Nina Turner on Rachel...

[Satch59]

Cryptic... Saying going all the way to convention but not sure what the plan is: get their wishes on the platform?? Rachel looks a little puzzled...

[DemonGoddess]

1. She sounded to me like she

trying to "preach to the faithful". I was gagging...

[stopbush]

2. Worst. Surrogate. Ever!

[geek tragedy]

14. Sadly she's probably his best surrogate.

The alternatives:

Tad
Comic Book Dude
Jane
Tim Robbins
Susan Sarandon
Rosario Dawson
Killer Mike
Cornel West

[eastwestdem]

16. With friends like those... nt

[stopbush]

21. Considering the candidate, it's not like it was an easy job.

[Surya Gayatri]

34. Now, there's a list that inspires respect and confidence. [sarc]

More like a "confederacy of dunces".

[underthematrix]

3. I used to admire Nina Turner but I think she got bitter after

she lost SoS.

[ladym55]

11. She had a good position in ODC

Right up there with David Pepper. I don't see her listed there anymore. Have no idea what happened there.

[bluestateguy]

27. Well, she was a terrible candidate

No ability to win votes beyond her base.

[drray23]

4. I found that intriguing too

The most notable thing is that she did not push back when Rachel said senator Sanders can not win the nomination at this point. She used to be a fierce advocate of the "dont count superdelegate" crowd.
I take it as a sign that the more politically savvy Sander's surrogates are starting to enact a course correction to move towards party unity.

[Satch59]

6. Good point about Turner not pushing back...

And being a little less delusional...she's still out there with her aggressive rants.

After she left Rachel said it would benefit the party to make Sanders an integral part of the convention and I agree with that, as long as he doesn't bring his violent supporters there to muck it all up...

[bravenak]

5. I think Nina should just cut out the double talk and campaign lines and just admit it's over

They really act like they represent everybody.

[Cha]

7. "They really act like they represent everybody." I bet they do.. when

nothing could be further.

[bravenak]

8. By the way she was talking you'd think HE won

[Cha]

9. Uh huh.. I don't even have to have seen it to know about that.. they think they have.

He never mentions Hillary's wins.. like they don't exist. BS calls the shots.

They're in an obtuse parallel Universe that's going to come crashing down soon.

[NurseJackie]

10. She drinks a lot of coffee, doesn't she?

[BootinUp]

12. If you are not mad at everything you are not genuine

according to some.

[SaschaHM]

13. As a Hillary supporter, I'm beyond sick of Sanders and his surrogates...

acting as if the 16+ million people who voted for Hillary didn't do it because they felt her policies were better. They want to be decide the platform on which the democratic party runs for the next 4 years after being decisively rejected. I don't want the Sander's tax increases on everyone. I'd prefer to spend more money improving K-12, while increasing college opportunities and funding, but expecting those that can contribute, to contribute. I don't want what amounts to policies written up by a far-left freshman polisci student. I want pragmatic policies that will be sustainable. If I wanted Senator Sanders, I would have voted for him.

[Cha]

18. That's been their attitude from the get-go.. except when BS first stepped in and said

"no negative campaigning".. the ol Trojan horse ploy.. they've been arrogant, disingenuous and gratuitously nasty in their attacks.

And, look where it got them.. 2nd place.

Yeah, Hillary's got this, Nina.

Thanks, Sascha~

[Surya Gayatri]

33. "Arrogant, disingenuous and gratuitously nasty"...ay-yup.

[Cha]

35. Aloha, Surya!

[LiberalFighter]

15. Not sure what the plan is?

Is she the Democratic equivalence of Marlin Stutzman?

[jimw81]

17. she knows she done in politics

[Cha]

19. And, she did it all herself.

[stopbush]

22. Turner was a supporter of Hillary. She made the political calculation

that she would have more exposure as a Sanders endorser, so she switched.

And she was right - with all of Hillary's big-name, high-power supporters, Turner would have been buried down in the third or fourth tier of political surrogates. With Sanders, she was an A-list surrogate.

She rolled the dice and she lost.

You're right - her political career is over.

[jimw81]

31. Sad part

She had a future in party if she stayed on Hillary team. I remembered when Hillary first started her campaign Nina was one first groups of surrogates on tv for her. I wonder what happen to her while on Hillary campaign.

[Surya Gayatri]

32. "Her political career is over..." Is that a promise?

She appears to have one volume level and one tone register--stuck on loud and aggressive.

Can no longer bear to hear her. The content is just a regurgitation of Bern's dead-horse stump speech and the delivery is ear-splitting.

[Tarheel_Dem]

20. Maybe she's trying out for her own show on MSNBC?

[SaschaHM]

23. One ranting Sanders' surrogate is enough.

Let's not give Lawrence O'Donnell any competition or company.

[Tarheel_Dem]

24. I, for one, won't be watching The Nina Show.

[SaschaHM]

25. She might get a job on Fox News. As their requisite "Liberal commentator" so she can bash Hillary..

for 4-8 years.

[Tarheel_Dem]

29. Sounds plausible. They tried out Dennis Kucinich for the same reason after Obama was elected. nt

[Cha]

28. Poor LO'D.. I can't believe he fell for BS.

[bluestateguy]

26. Let her have her temper tantrum

And let what she says go in one ear and out the other. Don't engage her. She'll eventually run out of gas.

[BlueMTexpat]

30. Good advice, IMO! eom
