The Hill: Clinton allies “could see themselves” joining Team Warren

[Shameless Lefty Hack]

Good to see that Adam Pachinko Machine still has journalists that will talk to him - I'd be worried that he'd be terribly lonely if that weren't the case

2020 will be a re-do.  A democratic socialist non-Democrat vs. a former liberal Republican female elitist with a major phony streak.

It's not just Hillary Clinton I can't stand.  It's that slimy John Podesta.  It's that whiny Jen Palmieri.  It's that snot-nosed Robby Mook.  It's the whole slew of Clintonistas that represent the Democratic Party's morphing into the party of elitist latte faux liberalism where they will drop everything for someone's right to an abortion or their right to trans (regardless of age), but will do nothing to significantly reverse the flow of more and more money to fewer and fewer people.  The avant garde fringe social issues are front and center with these folks, while the needs of working families get lip service.

No, thank you.  That's a faux solution to the problems of working folks.

While I have mixed feelings about Bernie Sanders, I'd love for him to crush Warren at this point, if THIS is the cast of characters she's going to run with.

Warren has her own professional, somewhat insular, staff and inner circle. These are drowning rats looking for another ship. Look at the language used to describe who these people are.

Aside from the one anonymous "Clinton Aide" these are the people that even the Clintons kept at arms' length. Adam Pachinko Machine famously longs for attention that the Clintons never give him. And what, half the quotes in this article are him and the spokesman for his PAC? Grifters and cultists are going to be grifters and cultists, but that tells you more about them than the people they cling to.

I understand disliking Warren's play if you're a cultural conservative, but you have to understand that there's an inside and an outside game for populists in the Democratic party. Warren, because she can play the Northeast Liberal Professor role extraordinarily well, has gotten a ton of access to the elements of the national party that are frightened by Bernie. Heck, she basically extracted wholesale carte blanche on banking policy and staffing decisions from Clinton by the end of the primaries. If playing a latte liberal gets you inside the castle gates...

I believe she's a latte liberal at heart.  A real working class advocate would never have felt the need to push that phony Pocahontas crap.

I mean, have you ever talked to anyone from Oklahoma? Family legends like that exist all the time. That particular thing funnily enough has a lot more to do with her time in OK than in MA.
