Watching Morning Joe...

and the coverage difference between Trump and Clinton is a little absurd.

They started off crowing about Trump winning, with a million I-told-you-sos to everyone out there. Trump was said to be "the presumptive nominee", he crushed his competition, etc. They said almost nothing negative (that I can remember).

When they turned to Clinton's victory, they admitted (lol!) that she won...but Joe started talking about Bernie having more of a "real" Democratic platform and he said that HRC will have to concede some things to Bernie if she wants to continue to do well. He said, "that campaign's not over and Hillary Clinton's people need to understand that" Bernie's people are going to keep yelling and screaming...he said that HRC's going to have to give Bernie's people "something significant, because right now she's seen as an interventionist, correctly, she has closer ties to Wall Street than any Republican that's in the race right now, and Bernie Sanders, for millions and millions of Democrats, is a fix to that problem." Then they all talked about what an inspiring campaign he ran, blah blah blah.

they have Donald Trump calling in to their show this morning. Didn't the other networks stop allowing him to do interviews by phone? Great – he can call in while he's probably in bed with his pajamas on (and probably with someone feeding him the answers to tough questions)! lol...why do I watch this show? It's like a trainwreck.

Trump just said Bernie's given him so much great attack material for Hillary. He also said Bernie had some "great ideas" that he's going to think about incorporating into his campaign. Could he be any more transparent in trying to woo BS fans?

WE true Hillary supporters should not risk life and limb watching Joemaniac. It raises your blood pressure, body temp..........and he's never going to give her a fair shake. Remember the "unqualified" fiasco he tried to get her on and then BS jumped on her for "quote unquote" saying he wasn't...........

^..^

CNN isn't any friendlier either..............

For what? Eight years now, this show has been delivering a big load of garbage every morning. Joe treats Meeka and every other woman on the show like they are his "Sister Wives" and The Meek One gets right into the spirit of it all by speaking mostly into her own chest.

Taking these people seriously is your second mistake. Your first is watching in the first place.

MSNBC last night was all Trump all the time. Rachel appeared to give Brian Williams the side eye a few times but he kept talking about how we are all family yada, yada, yada. He even told guests he was out of time so he could blather some incoherent nonsense. Steve Kornacki was the only reason to watch last night because he knows MATH.

Go Hillary!

who was part of the witch hunt against the Clinton's....you know he has never fully explained his role with dead female campaign worker he had....when you figure how morally corrupt each and every conservative were that were going after the Clinton's...his involvement with the gal...isn't a big leap....so he is forever bent...and will do his best to keep pushing trump on the American people

Because a lot of them she already endorses them. Most of the Bernie supporters will see there is no choice but to support Hillary. None of the one's here but in the real world they will.

To me if a supporter of sanders rather sit it out...that is slam in the face to Bernie who does not want conservatives to destroy more of what America stands for...sanders supporters can hem and haw all they want but if they want to see further erosion of women's rights, minority rights, gutting of EPA.... etc....siton the side lines with your egos...
