With Hillary it's an opportunity; it's dog whistle. It's "Trump," it's "news," it's a chance to act all horrified and outraged to impress people who need a show of manufactured outrage. Bernie's not going to jump through the hoop of the latest headline.

He has a serious message that people need to hear.


Bernie doesn't waver on choice. Hillary does.

That should matter to you.

He's trying to break a 35 year media embargo on any glimpse of the reality behind the curtain of wealth and power.

It gets a little monotonous to those who follow it, but to a lot of Americans this is the first time they are hearing any honesty about actual reality.

A lot of people in this country are weeping, but not for the reason you seem to use. They are sick and tired of a campaign finance system that is corporate based that backs nothing but favored poll trending and lack of transparency.

They are tired of their elected leaders lying to them. That's worth noting.

Tad Devine should not have opened the door on that with his stupid attempted spin about Bernie losing a bunch of states where he didn't try to compete. Bernie did what he could to minimize those comments without throwing Devine under the bus.

with any sort of professional analysis? Well, their playground behavior certainly plays with some of you. We'll never have our democracy back until the adult children finally grow up. I wonder what that is going to take? I've not heard one single good issue-oriented reason on this blog to vote for Hillary. Somebody from Texas proud of the fact she can't name a single source beyond MSNBC but thinks she's well informed. Others who smirk and trivialize everything. The microcosm I read here is really, really sad.

Looks like Bernie has NO CHANCE to win enough delegates in major primaries because there is too little turn out supporting his REVOLUTION!!

Bernie does well with the Archie Bunker crowd and the young people who DO NOT VOTE (but they love to go to rallies). Bernie simply can't get traction with Democrats, because he isn't a Democrat, so he resorts to parlor tricks, but the press is catching on and calling him out!

There are lot of people even in this community who support voting against their own self interest. I stopped watching cable long ago and I am just as informed on news if not more than I was before.

We need to stop rewarding corporations for the garbage they put out. Same goes for politicians owned by these same corporations. Don't vote for people pretending to be progressive.

Every few minutes they switch the tanks they’re in, one moment for Sanders, the next for Clinton, the next for the rightwingevilcorporatemediaoverlords. They’re in the bus, then they’re under it, then they’re driving the thing.

Same goes for the viewers: they’re stupid for watching or not watching, should know better, in and out from under the bus.

Seriously, who can keep up?! With all the people we have who know absolutely everything there is to know about everything, why haven’t they fixed it so we can all think the same thing at all times in every circumstance, hmmm?
