Rachel Maddow. My rant continues....
Last week when I caught a couple of her shows one of the things she ranted about was how devastating it would for Bernie to lose Massachusetts because it is a white, liberal state that borders with his state of Vermont.
I have heard that Rachel is a Rhodes scholar. I would think a Rhodes scholar would know that the Senator from NY's state also borders Mass. So if this is the case, wouldn't it be just as devastating for Hillary to lose Mass? 
------------------------------- And then there is this..... Rachel has been whining http://www.politicususa.com/2016/02/28/respected-liberal-journalists-issue-important-warning-democrats.html This article, fluff piece, piece of crap that was written by someone named rmuse, whose twitter page is nothing more than an attack on Bernie & the repugs, actually lumps Capehart & Maddow for their concerns. Of course! Capehart spews vitriol, what else would we expect... But Rachel is still pointing fingers at Bernie supporters for the Dems lower turnout- She said that “the rhetoric of a mass movement on the Democratic side and the lack of voter enthusiasm is not a good thing for the Democratic Party this year. In the case of Clinton v Sanders, this is probative (establishes proof of her point).”
Oh Rachel, this is a democracy and we have every right to want to change the way things are. When else other than a Presidential election will our voices be heard? Please stop pointing fingers at those of us that have had ENOUGH! 
Count me in as someone that has had it with the propaganda of today's mainstream media.

Now I regard her as just another corporate sell out who will spew M$M talking points for the almighty dollar.
I hate the way she lectures and speaks down to her viewers as if they are incapable of forming their own opinions without her incredibly insightful guidance and input. 
I'll never watch her again.  |

We consider our borders to be tri- state. We're the NY-NJ-CT section of the country.
Mass and Vermont, Maine, Rhode Island, New Hampshire even parts of Northern Connecticut, we call that New England and it's really seen as a separate grouping. Just saying...  |

31. Wow, that's kind of a terse response
|
Wasn't bragging about anything, I was just mentioning that in this area - the area the Clintons have called home for the past 16 years - we go by the nickname The Tri State Area. Further, around here, we call everything from around Norwalk and up "New England". But I notice now the group name, I'll leave you be.
Have a good evening.

...maybe that post was a little obscure. What I was trying to say was it seemed silly to me that Rachael who's very high profile -- Hillary? needs to post in a group that calls itself "underground." I mean, "subversive" was supposed to be funny
