CNN commentator Joe Lockhart told S.E. Cupp on her show that he doesnt think the media is seriously considering how Sen. Bernie Sanders could run away with the nomination.
Theres real shades of 2016, Lockhart said. Im gonna get flamed on Twitter tonight but the media early on did not take Trump seriously. So they didnt vet him and say, does your plan add up? And you know what about your plan on Iran and getting out?
Up until now, the media has not taken Bernie Sanders that seriously, he continued.
He would say the same thing, Cupp interjected.
And hes been right, Lockhart agreed.
