Mook on MSNBC now, repeating the "neighborhing state" bs about Bernie in NH

[merrily]

Have you ever once voted for a President because he came from a state near you? If not, why assume the people of New Hampshire are unlike you?

Ugh! Mook just smeared Bernie for--wait for it--attending "posh" DSCC retreats. He caucuses with Senate Democrats. Of course he is going to attend. LOW!

Chuck Toad was interviewing him.

1. he got some of that Democratic establishment stank on him....

[merrily]

4. He seems to have the ability to make something Bernie had no choice about seem bad.

Like Bernie having to vote for the Commodities Futures Financial Services Act that Bill's White House had lobbied hard for in order to stop Republicans from shutting down government.

[virtualobserver]

7. shame is not one of Bill Clinton's attributes

[merrily]

8. Maybe. It all depends on what your definition of 'is" is

[TIME TO PANIC]

5. +1

[leveymg]

2. If they're putting poor Mook before the cameras as the face, he'll be shot before dawn if things go

as badly for HRC as has been predicted.

[merrily]

6. "We're very proud her victory in Iowa." By 2/10 of a point, MAYBE, after she was 50 points ahead.

Okay, LOL!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

3. Is that all they've got?

[merrily]

9. He attended retreats with the Democratic US Senators with whom he caucuses!!!111!

That doesn't turn your stomach?

And didn't Hillary attend them, too?

If this is what that smear him with--and his supporters--this guy must be the cleanest candidate for President/leader in all human history.

[LiberalArkie]

15. He did not tell the people on tv that it was anyone but Sanders and the corp lobbyist

partying it up at lavish retreats with the lobbyists down in mart has vineyard.

[merrily]

22. No. And when he mentioned "posh" retreats, he connected it to Wall Street and

claimed Bernie had a lot of explaining to do.

Bernie, Senatorsplaining. "Um, we caucus together in the US Senate."

Again, if attending a retreat with the Democratic US Senators in his caucus is all that requires "a lot of explaining" from Bernie, Bernie is the cleanest politician since ever.

[LiberalArkie]

26. I have the 22mb mp4 video of it, I just don't have any knowledge of how to post it online.

[leveymg]

11. Even those tiny, little rounds are duds. Talking points going from false to farce.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

14. Desperation

[merrily]

23. "Talking points going from false to farce!" I love it, leveymg!

And it happened before my very eyes, too.

[CharlotteVale]

10. I've never understood that neighboring state crap. Going by that I

should have been for O'Malley since I live in VA.

[merrily]

12. You never got it because that is not how people choose Presidents. It was just

a lie to explain why Hillary dropped from over 80% in that state.

[TIME TO PANIC]

13. The "neighboring state" argument is ridiculous.

It just proves that he's popular with people who know about him.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

16. Just wait until he wins California

that's not near Vermont

[merrily]

24. Iowa doesn't border Vermont either and he either actually won or came within 2/10 of a point,

when she had everything on her side. Yeah,yeah, I know.

She's not a 74 year old male socialist against whom everything has been rigged.

[TIME TO PANIC]

34. Can't wait to hear the pundits try to rationalize that. n/t

[merrily]

19. When this started, Hillary had far higher name recognition in NH than Bernie.

In fact, far higher name recognition everywhere.

And media sure didn't help him. Neither did a smearing PAC. Neither did the Democratic Party. Neither did big donors.

We are witnessing a one of a kind phenom. It's nothing short of astounding.

[TIME TO PANIC]

32. They never saw it coming.

Exciting times!

[merrily]

33. Yet, I'm sure they got polls done very often.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

35. good point

[merrily]

36. Thanks!

[ViseGrip]

17. MSNBC in the tank for Hillary has been very apparent.

[merrily]

20. Absolutely. All media. (See the Tyndall Report.)

[Dustlawyer]

18. Utter BS!

[MerryBlooms]

21. Good grief. These sorts of shenanigans are just ridiculous and a waste of time now days.

There are a lot of these, 'political experts', still using 1990's tactics.

[merrily]

25. Bubba's glory days.

Oh, wait.

[notadmblnd]

27. I have a feeling that Mook is going to be unemployed soon.

Maybe he can get a job on Carson's or Fiorina's campaign?

[merrily]

29. David Axelrod tweet.

When the exact same problems crop up in separate campaigns, with different staff, at what point do the principals say, "Hey, maybe it's US?"

[seaotter]

28. Seems the "kicking and screaming" will soon commence.

The odor of desperation is in the air.

[merrily]

30. The Hillary campaign is much too big to wail.

(I have not seen anyone say or write that before, so I may have the copyright, LOL!)

[Bjornsdotter]

31. I heard that

...and it was a bunch of crap.
