(6,699 posts)He explains it all without getting all worked up and sucked into the trap that the media lays out for their guests. Did this little bald weasel even hear what he said ? I think not.
Nice job once again, Cenk.

(8,175 posts)are being so stubborn about not accepting the truth of the superdelegates and how they are supposed to be used. It's just frustrating.
Thank you Cenk for speaking up to truth.

(1,539 posts)they will call the raise for Hillary at 5 pm on Tuesday, they really are calling it now. Likely trying to prevent a major win for Bernie in CA

(35,619 posts)My position: The media should call it when a candidate has a majority of Pledged Delegates.
Brian Stelter seems to want to call the election based on what Super Delegates have said, and Cenk Uygur seems to want the media to wait until the convention.

And because they used what some Fox Snooze judge said on their show, which was true by the way. about what could be occurring at the FBI.. Horrors huh?
Great job by Cenk in telling it like it is not like how they would like it to be......

(5,198 posts)if it was 'decided' before it even started. These people are simply delusional if they think they can just select another candidate without going through the full process.
We have been hearing 'just drop out' since JANUARY because there are people who do not respect the democratic process. Depending upon hackable machine results and contested state results and just IGNORING election fraud as if it never happened would do further damage to our democracy, perhaps they want to kill it entirely.

(2,348 posts)He's become a fanatic for Bernie, and doesn't practice the 'journalism' he espouses anymore. A real journalist wouldn't give warm up speeches for a candidate.

(6,965 posts)But then he/crew get angry at anyone whose passionate (Which I am) about Hillary, which is hypocritical.
Then again, it's not like I watch he and his crew that much anymore on Youtube
