MSNBC is in undisguised Hillary campaign mode today.

Andrea Mitchell Greenspan and Chris Matthews just had a sit down throwing shade at Bernie and now Hillary's campaign secretary is on with Andrea Mitchell attacking Bernie, including claiming he has a PAC (the PAC associated with the nurse's union, presumably). This is what passes for journalism and fair political commentary on MSNBC anymore.

MSNBC is the media arm of the Hillary campaign. Bernie has Bernie2016TV making videos of Bernie's rallies for YouTube and Hillary has MSNBC. And don't get me started on Tyndall Report or the NYT or the New Yorker.

ETA: Oh, and, according to Chris Matthews, the reason that young women are supporting Bernie rather than Hillary is that they don't understand everything Hillary had to go through to get where she is or how hard it was for a college "girl" to get an abortion before Roe v. Wade. (Apparently, Hillary was somehow connected to legalizing abortion?)

5. Today is different. The theme is how bad Bernie is to Hillary and to the country.

I'm a touch surprised they are not attacking his supporters, too.

Stay tuned!

But first I would need a tarp for when he spits

Seriously - I am fed up with this only young women support Bernie.
Well..... I am the youngest in the group of women that are volunteering for Bernie, does that count?

but then work got in the way and I didn't get to hear him talk about it. I'm going to look for the clip. I wonder if he talked about how no one is giving Bernie coverage. The last few days I've been hearing him say "MSNBC, which is supposed to be the liberal station" was giving Trump all day coverage over a 1200 person rally yet ignored Bernie's 27,000 person rallies.

The swarmy, overconfident, and resume-packing HRC and her minions are on full display. The thing that they can't get over is the fact that people don't trust HRC. They know her to be a liar from way back, and so all these statements just end up backfiring.

As I tell my kids "Don't be a Clinton". Means don't be deceitful, full-of-yourself self-centered person. With any luck this primary cycle will be her last.
