Rep. Luis Gutierrez to endorse Hillary Clinton

[DemocratSinceBirth]

WASHINGTON – Rep. Luis Gutierrez D-Ill. will make his backing of Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton official on Monday, delivering an endorsement before she speaks at an immigration conference in Brooklyn, a Clinton aide told the Sun-Times.

Gutierrez, a national leader on immigration reform, will introduce Clinton at the National Immigrant Integration Conference and formally offer the endorsement before her speech.


Gutierrez had made his support for Clinton known earlier. What is noteworthy is that the Clinton campaign is showcasing Gutierrez at a national conference in New York where Gutierrez in a sense will vouch for her immigration policies/

7. Love Gutierrez.

Opposition research was done on him by a member of DU. lol. They cited a right wing investigation from years ago that went no where as their "proof" he was corrupt. They saw this endorsement coming and tried to get ahead of the game. Gutierrez is awesome and one of the biggest allies of the Latino community.

9. What right wing source did I cite?

He's a liar.

[NCTraveler]

10. Where did I say you cited a right wing source?

Let's clear that up first. lol.

[Ned_Devine]

17. I think this is what they're referring to

"They cited a right wing investigation from years ago"

[NCTraveler]

18. Correct. Huge difference in what you said.

Thanks for the clarification. Do you know how the investigations into Gutierrez headed up by a right wing asshole ended?

[Ned_Devine]

19. No, Im not really following this.

I personally don't care who endorses Hillary and I don't think I should get too excited about who endorses Bernie. I just want to do what I can to get him a win in Iowa and NH. You all can bicker amongst yourselves about this that and the other. It's of no interest to me. But I'll admit that for someone not interested in it, I do seem to check here a lot. It's like a car crash on the highway. I know I shouldn't look, but I can't help it.

21. Thanks for the reply.

I must apologize as well. I thought my earlier reply was to Cali. Said poster is very familiar with Rep. Conyers investigation into Gutierrez. The only thing they won't discuss is the ending and what was actually found.

26. Super delegates matter. He is one. nt

[Ned_Devine]

30. Who said they didn't? Where is this response coming from?

[MADem]

31. Gutierrez is one more that is in the Clinton column.

And Sanders has had almost no success in gathering supers to his cause. That IS a problem for him, one his supporters think they can ignore.

He can't win without them, and he hasn't gotten but a few. They're not going to flip, either.

[Ned_Devine]

32. Oh, you talked to the supers? That must have been a cool conversation

For the record, I don't remember wanting to start any dialogue with you about any of this. If you read my post, there was nothing in it that suggested that I wanted to have this conversation with anyone. In fact, it pretty much says the opposite. Do you feel like you need to explain to me the importance of super delegates because we're both from MA? Aside from my telling you in this post that I have nothing to say to you, I really have nothing to say to you. I don't care for your confrontational style.

[MADem]

33. I'll wait until the convention to be proven right.

I'm not confrontational. I don't get personal and I trade in plain, simple facts. That said, we can't all be loved, can we?

[Ned_Devine]

35. Of course we can all be loved :)

8. K & R

11. We're all shocked to learn that the guy who claimed he didn't know if Sanders supports immigrants..

is lining up behind Hillary. Big game changer here.

[Ed Suspicious]

15. lol. +1

[Vattel]

12. Gutierrez supported Rahm Emanuel over Chuy Garcia. Nice parallel I think.

13. Gutierrez Has a Bright Future in the New Democratic Party

Gutierrez does seem to have a bright future with the New Democrats.
