Two months before voting begins in the 2016 presidential primaries, Sen. Elizabeth Warren remains the only female Democratic senator not to have endorsed Hillary Clinton.
Clinton held an event Monday evening inside a Capitol Hill hotel with 13 of the Senate's 14 female Democrats, making Warren's absence particularly glaring.
Every one of the women in attendance had previously endorsed Clinton in some capacity except Sen. Maria Cantwell of Washington, whose spokesperson told U.S. News in October she was still a holdout. But with Cantwell coming on board, the assembly was meant to convey a powerful show of unity around Clinton, a former senator from New York and the former secretary of state. "We're going to be there for Hillary, we're going to get the vote out," said Cantwell.
Clinton now boasts endorsements from 38 of the 46 Senate Democratic members, or 83 percent of the caucus, according to The Chase, U.S. News' political tracker.
The article goes on to point out that none of the GOP candidates have more than three Senate endorsements and Bernie Sanders has none.
MSNBC pointed out last night that Warren was among those who asked for Clinton to get into the race, however now it appears she is less than enthusiastic.
It should also be noted that Warren has also not endorsed Bernie Sanders.

GO PALIN!
Delete@12:41 -TO THE METH LAB THAT SPAWNED YOU! LOL
DeleteWould be a little awkward to have endorsed Hillary if Bernie could be planning to ask her to be on his ticket. She might just be waiting to see.
ReplyDeleteNow THAT would be a team!
Mildred
And you know THAT would actually be the game changer.
DeleteI do not think that Sanders can beat Hillary in the primary, nor any Republican beat her in the general.
But you throw Elizabeth Warren into the mix, and all bets are off.
An even better game changer would be for Hillary to choose Elizabeth Warren for her VP
DeleteI, too, would hope Hillary will ask Warren to be her running mate. They would be a great team and would win hands down!
DeleteI still believe putting Warren in as vp would be a mistake, only because she can do so much more as a Senator. And I feel the same way about Bernie. They both have way too much fight in them to be removed from the more productive office of the senate at this point in their careers.
DeleteOr she may not have been in town, or she may be waiting ( as I am) to back which ever candidate gets the party nod.
DeleteI think this is much ado over nothing.
I still want to know why FOA invited $arah.
ReplyDeleteGrasping at straws; you have to be effing kidding me.
who cares? The losers deserve each other
DeleteFOA is made up of $arah's Hollywood "friends" (fellow religious extremists) who keep putting her on TV. Look for another Palin reality show next year. Trace it back to this little gathering and count the butts that $he kissed to make it happen. Mark Burnett will be in the mix somewhere.
DeleteDid that help?
The connection is through Brietbart. I think I read somewhere that Kelsey Grammer is one of the original backers of the Brietbart site. He and Sinese are part of the original team backing these guys. The thing is, by in large, they try to keep this little enterprise under the radar for obvious reasons. I highly doubt you will see any party photos with any of the A listers that belong to this cult, i.e., Grammer, Eastwood, Bruckmeir. We shall see.
DeleteHillary Clinton Blasts Ted Cruz For Revising History To Hide His Real Record
ReplyDeleteThe Hillary Clinton campaign isn’t tolerating Ted Cruz’s lies. The Clinton camp blasted Cruz for reinventing history in order to hide his real record.
...Ted Cruz completely invented his own new reality. The facts are that Cruz supports a personhood amendment to the Constitution that would ban birth control. Ted Cruz thinks contraception is the same as abortion induced drugs.
Less than three months ago, Cruz tried to shut down the government over defunding Planned Parenthood.
Ted Cruz has stolen the pages from Donald Trump’s playbook and is now making it up as he goes along. The media never challenges Cruz’s made up “facts,” so it is up to Democrats like Hillary Clinton to set the record straight.

It will make no difference and be no surprise if Elizabeth Warren endorses Bernie Sanders. Everybody likes Bernie.
ReplyDeleteI can't quite see her endorsing Hillary "Wall Street" Clinton.
DeleteI don't think Warren will 'waste' the endorsement on Bernie Sanders. He's a great guy, but Hillary Clinton will be elected the next POTUS and Warren knows it! She'll endorse Hillary!
DeleteThe Mikulski endorsement must sting O'Malley a little. His mom has worked for Mikulski for decades, and he himself had worked for her in her first Senate run. A lot of his staff are also former Mikulski staffers.
ReplyDeleteO'Malley will make a fine VP
Delete@anon 1:27pm
DeleteTypically candidates pick a running mate from different regions of the country. Most candidates from the NE region of the USA will not select a running mate from the same region.
Warren is saving her Hillary endorsement for the right time for the enthusiasm boast
ReplyDeleteBernie Sanders Storms The Senate Floor And Drops A Megaton Reality Bomb On Republicans
ReplyDeleteSen. Bernie Sanders took to the Senate floor and shattered the Mitch McConnell’s Obamacare repeal delusion by dropping a fact bomb on the GOP.
On the Senate floor, Sen. Sanders said:
I think everybody here in the Senate understands this, the bill we are debating today is a complete waste of time. This is just another reason why the American people have so little respect for the Congress.
There are major crises facing our country and the Republican leadership once again is attempting to repeal Obamacare. I kind of lost track about how many times this effort has been made. I think in the House it was over fifty. I don’t know how many it is here in the Senate.
So let me break the news to my Republican colleagues, although I am sure that they already got the news. And that is Obama is not going to sign a bill repealing Obamacare. I think that is not likely to happen, and what we are doing today is just a waste of time.
….The last thing we need is a budget reconciliation bill that throws 17 million Americans off of health insurance and denies nearly 3 million women the health care they need by defunding Planned Parenthood.
The reason why the American people are angry and the reason why the Congress is so unpopular is that the Congress is not addressing the real problems that are impacting their lives each and every day. At a time when the rich are getting richer, poverty is increasing, and the middle class has been in a 40-year decline, we need a budget that improves the lives of all Americans, not just the people on the top.
Sanders delivered the blunt truth to the Grand Old Reality Challenged Party. Their reconciliation bill/wish list of taking away health care from seventeen million people while defunding Planned Parenthood is never going to happen. Period. It isn’t going to happen. President Obama will never sign the bill, and Republicans will never have the votes needed to override his veto.

