Just Listened To The Beginning Of The Today Show And..... [View all]

they were talking about speculation of Biden throwing his hat in the ring. My thought is that this is a Repug ploy to further discredit Hillary as McCain made a statement that Joe is considering running as he sees people distrusting Hillary. They even had Chuck Toad comment on Joe and never once in this whole piece did they mention Bernie and Bernie's momentum in this primary. The RSM (right stream media) is doing everything in their power to minimize Bernie and take him out of the picture. So it is up to us - Bernie's Army - to make sure Bernie's momentum continues to the point that they can't continue to ignore him. The RSM, the 1% and the Banksters are really afraid of Bernie and it is getting more and more apparent every day Bernie keeps racking up huge crowds rallying around his platform.
