Rachael on fire for Bernie Sanders crowds in RED STATES!! Woot!

[99th_Monkey]

Look for the MSNBC clip, it's awesome!

[lostnfound]

1. Yep it was awesome and I wonder if Rachel is feeling pressure but ignoring it...

Or if she is not feeling pressure.

I.e., after the departure of Ed Schultz, here she is giving Bernie some good coverage.

[99th_Monkey]

4. Well, she IS juxtaposing her Bernie coverage, with the "Trump" phenomenon.

And I wish she hadn't.

But if you ignore the Trump part, it was still great for Bernie regardless.
I loved that little "Bernie" bumper sticker in Dead Horse Alaska.

22. Hard to ignore the Trump part since it got the most play.

Rachel has said it herself, she likes politics for the horserace.
That's fine, in the abstract. But when she joined with MSNBC her funding, her personal political situation on the jobsite, has weakened her message to the extent that I stopped listening. I think her coverage of US wars is less than useless.

23. I'll admit Rachael is becoming hit & miss

But her glee about Bernie's humungous crowds & populist 'socialist' message in Red states
is palpable and I enjoy seeing that on evening nooz.

Plus she has a weird love affair with Oregon, especially Portland, where I live, so there's that
too.

But I hear you.

2. Bernie is right about the 50 state thing

[doc03]

3. Bernie Saders is not eletable IMO all I see him doing is

guaranteeing the next President is a Republican. All they do on MSNBC is trash Clinton now.

[99th_Monkey]

5. Boo-Hoo!

Hint: Bernie is running as a Democrat, not an independent. He's no GE spoiler. Nope.

AND

Bernie is ALREADY running stronger against many of the GOP candidates than is Hillary, and
this is super-early in the Primary season. The Primaries are still very much in play.

The more people keep saying "Bernie is unelectable" over and over, the more his crowds grow,
and his poll numbers keep climbing.

6. How many times does that have to be pointed out to the deniers?

[Fawke Em]

7. Until they get it or until we realize they're here only to make those denials.

Which ever comes first.

[artislife]

8. Until we win the primary. nt

[Fawke Em]

9. That, too.

[beam me up scottie]

10. "Vote for Hillary! Because she's better than a Republican."

When that's your slogan you should be worried about someone like Bernie.

[restorefreedom]

15. indeed! nt

16. I want to see any Democrat win. Unlike Republicans Democrats have a

very weak bench. We got a 73 year old socialist and a 70 year old woman. I don't think Sanders could win a general election and the way everyone here is trashing Clinton and the Republicans have been doing everything they can do to trash her for the last 2 years I think a Republican will win next year. If a Republican wins this time with a House and Senate God help the 99%.
and democracy itself.

[99th_Monkey]

17. God is helping the 99%

We have a Democrat with FDR credentials in the race, and he's doing VERY well,
even in RED states, in case you haven't noticed.

20. I saw around 8000 people at a rally for John Kerry

in Wheeling West Virginia and a similar crowd in Steubenville Ohio (two very small towns) back in 2004. I don't remember any President Kerry. Just because a few thousand people show up at a rally doesn't translate into several million votes to carry Ohio.

[99th_Monkey]

21. This early? In the Primary? I'm guessing those were GE rallies. -nt-

[mwooldri]

11. Only if Bernie wins the Democratic primaries.

He's got to clear that hurdle first. If the polls are to be believed, right now if a primary was to be held in every state she would crush Bernie and any other contender. Even if the vote wasn't first-past-the-post.

If he is "un-electable" he isn't going to win the primaries.

There's plenty of time between now and the first primary/caucus for things to change. Hillary might fire up the base. Any of the candidates might have to drop out on health grounds (age has nothing to do with it). Donald Trump might win the GOP primaries. John Boehner could declare unicorns to be an endangered species. I could win millions of dollars from the lottery.

I'm in the "let's wait and see" crowd right now.

13. Uh did you see today's poll

[delrem]

18. "electable" - kinda like 'eligible' in "the world's most eligible bachelor"

Meaningless twaddle for the tabloids.

[Report1212]

12. Could you post the clip yourself when it's up?

I just dont really know what this is referring to otherwise

[99th_Monkey]

14. OK, I'll try.

But if I don't get to it, I'm sure it'll be up soon in an OP.

19. HUGE K & R !!! - Thank You !!!
