Andrea Mitchell on Rachel Maddow

Mitchell is whining about the AP and NBC News declaring Hillary the presumptive nominee because it will confirm for Sanders and Sanders fans who think the system is rigged. I wish she would just go away.

And she also is full of it. What she was saying didn't even make any sense.

In Bernie world this just confirms their distrust - hatred of DNC, media.

This is not good, not at all.

Quit trashing Andrea Mitchell - she's just the messenger.

very happy either. What are they going to talk about all day tomorrow? Kind of spoils the "suspense " that the networks build up to ramp up the ratings. I think you misunderstood what we were dissing Mitchell about. She reported the news because she was told to by NBC. That wasn't what annoyed us. It was her "commentary" after that that annoyed us.

I don't think that his reaction to the news would be any different tomorrow.

My guess is that the statement he released tonight - that Super Ds don't count until the convention - was already prepared for release tomorrow evening.
