The media spent months trying to tear Hillary down and prop Trump up.

[JaneyVee]

Yet, Hillary won and Trump lost. Congrats to Team HRC for pulling it out despite being slammed by the media 24/7 and being slammed by ads from every candidate on both sides of the aisle. She won the debates despite being constantly ganged up on. The reality of this primary race is its Hillary vs. every other candidate, and every other candidate vs. Hillary. Bernie got to fly under the radar letting Hillary take the brunt of every attack ad from every candidate. And she's still winning. K and R!

1. "Bernie got to fly under the radar"

what a benefit! you are hilarious.

[JaneyVee]

4. Not only did he have virtually no GOP ads against him...

He most likely benefited from GOP ads against her.

[virtualobserver]

6. O'Malley got to fly under the radar too

there is no benefit to it.

[JaneyVee]

9. Right, and it saved him boatloads of cash...

Only having to run offense and no defense, just like Bernie. That is a huge benefit.

[virtualobserver]

14. yeah, no exposure was great for him- it destroyed his campaign

your dedication to your spin is awe-inspiring

[JaneyVee]

15. No, he just didnt resonate with voters.

Only person to blame is himself.

[virtualobserver]

16. He never had a chance with the DWS debate fiasco

No debates and no network coverage....The establishment strangled his campaign.

[JaneyVee]

17. Oh please...

Its all about retail politics and donors, neither of which he had. You think 3 more debates would have propelled him? He lost them all.

2. The media doesn't like her.

There is no way around it. It is to her credit that she has learned to ignore it and just keep doing what she needs to do.

[cali]

13. Yeah, that's why they've endorsed her en masse for 17 years

Biggest Hillary myth of all.

[Hortensis]

22. The 5 billionaires and 1 on his way who run

the 6 major media outlets that control 90% of the coverage don't want her for president. She's a woman, and she's a liberal, and she wants to spoil their game big time.

5. So true and they haven't yet started on Bernie

Bernie people will say that isn't so but they can't have it two ways. They say the media ignores him and then they also say that the media attacks him. He hasn't been vetted yet. Look how they went after Obama after he won Iowa--Obama handled it and I'm sure Bernie can as well, but he hasn't yet seen the cruel manipulation the media often does. In part that accounts for his strong positive ratings because he hasn't yet gotten the scrutiny and attacks that Hillary has.

8. I also remember the Swift Boat attacks of Kerry, it will not be any easier on Sanders but what is

the need to vet Sanders at this point by the GOP since they want to be able to throw the socialist title on Hillary, if they trash Sanders now it will not be as affective.

[JaneyVee]

10. Yup, and I've seen some previews of how they will.

And it will cost us numerous downticket races.

[frylock]

20. You keep making that claim and have yet to substantiate it..

despite several requests. The obvious conclusion is that the claim is straight-up bullshit.

[frylock]

19. If Hillary's trained monkey, David Brock, hasn't found anything yet..

then it ain't there. Just like Obama.

[font color="white"]Sanders is no Obama[/font]

7. K & R

I have been a faithful fan of Morning Joe, it is over until they can prove they can get off of the Sanders and Trump shill run. I have heard their manager has pushed the coverage of Trump, I don't need his direction.

11. Bullshit. Laughable bullshit.

[JaneyVee]

12. Thank you for your enlightening contributions to the DU community.

18. K&R.

They spent months tearing Clinton apart, propping up Trump, and ignoring Sanders. The only thing they got that they worked for was a close race on the dem side. They were heavily invested in it. Thankfully they didn't get all they wanted. Great win for Clinton against so many truly nefarious external forces.
