Warren: Live On Saturday Still No Endorsement in Sight

Sen. Elizabeth Warren appeared on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live”  two days after suspending her Presidential campaign.

Warren joked that she was proud of the coalition she’d built, comprising, she said, of teachers, preschool teachers, middle-school teachers, and teachers’ pets. She also boasted about  “having given a billionaire ‘a swirly’ on live TV,” about her aggressive performance during the Nevada and South Carolina debates where she viciously confronted Michael Bloomberg about his record of sexual harassment, racist policies, etc.
Many credit Warren for the demise of the Bloomberg campaign and the devastating losses that Bloomberg incurred on Super Tuesday.

Warren has still not revealed whether she will endorse Sen. Sanders or Joe Biden, the former vice president, if either. That was also fodder for a punch line on “SNL”: Maybe, she said, she’d “pull a New York Times” and endorse both. The Times, rather infamously, endorsed both Warren and Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota for the Democratic nomination in January and had to face the wrath of the Twitterati who considered it a cop-out.

The reception to Warren’s appearance on the cultural institution that is Saturday Night Live was mostly mixed. It boosted the morals of her disheartened supporters who were hoping to see Warren as the first female president of the country.

But She has also received a significant amount of flak from Sander’s supporters online who feel that Warren’s time would be better utilized if she spent it endorsing and promoting the Sanders campaign and uniting the progressive wing of the party.

However, it’s great to see Warren so soon after she dropped out of the race, humble and apparently without ire; happy to tell jokes at her expense but still holding on to her exceedingly precious endorsement from the two remaining frontrunners in the race.
