Watch: After Bernie Wins Indiana, CNN Immediately Badgers Him to Quit

The hostile coverage continues.

By Alexandra Rosenmann / AlterNet May 4, 2016

Bernie Sanders won the Indiana primary by a slim margin last night, just 52 percent of the vote, yet immediately after announcing his victory, CNN was already hounding the Democratic candidate to drop out of the race.

“Tonight we have a new political reality ... where we have a presumptive Republican nominee [Trump], and the general election for him is very much beginning. ... So, staying in this race, aren’t you effectively making it harder for the Democrats to beat the man who you say would be so bad?” CNN’s Dana Bash asked Bernie Sanders.

“Well, you’ve already conceded the race for me,” Sanders scoffed. “I don't accept that concession. I don’t quite agree with you. ... And what I have said time and time again is that what our campaign has succeeded in doing in a way the Clinton campaign has not done. We win in almost every ... state caucus or primary, people 45 years of age or younger. ... The ideas that we are fighting for are the future of America, they are the future of the Democratic Party. And by the way, what we have done, is excite an entire generation of people—working people and young people—who are now getting involved in the political process."

2. Did you see the balding and botoxed talking heads try their best to ignore his victory?

Finally, Van Jones had to yell 'Bernie won!" even then the mumblers and bumblers tried to yell over him they were in so much angst their Queen Bee was a loser...again.

Hey, its not Bernie's fault she has such an unpleasant personality. Many women in public life can present their case with eloquence and intelligence (think Cecile Richardson) without braying like a mule.

4. No, I didn't see it .. I just came across this today and thought people here might

find it interesting.

What a bunch of knuckleheads. Sanders must get beyond frustrated having to repeat his position time and time again. They completely ignore what his campaign and the movement behind it are all about.

3. So that's it. I was bomping around on the radio and all I heard was will Bernie pull out...

No direct news about Indiana, so I figured he won it. Makes sense.
