Bernie Sanders

No matter how well Bernie does in the polls, no matter what he says or does, no matter how much the voters respond to him, Democratic Party officials and pundits will NOT voice support for him in any measurable way during this primary process. Hillary will ALWAYS be the "winner", because Bernie is an interloper and she is the Party's choice.
Add to that, as I flipped through many channels last night before and after the debate, I noticed that almost every single Democratic pundit featured had been a prior Clinton supporter, campaign member, or administration member. Now how the FUCK does anyone expect those folks to say ANYTHING else but, "Hillary!"
All this means is that we have have to double our efforts to convince voters of Bernie's electability, of the quality of his positions, and the need to mobilize.
