Rachel Maddow to Bernie: "Please Come Back Soon, It's Been Too Long, Sir"

[tomm2thumbs]

Seems like Bernie learned a lot from Hillary Clinton on the Super Delegates (see clip below)

* if the clips get removed, will try to find alternates, but putting this up for now

1. Trump a "pathological liar" LOL

so true

2. Her lack of sincerity was apparent.

I haven't watched that channel in a long while and even sent them all an email to voice my disappointment with the entire lot. Bernie was in Flagstaff during the interview and he is so much smarter than all of them--he does not allow them to trick or trap him.

3. Absolutely, watching Bernie's skill with pundits is a work of art, and effortless. His

brainpower, quickness and perspective are quite impressive. Nerves of steel too and does not succumb to pressure.

4. TY

IMO... Rachel Maddow = Howard Dean. Money & ME before Democracy. She seemed to lean Sanders at the beginning, then something change. From Air-America to COMCAST/NBC UNIVERSAL. Hillary Clinton GLBT rights 2013'... go figure.

5. I would say the same about Chris Hayes to some extent.

They all saw what happened to their colleague, Ed Schultz, for openly supporting Bernie.
They know what to say and what not to say on MSNBC.

9. Yes, I miss Olbermann, Schultz and Dylan Radian. If you don't tow the

corporate line you are ousted. Saw an interview with Radigan and he was not shy about why he was 'let go'. He is at home with his family and doing well and happy to be away from it all.
We need real journalists and the end of corporate control of OUR airwaves. Bill Clinton killed everything with the Telecommunications Act. I am afraid of net neutrality becuase that is their next step.

13. 1996 Telecommunications Act has done wonders for the Clintons and their 3rd-way cronies.

And it's not just the giant conglomerate media.
The Clintons have been profiting off of NAFTA and Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. That's how you become the richest former president -by selling voters down the river before you get out of the WH.
Obama's doing the same thing with TPP. He got elected twice with the help of donors (or shall we say, the "buying class&quot . He's gotta pay them back before the end of this terms. Then he's gonna get handsome reward afterwards, running speech circuits and sham charity organization. It's time people faced up to that fact. It's all about them. It's really not about corrupted airwaves or jobs sent overseas or looming financial crisis. It's all about them.

6. Thank you this was great. Bernie is principled, honest and true.

7. Nobody at DU wants to address the elephant in the room

Which is, that it is quite likely that as soon as the Dems lock in on Hillary, there will be serious legal proceedings launched against her, and this could seriously damage her ability to close the deal. I know Hillary's supporters wish to dismiss the email issues as petty partisan bickering. But it does see that was, at best, extremely poor judgment on her part, and at worst, the basis for a prosecution. Whether the GOP has an angle to carry that off, I don't know. But we surely ought to at least consider the possibility that she could be a seriously wounded candidate by this fall.

And it isn't as if Sanders would get a free ride. He would be branded a communist by the right wing machine. But as far as I know, there aren't any criminal charges brewing with him.

8. the puppet masters don't believe votes cast for Bernie are legitimate votes

it flows from DWS down in the DNC and from the Senate to the House in general, throughout main stream corporate-owned media and the press. You see it at every turn. The longer Bernie stays in the race, the better an insurance policy Democrats have against the issue you raise. They figure the sooner they can get him to leave, the more likely if something DID come up, they would try to throw the election to another insider who would play the same corporate games as their usual players.

I'm planning on throwing money Bernie's way as long as he needs it and it is good insurance as far as I am concerned. We have seen Hillary have her messaging breakdowns in the past, spouting 'Karl Rove tactics', 'they can't win the General Election', and 'assassination' into the Democratic primary dialogue, just to name a few, and she has consistently been looked upon as untrustworthy.... even in Democratic-only polls currently.

10. Good on you..

I got tapped out earlier in the week, donated to his campaign I think three days in a row, and twice in one day. that was before Tuesday I think. should have spread it out a bit but will have to wait until cash flow kicks in again. I tried to phone banking but not tech savvy enough to do that on the computer. Doing a meet up on Saturday with local supporters. see what the game plan will look like.

But I like the strategy of keeping him in the game for exactly the reasons you outlined. This is the thing I don't get why her supporters and the party elite for that matter, don't seem to be considering. It's actually quite weird if you think about it. It almost begs the question: Why would they want Trump to win?

scratching head over their strategy. maybe that's it, though dunno.

11. Spot On Tomm. eom

[2banon]

12. I hear ya. see my post #10

begging the question, why would they want to almost guarantee a Trump victory?

[Sky Masterson]

14. I loved the part where when it was over she invited Chris on

to dissect an answer Bernie gave that she pretty much knew he would about staying in until the convention.
I love Rachel and I am very put off by her right now.
We get it. You prefer Hillary.
