CNN is complete garbage. They used to be ever so slightly more reputable than MSNBC and FOX but now they’re worse because they try to pretend they are moderate.

They’re like the klam of TV infotainment

No way. They're not post-partisan. :ohno:

They're both full of shit and they're both afraid of Bernie. I think Warren and the CNN chick that asked Bernie about his comment on the electability of women and then ignored his denial and asked Warren what she thought about his comment were both prepped for that encounter prior to the debate. She probably could have won a he said/she said with anybody else on the stage, unfortunately for her Bernie has been pretty consistent if nothing else for a long time and I don't think it will stick.

I agree. I obviously don't like Bernie but he was set up on this one. I do love the irony of a "progressive" white male being presumed guilty.

Oh no’s! Bernie Bros are at it again!

Establishment media hates Bernie almost as much as Trump.

You know I was just checking on how Biden does against Trump in polling in various States and it really does behoove the Democrats to nominate Biden. He's leading Trump in polls of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. He's leading Trump in Florida. He's leading Trump in North Carolina. He's leading Trump in GEORGIA, for Pete's sake. And he's only 0.5 percentage points down in polls of TEXAS.

As I've said before: ANY Democrat candidate would have a shot. But they'd be smart to nominate Biden then cross their fingers that he lives through the election. It's not hard to see why Trump wants to do stuff like try to get the Ukraine to announce an investigation of him.

I'm going to predict this right now: If Sleepy Joe is the opponent, Trump wins 6 out of the 7 of Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Florida, North Carolina, Georiga, Texas.

And probably a futile one: Hildabeast is a public figure, so Tulsi has to show actual malice.

Not sure how anyone other than Biden wins this to be honest. DNC ain't gonna let Bernie win, and plus Bernie is too big of a pussie to call out the DNC so he will go down like a whimpering bitch just like in 2016.

As much as the super-delegates are BS, Clinton won the popular vote during the 2016 primary.

That said, she can eff off with her recent comments. She needs to do a Bush II and go away.

The level of karma involved in her going down in the general the way Bernie went down in the primary....its nearly enough to make me question my disbelief... :shock:

They have to play it much more carefully this time now that they know the Berners aren't joking about voting third party or not voting at all if they feel they got fucked.

Haven’t heard from BDK in awhile so I figured I’d draw him out with a “tits on a bull” opportunity...

6 Dems now lead Trump by numbers greater than the margin of error...

Hillary: 'Sanders Would Be More Likable If He'd Just Have The People Who Don't Like Him Assassinated'
Image
U.S.—Hillary Clinton had some helpful advice for the Bernie Sanders campaign after she claimed nobody likes him.


In a candid moment, she told the interviewer that if she were running the Sanders campaign, the vocal critics would find themselves "swimming with the fishes."

"Look, if you want to be likable in politics, you've got to be willing to fight for it, and maybe kill for it," she said. "The absolute number of people that like Bernie may not go up, but the percentage of surviving people who like him will increase. And the people who still don't like him wouldn't want to say anything. The best kind of likability is the kind that comes when people are too afraid to speak up against you."

"I want people to be afraid of how much they love me," she added.

Many political commentators quickly condemned her remarks but have since turned up dead.
Dear Lord, We come before you and humbly ask you to grant our prayer for a veil of protection to be placed over Donald Trump. May your will be done. In Jesus name we pray. Amen