Sorry, but Golden Girl Lizzie hangs out with con-woman Suze Orman. 'member Ormans' pre-paid debit card rip-off scam? or how about when she encouraged people to get into debt so they can create a FICO score? Lizzie's a politician now, and Orman's a con. I trust neither. And Hillary...depends on what the polls say. And She's got that Billbotross around her neck who's a threat to national security with his philandering ways. If it comes down to Cruz vs. Clinton, Hillary better put Teddy in the corner in the debates. I FN can't stand that self-righteous asshole, and yet every time I see his face, I break out laughing. And Trump, well, he's entertaining and he knows it.
ReplyDeleteEndorsements shmendorsements. It is a lame tradition, akin to picking the popular kids for your dodge ball team. Why should any of the voting public care which lying politician endorsed another lying politician. And even dumber is the expectation that Warren will just endorse Hillary because 'vagina' apparently... "well all the other vaginas endorsed her!" Stupid. Grow brains.
ReplyDeleteAgreed!!
DeleteI strongly disagree with your assessment but thanks for your opinion.
DeleteGlenn Beck eventually began to speculate that the business mogul’s entire presidential campaign is part of some secret deal to help Hillary Clinton get elected to the White House.
ReplyDeleteAfter pointing out that pretty much all of Trump’s stated positions make no sense and often directly contradict his previously stated views, Beck concluded that is is “more logical” to conclude that Trump is running for president in order to launch a third party campaign for the purpose of undermining the Republican Party and benefiting of Hillary Clinton.
“What are the odds that he is a spoiler?” Beck asked. “What are the odds that he got into this because he’s friend with the Clintons and he’ll get massive payback? If Hillary Clinton gets in because he ran third party, do you know the favor they’re going to owe him?”

I have to admit, I've entertained this same explanation for his campaign. But I also wonder if he started to think, man I could win this thing and then started to take the process more seriously. Who knows? I do know this, he will never be POTUS.
DeleteMy thoughts, too
DeleteOh man, Gryphen, you won't believe this. Sorry, it's about Palin again, but CBN did her interview, and a write-up on what she said. The article is "My Toughest Year so Far (barf). It goes, "Then, the tabloids went into overdrive when the long-awaited marriage of her 25-year-old daughter, Bristol, didn't happen, even though she is pregnant with her ex-fiance's baby".
ReplyDeleteWow!
Whoa doggies!!!
DeleteCall your lawyer, Duhkota, or suffer for the rest of your life!
Sorry, I'm a married woman with three kids. If my mom/mother in law dared even trying to exploit me, my kids or my family for political points or to sell a book, they'd both be sipping their smoothies through their sneaker laces.
DeleteQuick, Nancy, slap that lie down. Accusing someone of paternity with no proof is a low blow. Was Sarah there when the planned unplanned conception took place? And if so, yuck. Hope she took selfies every step of the way!!!
Hope the Palins aren't too devastated when the DNA proves that Dakota the MOH is NOT the sperm donor to the newest bastard. Barstool may have to go on the Maury show to find out who the baby daddy is.
DeleteWhen do you think the little Sailor was born? Too bad CBN is too dumb to realize the dates don't match up to be the MOH's.

Clinton looks like she just stepped off the short bus in the above picture, Warren her special needs assistant. What does HR stand for, highly retarded?
ReplyDeleteOMG that made me laugh! Hills does look completely goofy in that photo, she's had some work and polishing done since then but really, she's never going to be a looker, good thing she's rich!
DeleteI think Warren is more likely to endorse Sanders than Clinton.
ReplyDeleteIt's still early yet.
I think Warren may be holding her endorsement to keep pressure on Hillary to move and stay to the left. I like Warren, but really, what has she done as Senator? She asks great questions in hearings, but I want her to stay in Congress and pass some laws.
