Why is Hartmann being a bit dismissive of Bernie?

[Duckfan]

He just made comment implying Bernie won't get nomination because he's behind in delegates.

1. I'm listening & I didn't hear that.

He said the superdelegates are being counted by the networks, which is disingenuous.

2. I think he is so worried about the circular firing squad effect that he is over compensating. He and

Stephanie have been in this mode for a few weeks.

I understand that they have a broad audience. But I don't agree with pretending that both sides are always equal. For example, that incident with Billary blocking the voting precinct in Massachusetts is bullshit and should be called out. The "there are two sides to every story" shit is what the M$M did for every hair-brained cockamamie statement made by right wing tea baggers, and look how good that has worked out. All sides are not equal. I don't agree with the policy.

3. Hartmann is playing both sides of the coin. We know he's in for Bernie, they are friends.

But he doesn't want to seem biased on his program(s) and piss off Clinton supporters. I get tired of people saying well they're both great candidates for ''our" side and either one will make a great President. However, we know Hillary is attached at the hip to the DLC establishment which includes Wall Street. I think the only talking head out there who will really sock it to her (Hillary of course) is Mike Malloy, who by the way, has gone to online programs, so I believe.

4. I don't think Thom is trying to hedge his bet...but he is so afraid of the party having a

November meltdown that he is becoming more and more 'inclusive' in his outlook and comments...

A lot of people start getting cool feet as the battle gets fiercer and the outcome closer...he has always been a strong supporter of Bernie but, in my opinion, Thom doesn't really trust the system to correct itself even if we end up with a fucking Trump...

I don't think he likes to visualize the chaos that might come, is probably needed, and the uncertain future that it would bring...

so what is the alternative?...to go another 4, 8, ? years of the 1-10% raping and pillaging our social fabric...

maybe it's time for the 90% to start pushing back...HARD...

it won't be pretty, but it isn't too damn pretty right now, anyway...

I listen to him every day and I really don't think he vacillates, but he does seem to soften his points somewhat lately...
