Elizabeth Warren on Fire: Endorses Clinton, Destroys Trump, Considers VP Slot

This was a good interview on The Rachael Maddow Show.

I'm super busy this week, so I haven't had time to delve into why Warren is so strongly endorsing Hilary … with that caveat, I'm disappointed in her. Her endorsement means nothing to me. I'm still going to vote third-party; I hope Bernie takes up Jill Stein on the offer to run under the Green Party ticket. Even if he can't win, I hope he amasses enough votes to express the dissatisfaction any true progressive feels with this Hobson's choice of a Democratic candidate.
Frankly, I view Warren's refusal to come out and endorse Bernie during the primary as a betrayal of her principles in favor of the same purely political considerations that motivate all of Hilary's actions. Even on the one issue Warren is most passionate about (Wall Street corruption and economic inequality : same as Bernie, so again, why not endorse him?), it's clear that Hilary is just tacking with the political winds. At best, it feels like Warren is being pragmatic, endorsing Hilary because she's going to be the Democratic nominee, and Warren feels she can lend her weight with the progressives to help Hilary in the (what Warren thinks is) all-important fight to prevent Trump from becoming President.

jacobslokum, if you feel so strongly about Hillary Clinton you could at least have spelled her name correctly.
