STFU Nina Turner

I swear she just cannot accept that the Republicans are imploding and just MUST MUST MUST find a way to attack the Democratic party and show her bitterness. I just watched her name drop wikileaks and act like Hillary and Co's emails are devastating. I wish they'd stop asking her to come on.

Stop. Please.

But I've seen a lot on this site of "INSERT PUNDIT OR SURROGATE'S NAME HERE" threads that just report a quote or otherwise that have NO other substantive quality.

My two cents.

Oh, and yeah...meh.

Her political career is over and while she is passionate and can give one hell of a barn burner, she doesn't endear anyone new to her causes when she's on the offensive. I think she is on the board of "Our Revolution".

She picked the wrong candidate in the primary and is now on her way to the has been dust bin along with Susan Sarandon and Rosario Dawson.

Too bad. She should be smart enough to not join in with the repugs and Wikileaks and Putin and Trump in attacking Hillary on emails. I mean there were 12 effing hearings and an FBI investigation that turned up nothing but "she was careless" so come on, Nina, I thought you were smarter than that.

Don't side with the dark side.

Meanwhile, we're steeped in this historical moment and loving, right?

As the old saying goes, she'd cut off her nose to spite her face. The country is in a moment of existential peril, and all she can think of is being petty to Hillary and trying to bring her down. The woman needs to grow the hell up.

If you are talking about the Brain Williams show she showed her support for Hillary and praised Bernie Sanders for being a part of Hillary's campaign surrogates along with Biden,Obama and Gore

As for as the emails that were hacked she mention the Russians and Williams would not go there and went to a commercial.

It's probably dawned on them that the election is as we've always said it would be, and that their looming "I told you so's" were never going to come.

Too bad, so sad.

...unsure about her future. She sometimes sounds like her original position as ultra-Bernie supporter. She also hints about moving on, but never seems - to me - like fully embracing Hillary as the Democratic leader. I get the feeling she's "auditioning" for something. She may want a job offer -- waiting for a TV news analysis job offer, or an offer from the Clinton campaign? She has not found her place, yet, because Bernie did not win and his "Revolution" is not hiring.
