It pisses me off

I know that its the M$M, but damn Sen. Sanders is speaking on the day of a democratic primary... and M$NBC is airing Trump rambling on and on... WTF... shouldn't today be devoted to Sen. Sanders and Sec. Clinton?

I like that they put the Democratic Candidates in the small little box in the corner... yah thanks assholes

A candidate who's likely to say something NEW is newsworthy.

As for "Sanders is speaking on the day of a democratic primary", maybe the fact that he's not speaking in the State WITH the Primary says something.

except that she's talking about issues further to the left than she will ever support if elected.

They just can't help themselves. I'd like to know how they think they can win the GE, if Clinton is the nominee, without us.

I watched a great, honest, humble man give a heart felt speech

in front of 10,000 people.

I started crying as I watched Bernie and 10,000 people

singing, "This Land Is Your Land".

This man has cemented his place in history as a man for ALL PEOPLE !!!

I was 10 when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.

I have been waiting my whole life for this moment in history to come.

There is pretty much nothing else to say at this point, we should just let the people vote.

Also the more they talk about the Dem primary the more it might effect turnout negatively. If MSNBC is saying all day "it's Hillary's nomination"... Which many claim they do... Bernie folks might not turnout.
