6. She's calling him out on the false claim that HRC has asked him to drop out.

She's taking him to task about Sanders' supporters tactics. She did mention Nevada, not abiding by Democratic rules but running as a Democrat.

And she said that HRC was much closer to Obama in 2008 and had a better argument than Sanders for staying in.

And she's concerned that if Sanders continues to run the toxic campaign that he's running, it'll hurt the Democrats in the GE.

Merkley is playing dumb as if he didn't know what Rachel is talking about.

I'm just sick of these people.

Pretty great! That she's covering it all!

I think he is probably taking it in. He is better than all the others in that lot! He is on record as saying that BS should drop out after June 7th and unite the party!

didn't accuse the Democratic Party of being corrupt and say that the primaries were rigged. That is the difference between Sanders and Hillary. Merkley is acting like he is oblivious to what Sanders and his out of control violent supporters have been doing. Yeah, Merkley...Sunshine, lollipops, and unicorns farting rainbows. Not.

where everyone was basically asking what Sanders is even doing. Said this entire thing is his fault for giving false hope, and that he has to come out and tell his supporters, "we tried, we lost, fair and square."

Also, earlier, Rachel put up graphics and made a big deal of pointing out that Hillary has 94% of the delegates she needs, while Trump has 92%. The only difference is that Sanders won't drop out. That's why Trump is the presumptive nominee and she isn't.

That she has 94% to his 92% and many more millions of votes. Maybe **HE** should be the one who needs to drop out! HA!
