Chris Matthews: "Sanders is emerging - perhaps - as the front-runner"

[EdwardBernays]

just now on MSNBC

The entire conversation is about how this is a playing out as a "character" campaign... and how Sanders has been consistent for his whole career, "where she hasn't always been".

And btw Chris Hayes just accidentally called him "Bernie Sandwich"

2. Poor Tweety. Must have just about killed him to get those words out.

[redwitch]

6. Try not to choke on that Chris

7. He will have more earned delegates and some national polls have him

within the margin of error, although some do still have him farther back.


I think that at this point they are in a "virtual tie". Lets see where the national polls are in a week and how Nevada goes.

9. PPP, polling has been terrible but maybe they get other states right.

14. Whast happens if all of those Iowa superdelgates don't decide to stay bought?

How many did she purchase there anyway? Just sayin' maybe she paid them on the cheap seeing as how she was too cheap to buy a few pallets of water filters and a few pallets of water jugs for the Flint people she cares so much about she appears to me to not like spending all that "hard earned" money she accumulated.

Never mind, just kidding, I know she spends when it comes to buying people, I am sure the undemocratic superdelegates were paid as much at least as HRC 2016 vanity plate was to ensure victory there.

15. Super-delegates don't count until the convention.

I understand why the campaign which was based on inevitability has been parading them around, but it is meaningless at this point.


I doubt very much if they will overturn the will of the voters. They exist to prevent a brokered convention caused by a 3rd candidate acting as a spoiler. That is not the case here.

[Dragonfli]

16. they counted the superdelegates in NH last night giving her a 7-0 lead before a vote was cast.

So it appears they count them in some states.

[Motown_Johnny]

17. It is a distortion. Super-delegates cast their votes at the convention and not until. n/t

[merrily]

8. Cool, meanwhile MSNBC has all day been pushing TAXES. HOW'S HE GOING TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING? TAXES.

That lot could not possibly be more transparent if they put subtitles on the screen.

[EdwardBernays]

10. it's funny

because that shit is basic "pay it forward"... the same idea that medicare is based on... we pay for kids to go to school, and then those better educated kids pay for our grandkids, etc., etc.

Young folks get this, and the people that don't are basically slapping the idea of medicare in the face.

[merrily]

11. Austerity is a fail.

[EdwardBernays]

12. Utter nonsense

Is what it is.
