Morning Joe bends over backwards NOT to mention Sanders

29. The Bernie Filter aside - THE story here is ...

the framing that the MSM does ...

This frame is exactly like Bush V Gore.

Bush was a literal moron, Gore a super smart, honorable man.

Taken at the level it SHOULD have been taken, given the election of the god darned president of the united states, there was no comparison. You want the smartest, most capable person running this country.

BUT, to have a horse race/favor the republicans, that whole election was defined the way republicans and "liberal" media defined it in the complete absence of trying to see who was most competent, but instead based on PERSONALITY.

So, the sheeple in this country didn't look at it as who was most capable, but instead were caught up in the storyline of how Al Gore was arrogant and George W Bush was a "man you would like to have a beer with."

THAT is what they were doing. Whatever deranged hatred some may have of Hillary here, there is absolutely no comparison as to who would be the better POTUS, because Trump is a simple minded lunatic.

The frame is based on where things are NOW - Trump would win the republican nomination and Hill the democratic nomination.

Such time was Bernie over takes Hill, they will do the same thing - find some mind numbingly idiotic frame to parrot over and over to to negatively frame Bernie while positively framing the jackass republican.
