MSNBC: "Sanders campaign leaves without press corps."

[CorkySt.Clair]

"This is the first time they've done that." Reports Andrea Mitchell.

1. Pouting? Sore loser? nt

[DesertRat]

2. Going to look for the taxes? nt

[Chasstev365]

32. Until Hillary releases her transcripts

You're in no position to talk about releasing tax returns. Your hipocracy is unbelievable!

[DesertRat]

39. There is a precedent for all candidates to release tax returns

NOT speech transcripts. The two have nothing to do with each other.

[Chasstev365]

42. Keep telling yourself that!

[metroins]

3. Put yourself in his shoes

I'd want to be alone as well.

No reason to beat him when he's down.

[LisaM]

4. I agree with you.

I dearly wanted HIllary to win but this is sobering.

[brooklynite]

6. But he's lost States before...since he promises to stay in, why is this different?

[Adrahil]

11. I think maybe his interanls suggested a closer race.

He's beenpredicting a win, or at least a close race. He took it on the chin tonight.

[Corporate666]

17. He believed his own hype

and the cold harsh train of reality came and smacked him in the face.

Deep down inside, Bernie knows he can't win. His last chance was a Michigan-like upset in NY. Deep down, he knew it wasn't going to happen... but desperately wanted it to happen. But... it didn't.

[metroins]

13. This was a big big loss

It essentially ended any slim chance he had.

Also he'd been putting out that they'd do well for weeks.

He's going to have to change his campaign goals, if I were him, I'd stop soliciting donations. I would feel bad taking money from people when he will not win.

This loss must hurt a lot.

[krawhitham]

22. But that is what they are best at, beating someone when they are down

[femmedem]

5. Probably wanted to regroup in privacy.

Not the same as being a sore loser. I think I sense a sore winner in the vicinity, though.

[DCBob]

7. I think they were shocked by how big this loss was.

This might be the end.

[uponit7771]

8. Did they at least congradulate her? Also, Ted Devine on MSNBC is sounding like a used car salesman..

... no specifics at all.

Cornaike is asking about delegates he's just pointing to states

[George II]

12. That's Jeff Weaver, and he's in MAJOR denial! Now they're going on about superdelegates, and...

...he's making up all sorts of excuses.

[Bobbie Jo]

18. What the hell was that crap he was just

peddling on MSNBC??

[bettyellen]

35. The look on Steve Kornaki's face was priceless....

[CoffeeCat]

9. I bet he's wondering why the exit polls showed Hillary winning by 4 percent

and the final result was Hillary by 16 percent.

It is incredibly bizarre.

[Godhumor]

20. The exit polls were just wrong for the first wave and underestimated non-white voting tremendously

No mystery.

[CoffeeCat]

21. I would really know how you arrive at those conclusions

Because, believe me, I don't like feeling that this is not a legitimate win or that something untoward happened.

I could handle a 15, 20 point loss--if the exit polling was close to the actual result. Bernie had plenty of losses, much bigger than this, and either the exit polls or the expectation fit with the result.

This does not. Something seems off.

Exit polls, 4 percent. Loss 15 points.

[Godhumor]

23. Exit polls are continuously recalibrated through out the race

And are intended for demographic analysis after the race, not to be used as the end all or be all when first reported. I'll start a new thread with the recalibrated exit poll so you can see how much it has moved since 9:00.

[CoffeeCat]

26. Thank you. (nt)

[Godhumor]

31. NP and It is up n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

34. They have been wrong starting in 2000

don't kid yourself.

[gollygee]

36. The exit polls for Michigan were wrong too

There's obviously a problem with how polls are conducted with 2016 technology and communication styles.

[CoffeeCat]

38. I never saw any exit polls for Michigan

I know the pre-primary polls were way off.

[George II]

10. I just saw that, and she followed up with "it's over", very emphatically.

[CorkySt.Clair]

14. Weaver is on now

He looks broken. Body language says he knows it's over but still spinning away about flipping delegates etc. somber.

[George II]

15. Once the Sanders campaign gravy train grinds to a halt, he'll be flipping burgers.

[CorkySt.Clair]

19. On his yacht paid for $27 at a time.

[R B Garr]

16. He got some looks from Rachel and Brian Williams after that.

They know how nasty and unrealistic that sounded.

[CoffeeCat]

24. I think they're probably broken because their own internal polling

showed a very tight race. Bernie said tonight, while he was in PA--that his campaign was going to do well tonight in NY.

Then, the exit polls showed Hillary winning by 4.

Then, we see an end results that looks like a 15 point loss.

I think they realize that some kind of cheating happened.

I'd be upset too.

[CorkySt.Clair]

25. ...

[CoffeeCat]

28. Yes, I see your overwhelming empathy

and concern for the legitimacy of our election process.

Nice violin.

[COLGATE4]

41. I haven't seen any indication that the legitimacy

of our election process was damaged. Oh - I see. You mean because Bernie lost.

[oldandhappy]

27. everyone needs to do laundry

smile

[DemocracyDirect]

29. One night without the press corps would be well deserved.

Get off of it.

Sore winners.

[Trust Buster]

30. He might as well get used to a lot less press coverage.

[Maru Kitteh]

33. Well. It's time.

How long do you keep taking kids lunch money when your real work at this point is done? I'm glad he was in it. I really am. It made her stronger, and I respect him for that. But it's really done now. Overdone, in fact.

[timlot]

37. Lol, Got a visualization...

Of college kids skipping meals to send their $27 in for Bernie. "Gotta support the Revolution man".

[CoffeeCat]

40. Nice. Bernie supporters appreciate your empathy and sensitivity right now. (nt)

[COLGATE4]

44. About the same empathy and sympathy extended to Hillary

when Bernie won his caucuses. You can't have it both ways.

[CoffeeCat]

46. That's very true (nt)

[COLGATE4]

43. Yep. All four of them. nt

[Maru Kitteh]

45. I forgot to rec this so R &

[Maru Kitteh]

47. Any word on this today?
