esquire.com – Aw, dammit, even though everyone in this shebeen knows where I stand on the fundamental question regarding the future of Senator Professor Warren, I have to admit that this is a shrewd campaign move, and a portentous one, as well.

Clinton and her supporters have touted Warren’s endorsement as the former first lady seeks to unite Democrats after a long primary battle with U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Sanders’ progressive ideas won support, and primaries, all over the country. But Clinton won more delegates in primaries and won the support of most of the party’s superdelegates, emerging this month as the presumptive Democratic nominee.
