Just saw bernie on meet the press

and todd was practly doing negative attack on behalf of Clinton.

They are trying to divide white and blacks on bringing up he opposes reparations for descendants of slaves.that is all about post NH
trying to turn minorities against bernie.

He tried to bring up bernie's comments in 1988 when he was supporting jesse jackson for president.Bernie pointed out he was about only white elected official to support jackson and remember the supposed racists In vermont if you listen to clinton supporters
In 1988 Democratic caucus with bernie's support voted for Jackson just like they later supported Obama.

On endorsements it is true he doesn't having siting governors or senators supporting bernie.

he did good countering Mccaskill's Bullcrap on electabilty and was good on Bloomberg getting in if it looks like Bernie is winning
the nomination.

I say Bloomberg better get ready to jump in since bernie will win

And asking by the millions...because when the Netverse starts asking over and over, Camp Weathervane and her Puppet Media will drop the topic like a hot pan.

And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this, this is working very well for them.


Hill and Bill were with Barbara on that day. I just found that out, looking up that quote.

Hillary goes back over 10 years to bring up the fact that Bernie voted no on gun legislation of which Bernie Sanders explained why he voted no....(that didn't help Hillary's cause since that issue just didn't fly)

So now they go back 28 years and bring up the fact the Bernie Sanders supported Jesse Jackson.?
Thinking they have something that will discredit Bernie on ? I don't understand.

They have went back 42 years to try and dig up trash on Bernie and nothing there..........

Did Chuck Todd ever once ask about issues? Healtcare? Corporate owned Congress? etc.?

Keep bringing up gun vote.so far dems aren't impressed with the gun attacks.

They bring up bernie saying change comes from outside the democratic party from 1988 yet that says to black voters hey bernie
supported a black candiate In 1988 which no other white public official did.

Jackson was progressive Insurgent camdiate.I turned 14 In 1988 and i remember how people were stunned how well he did.
if people need to remember https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Jackson_presidential_campaign,_1988

Bernie can't be racist if he supported Jesse Jackson for president.

Of course Todd won't talk on Issues.it's trying to play gotcha to help Clinton.

because that's one issue where she can claim to be on bernie's left.however she is flip-flooper on guns if you remember 2008.

Trying to say bernie is eliable vote for NRA Is hogwash since he has a d- rating.

I remember the Annie Oakley times...the Obama days ... wonder if they noticed, or if they just rate guys. Inquiring minds want to know.
