Those two on MSNBC right now

Who pretty much excoriate Clinton say that the CNN town hall was bias against clinton and bernie got softballs. You gott think it was true cause those two don't cut Clinton any slack.

They went as far to say it was unfair.

John Hellemann and Mark Halperin thanks for calling it like it was.

And it's about time too. Bernie has been "coasting" without the same level of media scrutiny and criticism that Hillary has been given.

So much negative baggage. So many scandals. So many weak spots.

Americans are exhausted by it all.

8. Yes True Gotcha questions like "You are wicked smart". and Does it please you to get endorsements?

Her first question was something like dont you feel good getting all these endorsements and calling her "wicked smart". In what universe is this biased against Hillary. This could not be designed as a bigger softball.

How can you post the OP with a straight face. She did get a hard question or two in the town hall but they all did. However, starting with the first one and ending with the last one, she got the biggest softballs of all three.

Halperin last week on Morning Joe said that his connections at the DOJ were telling him that they were ready to move on Hillary. Joe jumped in and said that I've been hearing the same thing from lots of people. Then Steve Ratner, the guy who always brings the Charts (and the only objective voice of reason on that show) said that "The DOJ has a protocol they have to follow before they indict anyone. That includes interviewing the potential indictee. They have not even interviewed Hillary yet, and they are nowhere near ready to hand down an indictment". Then Cokie Roberts jumped in, in support of Rattner and said, "Yes, I'm not hearing that from any of my contacts inside the DOJ." Joe shut up. Halperin shut up and neither said another word. They were just blowing smoke up people's but like the always do, because the usual group like Willie and Barnicle usually just chime in with them in agreement. This time they didn't get that agreement. Instead their comments were shot down, and guess what. They Shut Up because they were either lying or they didn't have the convictions of their previous statements to challenge what Rattner or Cokie had said or to stand behind their previous comments. But I guess we'll see.
