Michael Nutter, the former mayor of Philadelphia spent the entire primary evening on CNN advocating for Hillary. He was referred to as a Hillary Supporter, and he did a great job supporting her.
Where was the Bernie Supporter? The rest of the CNN folks gave their commentary, but none of them were actually campaigning for
Bernie like Nutter was campaigning for Hillary.
Nothing against Nutter, but CNN screwed Bernie, and his supporters big time.
I bet they don't give a damn.

(32,653 posts)The deck may seem to be stacked because Bernie doesn't have any support among talking heads or congress. If he had them, I'm sure they'd be welcome on all the networks.

Not.

They don't.

Again, the problem is, Bernie doesn't have many allies /supporters within the pool of pundits/ guests that cable news networks rely on. If Bernie wins the nomination, the people who are currently supporting Clinton will argue on Bernie's behalf.

Nope.

Some other notable supporters who might be interested are Keith Ellison, Raul Grijalva, and Paul Kirk.

We just might show them.

(7,769 posts)Even the CNN host said that the one event where Sec. Clinton engaged with BLM representatives does not indicate it is a priority for her and she made no mention of it tonight in her speech.

Sorry, audio only. But good nonetheless.
It's all in the name.
