This just in : According to ABC, Hillary won, her corporate script is complete.
O'Malley will be in his "Attack Dog" mode by attacking Bernie Sanders and submitting his full resume to Hillary for the position of VP.
Hillary will be in her copy cat mode again on the main issues but her debate script does not allow her to talk about Banks,minimum wage, enforcing Wall St or Banking regulations. She won't talk much about Citizens United (it's a no,no not in the script)
Karl Rove will be in attendance and will answer post debate questions about his "Swift Boat" guidance against Bernie Sanders while working with the Clinton campaign.

(94,598 posts)And Clinton DOESN'T had a commanding lead in superdelegates?
Is the idea of "news" to report on things that happen but only if they're good for Sanders?
Todays_Illusion
(1,209 posts)and that looks like a big attempt to influence what you see and hear in the debates.
And there will be very little if any polling reports. Have you noticed how there is very little mention of polling after the Republican debates of just a few days ago, not the usual big noisy discussion about who won, who is up, who is down.
You are going to vote for who you are told to vote for by the propaganda. You are in compliance because the fact is Hillary is not going to do anything to harm big business and the anti-people anti-democratic ideas in play against the people of this nation.

(94,598 posts)I'm going to vote for Hillary Clinton because I'm an informed voter who 1) has known her since she was my Senator, 2) is a campaign funder for Democratic candidates, requiring me to do in-depth analysis of their positions and electability, and 3) who believes in mainstream Democratic principles, which Clinton does as well.
Just a suggestion: this "you're too stupid and uninformed to know who to vote for" message is going to have limited success. Maybe that's why Bernie's not using it.

(1,209 posts)again Hillary is the only candidate the Democratic have and if you are a liberal Democratic she is not much of a candidate. However, you believe and you claim you are not influenced by the media.
I disagree with you. I say you are a perfect example of choosing the candidate you have been told to choose.
brooklynite
(94,598 posts)...I have direct contact with the candidates (including Bernie), DNC, DSCC, DCCC, DGA, etc. I also collect and crunch a lot of hard data about where candidates stand and how they're doing.
As another thread discussed, try accepting that intelligent Democrats actually CAN come to the decision the Hillary Clinton is their preferred candidate.
