JHC! trump is a fucking mobster who Cheated..
and got rigged in with Russian help.
wth kind of "accomplishment" is that?!
"Trump took on the Republican establishment, he took on the Democratic establishment, took on the media establishment and he ended up winning the election to become president of the United States. And that is an extraordinary accomplishment. And it talks about perseverance, it talks about very strong political instincts, it talks about a way to connect with people,” Sanders said.

There's that "establishment" again..
Since "establishment" is John Lewis, President Obama, Planned Parenthood.. etc.. and everything good about this country for the past 60 years..
I am a proud member of the establishment and Democracy.
Caucuses aren't Democratic.. so Democracy Wins!

The giant forward steps we have taken in recent years on civil liberties and civil rights and human rights are being met by a ferocious pushback from the oldest and darkest forces in America. Are we really surprised they rose up? Are we really surprised they lashed back? Did we really think they would be extinguished with a whimper rather than a fight?

Calling the former longtime Delaware senator "the best vice president America's ever had" and a "lion of American history," Obama gave his White House partner the surprise award in an emotional ceremony, initially billed as a farewell.
After extolling the job that Biden has done, Obama ended it with the unexpected news that he was giving the vice president the nation's highest civilian honor, with distinction — a designation most recently given to President Ronald Reagan, Pope John Paul II and Gen. Colin Powell.
"To know Joe Biden is to know love without pretense, service without self-regard, and to live life fully," Obama said.

Throughout the ceremony it was evident not just how close the two men were but how close their families and staffs had become, and Obama said his "family is honored to call ourselves honorary Bidens."

Transcript of President Obama's speech..
He fought to make college more affordable and revitalized American manufacturing, as the head of our middle-class taskforce. He suited up for Our Cancer Moonshot and giving hope to millions of Americans touched by this disease.
He led our efforts to combat gun violence. And he rooted out any possible misappropriations that might’ve occurred. And as a consequence, the recovery act worked as well as just about any large- scale stimulus project has ever worked in this country. He visited college after college and made friends with Lady Gaga…
Behind the scenes, Joe’s candid honest council has made me a better president and a better commander in chief. From the Situation Room, to our weekly lunches, to our huddles after everybody else has cleared out of the room, he’s been unafraid to give it to me straight, even if we disagree.
In fact, especially, when we disagree. And all of this makes, in my belief, the finest vice president we have ever seen. And I also think he has been a lion of American history.
The best part is, he’s no where close to finished. In the years ahead as a citizen, he will continue to build on that legacy internationally and domestically. He’s got a voice of vision and reason and optimism and love for people and we’re gonna need that — that spirit and that vision as we continue to try to make our world safer and to make sure that everybody’s got a fair shot in this country.

So all told, that’s a pretty remarkable legacy, an amazing career in public service. It is, as Joe once said, “a big deal.”
Much More..

This isn't the first time Hayes has
been called out for his bias.

Here's your OP from April 5th!
Getting tired of Chris Hayes. His All In account just tweeted a nasty hit piece on Biden

"That's a big fucking deal in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.."
And his strength is drawn from two contrasting bases: older, moderate whites, and African-Americans. Although his share is in the 30s overall, he has a whopping 50 percent share among nonwhite Democrats, according to the latest CNN poll. A Morning Consult poll found him with 43 percent of the black vote, including 47 percent support among African-American women. Biden’s deep association with Obama gives him a lift in the black vote no other white candidate can achieve. And so it turns out that the base of the Democrats has not been swept into the identity cult of the elite, wealthy, white left.
It's so early but..!
He’s also been able to reach non-college-educated white men in ways few other candidates could. That’s a big fucking deal in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin — and if Biden can carry those states, he’ll be the next president
Gracias, highplainsdem!

It would have been so much
better if there weren't those who Lied, and encouraged voters to vote for Liars.. and if those who sat home to teach lessons to Dems, who weren't pure enough(AHC).. were actually able to visualize a bigger picture.

Apparently he doesn't care..
The media makes sure it's plastered all over the place for everyone to see.
He started right after the GE in 2016.. on cnn.. calling our Democratic Party "elite", and how he was "humiliated", making it all about himself.. When more than 1/2 the country was hurting badly.
And, here We are.. still Not "elite"..
