Now, there's nothing inherently evil about a couple of crones chatting on the phone -- or maybe chattering while limping around their cauldron stirring it. But I find it interesting that somebody who wants desperately to be President is talking with someone else who wanted to be and failed spectacularly -- twice. I doubt Hillary was telling Lizzie how to avoid her mistakes, because Hillary still doesn't think she made any.

Or maybe Chief Gray Beaver was asking Hillary for cookie recipes she could put into the next edition of the Cherokee Cookbook? Somehow I don't think so.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has been speaking to Hillary Clinton behind the scenes throughout her presidential bid, according to sources who spoke with NBC News.

It was widely reported Clinton met with several potential 2020 candidates at the beginning of the year, including former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper (D), Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). However, the failed presidential candidate has been speaking to Warren in recent months,according to sources who spoke to NBC News.

Sources are not sure how many conversations Warren has had with Clinton, and neither has made obvious attempts to make their conversations nor the nature of them known to the general public.

 

NBC News reports:

One source was aware of just one additional call between Warren and Clinton since then. But a person who is close to Clinton said the contact has been substantial enough to merit attention, describing a conversation between the two as seemingly recent because it was "front of mind” for her.

"That has clearly not gone unnoticed, and I think she really appreciates that,” the person close to Clinton said.

It is established both women want President Trump out of the White House, though it is possible that Warren has failed to make her points of contact explicitly known due to the optics, as Clinton – another female who attempted to break the glass ceiling – lost handily to Trump in 2016.

"To the extent that Democratic primary voters fear a repeat scenario in 2020 — and to the extent that she’s competing with Sanders for the votes of progressives — there may be good reason for Warren to keep her distance from Clinton publicly,” NBC News reports. It notes Clinton could be a valuable asset in the event Warren "finds herself battling for delegates and superdelegates” at next year’s Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin– the same state Clinton lost in 2016.

 

Aha! The old "give me your delegates" trick. And since Pocahantas is likely the only woman who'll make the cut, and since the Dems work on the supposition that women have to stick together, Hillary'd have to support her. That is, unless she ends up feeling Warren's too far left and that it's time for Hillary herself to gather up the flying monkeys (the ones who are still alive, anyhow) and mount another candidacy of her own -- for the good of the country, of course.
