I was just watching "Morning Joe" and their conversation was about the new polls coming in. Suddenly, Mika interjects and stands up for Bernie. I played it back and took dictation directly from my VCR:
Mika Brzezinskia:
"For 15 minutes we've been talking about Hillary. Can somebody here at the table talk about Bernie Sanders? Can you talk about what he brings to the table and perhaps we have not really given him the coverage, the deference and, quite frankly, and we've underestimated him every step of the way. This guy has been out in Iowa, this guy has been out in New Hampshire. He's been crisscrossing the country tirelessly backing his movement, backing his message."
Eugene Robinson:
"I think Bernie Sanders has been undercovered and, mea culpa. I haven't covered him enough. This has been a year where the establishment lane is going nowhere. It seems to be going nowhere. This is the year where people are looking for that famous word, "authenticity," but they are also looking for new ideas, new approaches. And so here comes Bernie Sanders who is an incredible un-politician. He's different. He's new even though he's been around for a long time. For a lot of voters, he's new. Hillary Clinton, a lot of people don't remember her as First Lady at all. They remember her, perhaps, as senator from New York and as Secretary of State. So they don't have the references we may have. But, Bernie Sanders, this is remarkable what he's done. It really is."
