in the history of the NH Primary). Yet we have these paid corp hacks slamming Bernie for not turning out the vote.
Your journalistic integrity overwhelms me. Is there any bullshit you won't spew for a paycheck?
He received 151,584 votes which was 31% greater than the next closest candidate.

You REFUSE to disclose the Iowa vote totals for Sanders and Clinton so obviously they don't support your bogus argument against Bernie. (Not that we would trust anything you released based on your conduct to date.)

(9,141 posts)Since they follow what the people want. She had more than Obama also in super delegates but they all flipped at the convention since the popular vote was for Obama...and Bernie is doing far better than Obama but sites like the Maddow blog with Steve Benen are all out there downplaying Bernie's huge record setting success. According to Thomm Hartmann Bill Clinton said to the MSM..."Release the Cracken" on Bernie and here it comes (this 74 y/o socialist is unelectable) right after he set records winning in NH. Pretty thin. All Polls show he beats all republicans with a greater margin than Hillary...and it's "Democratic" Socialist...like the rest of us since FDR...that's what a progressive is.

Journalistic integrity is an oxymoron.

(39,451 posts)she blames Bernie for low turnout!
I think the fumes from all that glue they use on the false eyelashes that she wears daily are seeping into her brain.

(19,537 posts)When the Dems had Edwards, Obama, and Hillary running, there was more motivation for all voters to vote.
Ask yourself if many O'Malley voters might have stayed home instead of voting. Had O'Malley stilll been running and their voters came out, you'd have had higher vote totals and arguably Bernie could have had similar numbers then.

(19,993 posts)I don't do Twitter so I don't really know how that works. Maybe she's been pressured by the network to toe the corporate line. Maybe they've threatened her. She's obviously very familiar with all the liberal shows they've taken off the air.
