She finally gets with the program….
She has taken more time to do this than Bernie Sanders , who was the closest to Biden in the race…
They ALL have to row together to beat Donald Trump come November…
Elizabeth Warren endorsed Joe Biden on Wednesday morning, the third big endorsement for the former vice president this week as Democrats unite for the general election.
“We’re all in this together now,” Warren said in a prerecorded video posted on Twitter. “And now, it’s up to all of us to help make Joe Biden the next president of the United States. Let’s get to work.”
The endorsement comes after Sen. Bernie Sanders and former President Barack Obama also endorsed Biden this week. With Sanders and Warren, Biden now has the backing of the two big-name progressive rivals as he tries to marshal the party for a bruising general election against President Donald Trump’s vast reelection effort.
Warren has mostly stayed quiet about the Democratic primary since her withdrawal on March 5. By remaining neutral when the race had narrowed to Biden and her longtime progressive ally Sanders, she angered many parts of the left but also helped Biden clinch the nomination.
Her endorsement video nods to Warren’s past ideological clashes with Biden going back to fights over bankruptcy reform in the early 2000’s.
“Among all the other candidates I competed with in the Democratic primary, there’s no one who I’ve agreed with 100% of the time over the years,” she said. “Joe Biden was there at the very moment I became a senator — he swore me in. And when he did, he said, ‘You gave me hell! And you’re gonna do a great job.'”
As Biden attempts to bring over many progressives who supported Sanders and Warren, the Massachusetts senator also attempted to reassure people on the left who may be skeptical of Biden….
The Democratic senators for Michigan and Wisconsin announced their endorsements for Joe Biden’s presidential bid Wednesday as the former vice president seeks to make inroads in the crucial swing states.
Michigan Sens. Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters and Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin announced their support for Biden, who has all but locked up the 2020 Democratic nomination after Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), his lone remaining primary rival, dropped out and endorsed him.
Both Stabenow and Peters cited Biden’s work in the Obama administration to help bail out the auto industry, which helped the Wolverine State during the recession…

This is great–Trump=Republican and Republican=Trump.
From First Read:
The 12-minute video that Barack Obama released Tuesday was one part endorsement of Biden, another part praising Bernie Sanders, and a third part blasting Trump (though not by name) and the GOP.”
“But what maybe stood out to us the most was how Obama lumped Trump and the GOP together.”
“That’s a significant departure from 2016, when Democrats — including Obama — tried to separate Trump from the GOP at large.”
Getting Better….
Trump & Co. now have a history
With a couple of notable exceptions ,the rest of us,including the missed Zreebs,have been echoing Obama on this for awhile.
Has anyone heard from Zreebs?He just sort of disappeared .I don’t even remember him saying he was departing ,although I might have missed it.Hope he’s ok.
Yeah it’s been my contention for awhile that the supposedly “liberal media” portrayed Trump as somehow separate from the Republican Party. That is a major reason he was able to win some of those Obama/Trump voters, And Obama and others in the Democratic Party were in hindsight naive in their view that Trump was somehow an anomaly in the GOP. He’s not. And they are all now tied at the hip.
I also hope Zreebs is doing well. Somewhere I have an e-mail address. May just drop a line to him just to check in.
I reached out for him a while ago , but No response….
Yea …
I miss the guy along a few other of our regulars that have dropped out of here
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) “will endorse Joe Biden for president, putting to bed any thought that he might not support the Democratic presidential nominee this time around,” Politico reports.
“t’s not a given that Manchin would support Democrats’ presidential platform: He nearly pulled his endorsement from Hillary Clinton in 2016 after she suggested she’d put coal miners out of work, did not support President Barack Obama in 2012 and was recoiling at the thought of Bernie Sanders as Democrats’ nominee this year.”
