"Let's hit the democrats. Bernie sanders, martin O'Malley. You talked about the person we always talk about, Donald Trump. Let's talk about the person we never talk about but we just heard from, Bernie sanders has incredible momentum. An almost media blackout. He's almost never the subject of the main conversation, but out in the country, you see a lot of Bernie sanders support, he got more contributions, individual donors, than any other in America history. I think he's going to win Iowa, he may win New Hampshire -- This man is not afraid to make -- Listen, I love Hillary Clinton, she'll be our nominee. But there is something happening in our party. The authenticity of Bernie sanders and the popularity of his agenda."

Interesting analysis.

[Proserpina]

1. So...the MSM is rethinking? Well, it's a start

a CYA type of movement, however tentative....

[reformist2]

2. I love how they have to utter a loyalty oath to HRC/DNC before saying something good about Bernie.

Bernie is obviously on the move, and could possibly upset the establishment's apple cart just like Obama did.

But before I go, I had better say the magic words: "I love Hillary Clinton, she'll be our nominee."

LOL

9. Well, mustn't anger the Queen

or it will be "off with his head!"

[swilton]

12. +++++++++++++++

I also caught that and I also give him credit for recognizing the lack of coverage Sanders is getting.

[Plucketeer]

16. It's truly disgusting

the way he's being ignored. Can you IMAGINE if they treated the queen that way??? OF COURSE..... Queenie's "in the loop" and they have that - wink, wink - agreement with her and her curly-topped manager.

I started the New Year off by sending Bernie's operation another C-note. Won't be our last such either. FEEL the BERN!

[reformist2]

19. 'Her curly-topped manager' made me LOL!

Thanks for that.

[Red Mountain]

11. The Republicans might be......

but the Democrats are not. 'Splintering' implies a lot that I do see happening on the other side that I don't see happening on ours.

For instance, if the Democrats held the House would our leadership be able to advance their agenda without facing constant rebellion?

Hell yes, it would.

If only.

[CoffeeCat]

4. OMG do they all have to include the standard line??

You can tell these people are dying to say something--and they do. But they always have to throw in, "But she'll be our nominee!".

OMG...too funny.

Don't want to upset the corporate-owned media who is for Hillary.

Never mind them. Bernie will continue to win state after state and after state, and they can have the MSM and their talking points and whatever outdated trappings they like.

Bernie has "We The People", and I'd rather have that any day.*

*OH! BUT HILLARY IS GREAT TOO AND WILL PROBABLY BE OUR NOMINEE!!! FOR SURE!! REALLY!!!

[INdemo]

6. Think about the Contributions Bernie will get with an Iowa win

it would be really tough to estimate.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

15. He could haved saved a bunch of words by using the old stand-by...

You, know I love Bernie, but he can't win in the general.

[wendylaroux]

17. ah yes,love the Berniebutts

quite a few of them.

[INdemo]

5. Well if one takes a look at Bernie Sanders momentum now in

Nevada and SC,a win in Iowa and NH will force the Media to talk about him and more free air time for Bernie.
The momentum push from those two wins could certainly propel him into to a great showing on Super Tuesday.
(And Bernie is not sharing office space with the DNC in Nevada as Hillary is doing)

Just think what an Iowa win will do for Bernie's Campaign contributions..will be huge.

14. I am watching the next debate

At his Reno office. Can't wait! A bunch of us up here in Humboldt are canvassing MLK weekend in Reno.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

20. Wouldn't it be weird if Berine won and the media ignored it?

[pnwmom]

7. Who is Van Jones?

[Dragonfli]

10. You really don't know? OK many people haven't followed Obama, Civil Rights or environment issues

18. I also did not know the name or who he is.

Thank you for the bio.

[Punkingal]

8. I saw that this morning...couldn't remember his name.

At the end of course, he had to say "But of course Hillary will be our nominee." I almost felt sorry for him....he seemed excited about Bernie, then had to douse himself with cold water.

[INdemo]

13. Bernie Sanders can win

[Bernin]

21. So

the MSM keeps telling us that HRC is the leader.
Kind of funny; I remember the MSM telling us that Eric Cantor was a shoe in...

[Chemisse]
