This makes no sense. Liberal news outlets are slamming on Bernie and shutting out Bernie's clear smack down to Hillary's claim that she is the nominee, but The Blaze of all places is given Bernie the press coverage he deserves, and correctly noting how Bernie is the far stronger general election candidate compared to Hillary. Did The Blaze become progressive all of a sudden?

But Sanders spokesman Michael Briggs predictably disagreed with Clinton, citing Sanders recent primary victories in Indiana, Oregon and West Virginia.
We expect voters in the remaining eight contests will also disagree, Briggs said in a statement Thursday evening. And with almost every national and state poll showing Sen. Sanders doing much, much better than Secretary Clinton against Donald Trump, it is clear that millions of Americans have growing doubts about the Clinton campaign.
Polling data shows Briggs isnt wrong when it comes to a matchup between either of the Democratic candidates and presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump.
Real Clear Politics aggregated polling data shows Sanders is polling 11.4 percentage points higher than Trump. In comparison, Clinton is only polling 3.3 percent higher than the real estate tycoon.

No reason to keep beating that dead horse.
Of course the Blaze wants to keep it going.

(325 posts)Makes it good strategy for the right-wing to be pro-Bernie. It's the same reason why Trump points out that Democrats have been nasty to Bernie. They're doing it to make it harder to unite.
Also, don't read the Blaze

(6,682 posts)for Democratic Underground when it gives opinion about our primary? Fuck them!
Would it be your guess, as it is mine, that they are shit-stirring against the likely democratic nominee? Do you believe, as I do, that this crap doesn't belong on DU because they have zero credibility when it comes to our democratic primary?
I am sickened and saddened that there are people here that post articles and opinions from right wing sources just because they slam Clinton. And I'm just as sickened and saddened that these shitty, non-credible sources are allowed on this website.
Do you feel like the blaze should be quoted as a reliable source on DU re: our primary?
