Did CNN just say that Bernie flipped Missouri?

There was news that this might happen but I haven't seen anything official. Now I got a few texts saying that CNN say that he took MO.

I don't have cable so can anyone confirm?

Why Bill Clinton Is the Least-Deserving Honorary Black Person, Explained

"He may have seemed like our cool, white BFF, but at the end of the day, he’s just another white politician doing what white politicians do."

Why is Bill Clinton in the news today?

Bill Clinton is a white man who happened to be president of the United States from 1992 to 2000. His wife, Hillary, a white woman, is running for president now. Clinton was a popular president and still remains very popular with quite a few people. Naturally, his wife would seem to want to take advantage of that, so he’s done some work on her behalf. On Thursday, while delivering a talk to “help” his wife’s campaign, he was interrupted by some Black Lives Matter protesters who demanded Clinton address his infamous crime bill; generally regarded today as one of the main culprits behind the disproportionate imprisonment of black Americans. (And also a bill recently denounced by his wife.)

Clinton replied by shouting down the protesters, circling the “superpredator” wagons and spouting some gobbledygook about how African black lives matter too. It was so bad it felt intentionally bad. Like an NBA team losing games on purpose to have a better chance in the draft lottery. Or going to a performance-art installation called “Whiting While White” at a gallery crawl.

You put help in quotations earlier. Is there any particular reason why?

Well, a not-so-far-fetched explanation for Bubba’s meltdown is that, subconsciously, he actually doesn’t want his wife to be president. "

Why is Bill Clinton ranked #15 with 185k tweets?

He should be in the #2 slot.

That fake apology definitely didn't help.

This is the same thing that happened when #WhichHillary took off.

It must be nice to be friends with the CEO.

Democracy Now: Military Historian Agrees with Sanders: Hillary Clinton is an Unreconstructed Hawk

"In the Democratic presidential race, Senator Bernie Sanders has often clashed with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton about U.S. policy in the Middle East. At one debate, he accused Clinton of being "too much into regime change." We ask military historian Andrew Bacevich for his assessment"
