clinton vs. sanders your vote? — Page 145

You're right, PJ. Democrats who accept GOP money should never be running for president.

By the way, this 2013 article is by the same investigative reporter you just linked about the contribution. But his revelations about HIllary are nowhere as damning as his revelations about Nader.



HUFFINGTON POST: Ralph Nader Was Indispensable To The Republican Party

God, I love you Borstal. I know you don't feel the same but no matter. Keep on fighting the good fight, friend. xo

In the end, it comes down to is it a "moral compromise" or "pragmatic politics"?



HUFFINGTON POST: Hillary Clinton Is About To Be The Nominee. Now Comes The Tricky Part Of The Primary: She still needs to deal with Bernie Sanders.

Love it.

How will this impact the vote tomorrow? I hope voters don't get complacent.



P.S. Love it, gcal!

Time to finally leave Sanders behind to oppose the true enemy, Trump.

Hillary has not secured the nomination yet, despite the media spin. Hillary even knows this - urging people to still vote for her in California on her twitter account. Maybe this will mean a low voter turnout for Hillary tomorrow helping Bernie's cause (at the same time, it could also mean a low voter turnout for him too).

This is exactly the problem with the media and superdelegates.

I appreciate that thoroughness, and think that the chance Bernie Sanders could convince the superdelegates is unlikely (i.e., I agree the outcome of HRC as nominee is very likely). But it would have been nice if the media at least gave him a shot. Consistently reporting Hillary's lead with superdelegates throughout this whole race has lead to a potentially false impression to voters that Hillary has been winning by a wider margin than she has, and given CA is Sanders' last shot - this continued reporting couldn't have come at a worse time for him.

The media let slip that they were going to call the race for Hillary long before the results were in.

Are you guys cool with this? The media reporting a victory of their preferred candidate before people vote? And no, it's not showbiz, it's a GD election.

I'm not asking this rhetorically. I really want to know if you have a truly objective take on this and what you think it does to our morale as a country. Do we all just shrug and say "Oh, the media is corrupt. La dee dah."



Imagination trumps practicality any day. It's a shame its such a unvalued currency in this increasingly sorry country.

BUT! You heard it from The Media: Hillary has it tied up. I'm sure whoever buries dead Palestinian children is breathing a sigh of relief for the job security.

madbrian said: "Maddow cornered a poor Sanders spokesperson with an interesting tidbit. Seems like in 2008, Sanders stayed out of the primary until this precise point in the process, when he endorsed Obama, claiming that the race was over. The spokesperson's response was effectively, "Homina, homina, homina." "



You can see that^ exchange at about 5:35. Pretty damn devastating.
