39. Needs? No. Will Receive? That's My Guess

You seem to be the one questioning her judgment. In no way did I claim that she erred in not endorsing yet. My only point was a prediction (not a guarantee) that she will endorse Bernie and this watershed moment will be a significant factor, not just because Bernie secured 3 high-profile endorsements in 1 day but because these endorsements came from Ayanna's friends and close colleagues.

She is human. That last time I checked, the opinions of friends and family tend to weigh heavier on people than those of strangers on any subject. Ayanna is not demented. I merely point out that she will connect A to B to C and give Bernie due consideration, particularly if Faiz should reach out to her an offer a reciprocal endorsement.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
