The media tried to drum up suspense and ratings by pushing the narrative that Warren would drop out and endorse Sanders – but that was never going to happen.

Now they’re covering for it by suggesting Warren is only withholding an endorsement due to Bernie’s trolls. LOL

Bernie’s unwillingness to control his trolls is serious problem that raises questions about his leadership and character. But it’s not something she’d withhold an endorsement over.

If you listened to Warren last night, it’s pretty clear she thinks Bernie’s an all around idiot.

Warren knows Bernie better than anyone. She likes that he pushes the progressive views she cares about. But she knows he’s a simpleton and stooge who would fail spectacularly if he were president. Warren’s own words strongly suggest she’d rather have someone competent like Biden.

Warren found Bloomberg to be 100% unacceptable – but she’s just fine with Biden. Speaks to the huge difference between a corporate centrist like Bloomberg and a liberal like Biden. In hindsight, Warren appears to have taken down Bloomberg so she could clear a path for Biden.

I’m not going to try to put a Biden endorsement into Warren’s mouth. If she wanted to endorse him last night, she would have. But she clearly thinks Biden would be a suitable president, while she has concerns about Bernie being president. It’s not always just about ideology.

Warren probably could have put Bernie over the top four years ago with a well timed primary endorsement. By keeping quiet, Warren basically endorsed Hillary. It’s not that Warren wanted Hillary. It’s that Bernie isn’t president material.

Warren should have run four years ago. Bernie never would have gotten off the ground. Warren and Hillary would have had a great contest of smart ideas – and the loser would have gotten behind the winner in timely and enthusiastic fashion, thus likely beating Trump.
