Related: About this forumMorning Joe giving major props to Bernie and talking about rigged DNC primary process
There is another thread that is mischaracterizing Morning Joe's coverage as negative to Bernie Sanders. I have not been watching them and was kind of shocked to see how favorable they actually have been to Bernie.
After the 3 landslide victories in WA, UT and AK last Saturday, Minka is asking how stupid is it that after these victories all every talk show host wanted to ask Bernie was if he would support Hillary after she wins:
Here is a very good discussion from this morning on the crowd Bernie drew yesterday in the South Bronx. (The comment "it smelled like Woodstock" came from the NBC reporter following the Sanders campaign who was there, and was clearly a reference to people smoking pot which is hardly shocking.) Minka is saying that she realizes that Hillary's camp talking about Bernie's tone is a joke because all he's doing is talking about issues.

There is plenty of talk about the enthusiasm over the issues at Bernie's rallies and an "intellectual connection".

You can try to fuck over people, but people know.
Even the big wigs get it. Just like the voters do.
It's become a joke in this primary.
State after state--we witness the Clinton shenanigans.
It's appalling.
I have faith that karma will catch up to her. You can't behave in the way that her campaign has behaved and get away with it. Not if there's any justice in this world.

(84,711 posts)Finally they addressed "Income Inequality" in America and agreed that Bernie is now a candidate to be taken seriously. And, that if something happens with Hillary's server investigation, that there won't be talk of Gore or Biden having to come in at the last minute because Bernie is proving he can win on his own.
Anyway...interesting watch.
