Rachel Maddow just said that the presidential race is out of reach for Bernie Sanders.

1. K&R!

[Trust Buster]

2. She speaks the truth.

[scscholar]

3. If she said that...

then Bernie must still have a chance. I don't trust her.

[brer cat]

12. ...

[LexVegas]

4. It is. nt

[reddread]

5. the voice of fairness and equity

sooner or later you have to start trusting the untrustworthy.
right?

[Turin_C3PO]

6. Yes, but

I still think there's no harm in him staying in until all states have voted, just to let people have their say, even if it's basically symbolic. I would be against him contesting the convention if he's behind in pledged delegates, we need to be united against the Republicans by then. I'm a Bernie supporter btw, and do want to cast my vote for him in New Mexico .

[La Lioness Priyanka]

9. i agree with you. i think he should stay till the end.

[LiberalFighter]

19. Unless there is a state law in your state

You should still be able to vote for your candidate.

State laws usually do not permit removal of a candidate after a certain deadline.

I don't remember which state but it was a recent primary in which Rubio beat out Republicans that were still in.

[Ed Suspicious]

7. She will not have the required amount of delegates until the convention.

We'll see what happens then.

[beedle]

8. You watching reruns from August?

Maddow and her really blatant attempts at sabotaging Bernie's campaign, is now 'out of reach' for a lot of progressives .. of course I assume Maddow has a position in a Hillary administration (if she wins the GE of course, which is not a given by a long shot) so come Jan she will be off the air anyway.

[mcar]

10. Reality!

[fluffyclouds]

11. Maddow has become a establishment hack!

No need to say more.

[MrMickeysMom]

13. Sounds like Rachel's positioning herself with someone...

I wonder what the reward is now that her stature in the MSM earned her a good paycheck.

They start out wanting to make a difference, and then they fall in line with the corporation. You can't tell where this stuff starts and stops.

[bettyellen]

15. another paranoid accusation of a good liberal being "on the take" merely because they don't kiss

Bernie's ring. Ridiculous.

[MrMickeysMom]

18. Who said they had to kiss anyone's ring?

Maddo is a Rhodes scholar and does not have enough knowledge to conceive what is likely to happen at the convention. That is NOT a sign of intelligence... It's more LIKELY a sign of someone kissing Hillary's ass.

[bettyellen]

20. LOL, she knows more about the political process than most people here- your self included

Yet gets skewered here for telling the truth when SBS people don't like to hear it.
The fat lady sang, tonight. If SBS thinks he is going to the convention as anything but an also ran, he is delusional. The math has done him in.

[MrMickeysMom]

21. "The math has done him in"...

You kill me. You actually think what is portrayed in a political process is a skill set.

At least you're right that she knows that process more than most. She's got the best "processor". And, isn't that what we all need? A "processor".

[bettyellen]

22. I feel sorry for all the confused and paranoid people throwing one person after another under the

bus, merely because they are spieled with reality. Process that.

[MrMickeysMom]

24. Please call someone else confused and paranoid because I am neither.

You are quick to throw that out because it's what you need to do.

The rest of us take this stuff pretty seriously, as far as I can read here.

[lancer78]

14. Well

Rachel has not been quiet about her love for Clinton. But Bernies chances are pretty slim.

[Marrah_G]

16. She would say different if she weren't a Clinton supporter

Everyone views things through their own ideals/desires/needs, etc

[Maru Kitteh]

17. To say otherwise would be a strain of credulity

It's time to move forward.

[musicblind]

23. She speaks the truth.

A part of me hates to say it, but I think she is right.

I voted for Bernie, although I never hated Clinton by any means, but I think it is time for us to unite. Both camps are full of really good people who want good things for America.

I love DU and I love the democratic party. Lets stand together.
