2. It wasn't much of a win to begin with. But yeah, the riot in Vegas is capturing all the news.

3. I think he's doing the "no publicity is bad publicity" thing now...

so I'm not sure it overshadows. He apparently thinks it enhances.

4. It wasn't a "big" win at all.

He ended yesterday less likely to get the nomination than he started it. Too little, too late.

16. You're right, it wasn't a "big" win. He was supposed to beat her by 20 points and instead

he barely eeked out 6, although a win is still a win. It's just that Bernie has become prone to exaggerations and it's nice when he gets brought down a notch or two, back to reality.

I'll be glad when our primary here is California is over. Plan on mischief by the Repubs since California's Democratic Primary might as well be an Open Primary. We have a category called NPP or No Party Preference, which means that as a NPP you can vote for any candidate regardless of Party. Although the Repugs choose to make their primary a Closed Primary, so no one can screw with theirs. If the DNC was rigged as Bernie claims, then California DNC would have made their primary closed as well, like the GOP did.

12. MSM has been keeping Bernie propped up for months

The longer he keeps getting donations that get funneled to the hated corporate media to buy airtime the better they like it. For ratings, they have tried to portray this as being close-it's been over for months. It's better for ratings to have what looks like a horserace.

All talk of the primaries are just TV drama at this point.

10. That would depend on where you are getting your news from.

I try to watch a smattering of all. If weighed equally, I think the blame on the DNC and a few radicals comes out for the DNC. But, as I said, depends on what you watch, and if you are more prone to believe authority versus make up your own mind with the best tools available.

I haven't listened to much other than his Oregon victory speech, but then again I don't get my marching orders from "correct the record"

15. His 4 delegate net?

Yes, the Hillary Camp launched a massive conspiracy to deflect from Bernie's massive 4 delegate net.

Good Lord.
