Bernie in the OP. Could you link to her sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #25

Sure, it's pretty easy to find zappaman Jun 2015 #32

Thanks, zappaman! pnwmom Jun 2015 #53

The link is in the OP, there are several sources to the link. And google works just fine, however I sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #58

Signed it with other Senators. nt. NCTraveler Jun 2015 #22

She signed it just after becoming a Senator, in early 2013 Art_from_Ark Jun 2015 #34

2013 - thanks, quite a while ago. polichick Jun 2015 #61

Thanks - then it's the one I remember. polichick Jun 2015 #60

No, but when she speaks people listen. Maybe this will het Exilednight Jun 2015 #16

I sure hope so whatchamacallit Jun 2015 #17

It's not an outright endorsement, but imo, a subtle message to her supporters to pay attention to sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #31

did she do the nod and a wink thing when she said it dlwickham Jun 2015 #59

Have you compared her Senate voting record to Bernie's by any chance? Just asking, I note the sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #63

She is a little left of Sanders JonLP24 Jun 2015 #97

Aaaaaaah sheshe2 Jun 2015 #18

I liked Bella Abzug, and Shirley Chisholm Art_from_Ark Jun 2015 #38

Ann Richards? Go Vols Jun 2015 #39

Nope. She didn't endorse Bernie. She didn't endorse Hillary. She didn't endorse O'Malley onenote Jun 2015 #21

She is far more in sync with Bernie on the issues than she is with Hillary, as Bernie's support sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #40

How do you think she'd answer the question onenote Jun 2015 #71

I'm sure she would say 'yes' and I would agree with her. What I did NOT agree with sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #91

In a sense. Donald Ian Rankin Jun 2015 #24

Bernie is in this to WIN IT. Make no mistake about that, he has repeatedly stated that sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #36

Where did you get that? tazkcmo Jun 2015 #46

I don't think Sanders is a fool. Donald Ian Rankin Jun 2015 #48

Sanders' goal in running is Autumn Jun 2015 #88

EW for VEEP! WDIM Jun 2015 #27

Barbara Lee for VP? JDPriestly Jun 2015 #29

How about Tammy Baldwin? RufusTFirefly Jun 2015 #47

I don't know her views well enough. JDPriestly Jun 2015 #57

I'm not sure if this is an endorsement but I am sure SaranchaIsWaiting Jun 2015 #35

Here's what will happen when she does officially endorse whatchamacallit Jun 2015 #37

Lol! you're probably right. I believe she won't outright endorse anyone until it looks like they sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #43

I agree... SoapBox Jun 2015 #45

Warren won't endorse during the primary. JoePhilly Jun 2015 #78

Profoundly true BrotherIvan Jun 2015 #79

It's not an endorsement, but... Oilwellian Jun 2015 #42

Which I think was her intent. sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #44

but isn't Clinton the closest thing we have to FDR these days? MisterP Jun 2015 #49

That's pretty darn close to an endorsement it seems to me. NorthCarolina Jun 2015 #50

Not yet. AtomicKitten Jun 2015 #52

no. she didn't. n/t SleeplessinSoCal Jun 2015 #65

There is a strong chance that she will kenfrequed Jun 2015 #68

No, but I'm guessing the Clinton campaign still wishes Warren hadn't said it. n/t winter is coming Jun 2015 #72

the non-endorcement endorsement. Javaman Jun 2015 #73

I'm glad it was Bernie rather than Warren at this point. Smears against Warren had already begun, sabrina 1 Jun 2015 #74

All very good points... Javaman Jun 2015 #100

"it is important for people to hear what he has to say" = his message is being endorced. L0oniX Jun 2015 #81

Given her rhetorical strengths, it's a show of support. It's not an endorsement. nm ancianita Jun 2015 #87

No. hrmjustin Jun 2015 #89

Actually, Warren didn't "just" do anything onenote Jun 2015 #90

you're kidding dlwickham Jun 2015 #92

Nope. The date on the article in the OP's link is May 6 onenote Jun 2015 #93

I think Elizabeth will endorse Hillary. kentuck Jun 2015 #94
