Weaver on MSNBC now...

Still saying they are looking for the switcheroo in super delegates... Steve K just ran all the numbers and there still isn't ANY chance...even if Bernie got his wish of getting the supers in the states he won... Steve is saying how 2008 was done with honoring the party and unifying... Jeff is blah blah blah Bernie will beat Trump and Bernie's young base will benefit the party... Steve kind of looks incredulous at all his delusional answers...

The hypocrisy of this campaign is just staggering. Why is Bernie bitching about Washington and Colorado then?

that superdelegates should go with Bernie in states where he won big, thus following the "will of the people."

I can't keep up. They change the message like I change clothes.

I'm thinking the one that resigned from the DNC leadership might not. Mainly because she is new.

They did the state by state roll call (some states passed, I think) until they reached New York, and Hillary Clinton called for Obama to be designated the nominee by acclamation.

I know Steve tried to talk numbers but he basically let weaver have all the air time to speak his non sense about polling, young voters blah blah blah.. Steve sat back and let him talk and at this point no HRC spokesperson.

...him look absolutely foolish.

Doesn't that comic book salesman (his previous occupation, really!) realize yet that Sanders' "young base" DOES NOT VOTE!

One thing they are not able to weave is the voters turning out for Hillary, three million strong and growing.
