(45,251 posts)I don't know a lot about Snow, but I admire Joy Reid. I don't believe she would do this kind of thing if it were not marching orders from her employer. And I don't fault her for wanting to keep her job.
That said, this is shameful, as has been so much of MSNBC.

If I am wrong, I am wrong and it doesn't much matter. I will continue to watch MSNBC until election day, then I will never turn it on again. But that doesn't much matter either.
BTW, she is on air now, doing the same kind of thing. The man said he was voting for Hillary because she was going to be the nominee and he didn't want to waste his vote, but he wants Hillary to incorporate Bernie's ideas.

(45,251 posts)Many people do like to vote for winners, though. It makes them feel vindicated in their choice. That is one of the reasons Hillary as been described as inevitable since forever.

Here's a guy who wants to vote for Trump (gag!) who said that he will "absolutely, absolutely" vote for Sanders if given the choice. And he talks about how Clinton and her husband are untrustworthy.
That was powerful.
Joy also said that there are a lot of Trump Democrats who will vote for Bernie.
In the end, I think this was a win for Bernie.
It certainly wasn't a win for Clinton, that's for sure!

'Democracy Spring', and 'Bernie 2016 TV', and 'The Young Turks' - none of these is 24 hours so you have to play with it a little.

(14,174 posts)Its funny that one of these voters would chose Bernie over Hillary. Clinton and Trump are much closer in positions (outside of social policies) than Clinton and Sanders.
