An Elizabeth Warren Endorsement is Coming

It's coming soon and certainly is welcome.

"Elizabeth Warren has refrained from endorsing a candidate in the presidential race — until now. Sources have told Reuters that the Massachusetts senator plans to endorse presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton within the next few weeks."

"Warren was the only remaining female Democratic senator not to endorse Clinton, and in fact, she has actually praised Bernie Sanders. On MSNBC’s Morning Joe, she called him “a real champion of standing up for working families, taking on Wall Street.”

"However, Warren is motivated to do whatever's necessary to defeat Donald Trump, according to Reuters's sources. Warren is an outspoken critic of Trump and recently tweeted, "Get ready, Donald — we're coming."

"Clinton's advisors told The New York Times in April that she was considering Warren as a running mate. Reuters's sources said Warren wasn't actively pursing a place on Clinton's ticket but hadn't ruled it out either. If she were the VP candidate, we'd have not only the first female major-party nominee but also the first all-female ticket."

I don't know about the VP thing. I still don't see it. I just think it would be hard for Warren to represent the Hillary Administration's views and not her own.

Is she the team player that Hilary was in the Obama Administration?

I do agree that Warren is a very good attack dog on Trump-but Hilary has shown herself pretty adept at that too.

Who do I think it should be? I want Hillary to make her own choice, whoever it is, I would support.

Nothing worse than alleged supporters who always give ultimatums.

But I still think Al Franken could be the best choice-as he checks the most boxes. The only box he doesn't is he's a white male.

Also up there is Julian Castro, Thomas Perez, and Tim Kaine.

Those would be my top choices. AS for most likely I don't know that they have seriously considered Franken-have heard nothing to that effect.

Still, if Hillary thinks Warren is the best choice, I'm all for it. But I suspect all the talk about this is just talk.

Certainly it's great to have Warren on the team. Hopefully she can be one of those who brokers peace between Hillary and Bernie.
