Maddow Show: Clinton helped Brown win Governorship - Brown endorses Clinton

[Skwmom]

Wow, what a surprise.

[woolldog]

1. The Clintons have helped tons of other democrats get elected

raised money for tons of Dems. You can't be shocked that that's paying dividends. Maybe Bernie shouldve been helping other Dems as well during his time in the Senate?

[senz]

17. Bernie regularly campaigned for Dems. Including Barack Obama.

[onehandle]

2. Liberals fighting together against Donald Trump.

Wow, what a surprise.

[Dem2]

3. Those horrible Democrats actually help each other!

The horror!

[Starry Messenger]

4. What is the point of this?

Of course she did. Did you think she'd campaign for Kashkari?

The GOP only makes up 30% of voters in CA--a proportion other states could only dream of.

[Number23]

12. OPs like this really, REALLY put all of this shit in perspective and explain alot, don't they?

[Starry Messenger]

15. It's baffling. The quid pro quo is that a Democrat wins, and that is bad why?

I find the CA bashing puzzling--is there some 51st libertopia state that is hiding somewhere?

We have the highest rate of unionization in the US, and pass measures that get adopted by other states. Sure, we have lots to improve but none would be fixed with a Repuke in the mansion.

[Trust Buster]

5. Why couldn't she attack other Democrats like Sanders ? Oh, the outrage......LOL

[Stallion]

6. HaHa! Fail.

I suppose it would have been better that Democrats lost their 6th out 7th Presidential race. This isn't a big shock to many of us. The only Democrats who don't support the Presidential nominee probably shouldn't consider themselves Democrats any more. They all do except guys like Nader who is no longer considered a Democrat. Name the last Democratic candidate for President who didn't support the Democratic nominee

[CrowCityDem]

7. Helping each other is what politics is all about. Bernie should learn that.

[senz]

18. Bernie has campaigned for Dems as they have for him.

[Trenzalore]

8. Most people don't understand

Most of that party support that Hillary Clinton has is based on years of supporting other democrats. You are probably more likely to endorse the person who showed up at your event or fundraiser to help you than someone else. That is part of the reason someone does it.

[Agschmid]

9. Democrats helping democrats, God forbid.

[LuvLoogie]

10. THIS is why phoning it in to a weekly radio show--preaching to the choir with the same answers

to every question, from your pastoral cloister--ain't going to cut it on a national scale. You've got to show up on a consistent basis over time.

The reason more people know and support Hillary, is that she get's to know more people and supports them in their endeavors.

[JoePhilly]

11. Dems help Dems sparky!

[eastwestdem]

13. The take away point is that party loyalty beats just about anything else.

I don't think Sanders has ever understood that.

[CorkySt.Clair]

14. Wait, you mean...they...are...politicians playing politics?1!

[TSIAS]

16. The show was actually decent tonight

It was somewhat balanced without Rachel Maddow hosting. Kornacki did an entire segment basically calling the Clinton people hypocrites and detailing how they acted back in 2008.

The point of the Brown endorsement is that Jerry Brown hates the Clintons, and vice versa, but Brown needed Bill back in 2010 and now he returned the favor.

19. Bill Clinton went to Sacramento last week for a long meeting with Jerry Brown.

They discussed the primary among other things.
