2. Nice, but of course they have to dismiss him at the end.

They still conclude the report by basically saying "of course, Hillary still has the nomination locked up."

Still, the piece was good PR for him.

3. Yea, I hated the last 'commentary' but Bernie is making news and getting good exposure, all and all.

While is is a given hillary will be treated with 'kid gloves' by the MSM, the MSM won't be able to resist the profit motive for having a contested democratic primary.

4. The authenticity of the rallies

The authenticity of the rallies is seen as validating the message of the Sanders campaign.
So I guess it was a good call by Sanders to choose doing these rallies instead of debasing the campaign and courting contributors with deep pockets. Deciding his time was better spent letting the crowds get to know him instead of insinuating himself with all of our party's self appointed Very Important Persons, and gate keepers.

Oh the sleepless nights spent pacing the floor before making the right pick! The agony of waiting to see what the focus groups advised!

I kid, so as to help boost the contrast of what people are seeing with Sanders. It appears that this generation of early primary voters has a great idea of what is what. My oh my, how that must unnerve the establishment.
