(2,096 posts)On CBS this morning they had Claire McCaskill on to discuss Nevada. Hopefully they will have video of it soon. I would anticipate after watching McCaskill this morning that the memo to start reining in people like the ones in this video will begin. McCaskill made clear that Hillary NEEDS Sanders supporters. Looks like they might finally be getting a clue. We shall see.

(2,096 posts)I agree. It was just dumb to do what they've done. As I said last night - they were following their authoritarian instincts instead of their political instincts. After watching McCaskill this morning it looks like they might be trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube.

(3,937 posts)Not sure what changed. Cenk and TYT were speculating about Biden coming in to replace Hillary if she goes down. To do THAT they would need to really beat down Sanders supporters and we are seeing that now (?)

(2,096 posts)Yes, that is a possibility that I've read about. By the way a glowing piece on Biden was also run on CBS this morning.
One thing is clear we are being manipulated right now. Only time will tell whether the manipulation also extends to manipulating the Hillary supporters as well.

(3,937 posts)They have been keeping expectations low on the Sanders' side but telling Hillary supporters that she is inevitable.
Probably they just go with 'Biden will beat Trump' and throw Elizabeth Warren in as VP but I still think that is not satisfying for those who want the first female president now.

(2,096 posts)will help. They will then be given the choice - Bernie or Biden. Which one do you think they will choose? Um hmmm.

(3,937 posts)Could be interesting.
I have always taken Biden's candidacy as a sign that those on the inside are hedging their Clinton bet for an unnamed reason. Either they know something about Hillary that most of us don't or they are just making sure that Sanders never, under any circumstances, gets the nomination.

(2,096 posts)her partisan Hillary hat was on full display. At least if she's going to be in the camp she should have the decency to admit it instead of pretending to be neutral. I'd at least have some respect for her if she did that.

(3,133 posts)Editor of NPR set it straight this morning. Bernie should sue CNN for harm.

(159 posts)B. Boxer says she feared for her life, I think I heard this before, though that time it was Hillary who "feared" for her life from "snipers" when she landed in Bosnia. I like B. Boxer, but she does support Hillary and appears to be following Hillary's script. Where was B. Boxer, DWS, the DNC, the media, etc., when the Hillary people hijacked Bernie websites and posted not only pornographic material on them, but also child pornography. I don't recall hearing any outcries from them about that. Not only was it shameful & hatefilled, but also illegal, but yet not a peep from these folks about Hillary and her folks supporting this.

(45,984 posts)It is not a news outlet but a propaganda outlet for the one percent. Let's call CNN's coverage of the Nevada what it is: a pack of lies that could have been scripted by David Brock and Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
