Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumBill Press: Media missing the boat on Bernie
Bernie Sanders was the big winner in Alaska, Hawaii and Washington state on March 26, but you could sum up the media coverage in one sentence: Bernie Sanders won three states on Saturday but he didnt make a dent in Hillary Clintons lead among delegates.
Wrong, wrong, wrong. When will the lame-stream media stop merely regurgitating spin from the Clinton campaign and start doing its job?
The truth is, theres something profoundly significant happening in the Democratic primary one might even say theres a political revolution underway and most political reporters are missing it entirely.
Have you noticed? All they talk about is the math. You know the drill. We hear it over and over: Its mathematically impossible for Sanders to catch up. Clinton has an insurmountable lead. He can never win by big enough margins to make a difference. Even if he gets close, superdelegates will deny him the nomination. So he might as well just get out of the way and let Clinton start to focus on November.
Theres only one thing wrong with that theory: Sanders keeps winning, and Clinton keeps losing.

And the addition of those young men & women to the Democratic Party would be quite a prize.
