A great thing about today. It's the last day Bernie gets to go on Sunday shows

as viable Democratic primary candidate to trash Hillary and the Democratic party. Even if they have him on next week, it will be as the guy who already lost but can't do math.

Two days until Hillary clinches!

do you draw straws to see who is expected to post what? Or do you simply get an email that says something like "Today it's your turn to go out and be an ass. Make us proud."?

He's got two more days of that. And no more Sundays.

At the very least. When Hillary failed to get the nomination she got a hand out gig from the honorable Barack Obama that allowed her to remain viable in the national political discussion.

It's politics. What you speak of is a different beast which involves contempt and retribution and is most fully realized in the politics of Donald Trump. I reject that way of thinking.

small minded and petty as her supporters I'm sure that's what she would do. Since she seems to be a rational adult working very hard to achieve an electoral victory I'm sure second grade taunting such as you and your ilk suggest will not come to pass.

back to the days of our news covering views from the right to the extreme right.
Hope liberals enjoyed the 8 weeks or so their views were sort of aired by the networks.
Back to invisible.

She's below 60 now - and there are 67 total in PR. Looks like Hillary got 10+ out of 12 in the USVIs.

If Sanders is incapable of reaching viability in Puerto Rico, Hillary becomes our presumptive nominee this evening.
