If the rallies held there this week are any indication, Bernie Sanders is the one with all the momentum. On Thursday, both candidates touched down in Tampa for rallies, and the differences were stark. Bernie Sanders drew 9,000 people to the Florida State Fairgrounds, a group that Florida Politics called “a multicultural mix of citizens.”

Hillary Clinton’s rally, meanwhile, drew just 600 people to her midday rally.

Hilarious to watch all of the "who knew (but it must be a fluke)" nonsense since IOWA.

MSNBC has become unwatchable. Just this week, Rachel spent 30 seconds Wednesday on Michigan - the rest of the hour was on Trump and an extended expose on the Goldwater/Johnson race from 52 years ago. No live after coverage of the CNN Dem debate (they offset with a Marco Rubio town hall and then ran reruns after it was over) but went live for hours to cover the CNN Republican debate the next day.

The media is too invested in the message they want to project rather than objectively reporting on what is actually happening.

Its been amazing to watch.

The cartoonist is really saying Hillary is being supported by the MSM over GOP candidates. He's not really making a point about Hillary and Sanders.

But the cartoonist is a right-wing shithead. See: his other cartoons in this thread.

The hill they're standing on is littered with all the faux right-wing talking point Hillary "scandals." He is s right-winger and this cartoon is about the mythical "liberal media" for him.

Call it whatever you want - source, link ... I saw a cartoon that I felt fit. You, however, seem to more concerned with something other than the content of the cartoon.

Tell ya what. Tomorrow I'll spend my day looking for one just as fitting, from a "better" source. Better?

I vet websites, but not so much the toons. Obviously, I better look closer. I do admit when proven my errors, so there is that.

I shall do penance as soon as I think of one I would like to do!

After you subtract the secret service, her campaign workers and the press, and the fact that those estimates by the Clinton campaign have typically exaggerated by 100% - at least that was the case for Bill's appearance at a fundraiser at the Consol Center in Pittsburgh.

Any cartoon depicting the truth about Hillary
is deemed to be "right wing" by Clintonistas.

They are a right-wing group.

Look at the stuff in the hill they are standing on. A bunch of it is crap, even if you don't like Hillary.

And the cartoonist is clearly upset about supposed rd MSM bias against GOP candidates.

Hers was midday - was it promoted as a town hall type of event? She does better in small gatherings with large checkbooks. The big rally concept isn't in Hillary's wheelhouse and I'd be surprised if she scheduled one.
