Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumRachel Maddow. My rant continues....
Last week when I caught a couple of her shows one of the things she ranted about was how devastating it would for Bernie to lose Massachusetts because it is a white, liberal state that borders with his state of Vermont.
I have heard that Rachel is a Rhodes scholar. I would think a Rhodes scholar would know that the Senator from NY's state also borders Mass. So if this is the case, wouldn't it be just as devastating for Hillary to lose Mass?
-------------------------------
And then there is this..... Rachel has been whining

This article, fluff piece, piece of crap that was written by someone named rmuse, whose twitter page is nothing more than an attack on Bernie & the repugs, actually lumps Capehart & Maddow for their concerns. Of course! Capehart spews vitriol, what else would we expect...
But Rachel is still pointing fingers at Bernie supporters for the Dems lower turnout-
Oh Rachel, this is a democracy and we have every right to want to change the way things are. When else other than a Presidential election will our voices be heard? Please stop pointing fingers at those of us that have had ENOUGH!
Count me in as someone that has had it with the propaganda of today's mainstream media.

MissDeeds
(7,499 posts)Now I regard her as just another corporate sell out who will spew M$M talking points for the almighty dollar.
I hate the way she lectures and speaks down to her viewers as if they are incapable of forming their own opinions without her incredibly insightful guidance and input.
I'll never watch her again.

(46,436 posts)Saying the same thing four or five times, merely changing a word or two, doesn't make it any more meaningful. I got it the first time. I guess she just needs to fill up her hour with words even if they're the same words over and over.

(2,125 posts)When Rachel had a show on Air America Radio after the sElection 2000 and 9/11 I used to think it was a pipe dream that she would one day go mainstream. Her show used to air at like 5:00 AM or something like that but you could stream it any time. She kept me sane during that insane time. Now she has her own primetime show on a major network and I wish she would just go away. She is the last person on earth who I would've thought would sell out. But that's exactly what she did. I hope it was worth it.

(1,835 posts)She was making a political point for her chosen candidate.
She once did lived in Western Mass and that's pretty much equidistant from tthe Vermont and NY State borders.

(685 posts)We consider our borders to be tri- state. We're the NY-NJ-CT section of the country.
Mass and Vermont, Maine, Rhode Island, New Hampshire even parts of Northern Connecticut, we call that New England and it's really seen as a separate grouping.
Just saying...

(399 posts)but I grew up in Albany, you know the capital, and we were about a 30 minute drive from Massachusetts. My high school skied at Jiminy Peak every Friday night in the winter, my dad had season tix to the minor league team in Pittsfield when the Red Sox had the franchise. And if we're being totally ridiculous about neighboring state favored son/daughter isn't Iowa next to Illinois where Hillary spent her first 18 years?
HillareeeHillaraah
(685 posts)Wasn't bragging about anything, I was just mentioning that in this area - the area the Clintons have called home for the past 16 years - we go by the nickname The Tri State Area. Further, around here, we call everything from around Norwalk and up "New England". But I notice now the group name, I'll leave you be.
Have a good evening.

Shove off, Rach...you've sold your soul to the devil.

(32,902 posts)Maddow is the worst. She should know better. The saddest thing, if Hillary had her way, Rachel would be considered a second class citizen and NOT have the ability to marry the person she loves.

(39,451 posts)Sorry - I'm not sure I am following your post.
Sweetearth
(7 posts)...maybe that post was a little obscure. What I was trying to say was it seemed silly to me that Rachael who's very high profile -- Hillary? needs to post in a group that calls itself "underground." I mean, "subversive" was supposed to be funny
