23. Did You See This On The Ari Melber Show?.....
Thu Feb 22, 2018, 08:28 PM
Feb 2018

I noticed that since that 13 person indictment came down - Melber has been picking on Bernie. I don't hear that from any of the other hosts of MSNBC programs - only Melber. I was going to ask here if anybody else sensed that Melber has it in for Bernie?

I can understand the Russians helping Bernie during the primaries -- because they like the Repugs followed the ABC's - Anybody But Clinton. But after Hillary won the Dem nomination - there was no need for the Russians to continue to support Bernie. The damage they did by dividing the Party during the primary spilled over to the General and some Bernie supporters didn't vote for Hillary. This is when the Russians turned their attention to supporting Trump and taking down Hillary any chance they got.

I really don't think Bernie had an inkling that he was getting any kind of Russian support during the primary.

Bottom line the Repugs and Trump were the beneficiaries of the Russian interference. If they would have been successful with knocking Hillary out of the primary and Bernie became the nominee - they - the Russians would have turned all their attention on Trump and would have done everything in their power to elect Trump and not Bernie.
