Wow... Hillary Campaign Spokesperson on MSNBC just now: Sander's recent Wins don't Represent AMERICA

Gov. Granholm speaking for Hillary campaign...

I guess since Jennifer was born in Canada, she doesn't see states like Michigan (wait, wasn't she governor here?!?!), NH, Alaksa, Hawaii, and many others as AMERICAN. She needs to bone up on her geography.

Said once we get to the bigger primarie's that Hillary will win, that's when we'll see states more representative of AMERICA.

Simply stunning the tone-deafness of her campaign.

I read a thread where some didn't give a crap about voter suppression either.

Amazing.

and just keep repeating "there's no place like home" long enough, that their dreams will come true. Meanwhile Bernie keeps repeating his message and 10's of thousands of wildly enthusiastic people respond.

This is the middle of the end of the Democratic establishment. THANK GOD!

Hideous Jennifer. Hideous.

So far, the furthest candidates will go is to say a particular state is "not diverse enough" when they mean it doesn't have enough black voters. Then the other side fires back about red states and the old south. Racial politics is touchy stuff. It can help us or hurt us. Right now it's helping us in general elections, but it's starting to divide the party in primaries.

... Mary Burke who got beat by Scott Walker.

Jen gives a great speech, but she's very much an establishment Dem.

I'll have to assume that Granholm shares the motives of the DU folks who say those bigoted things. She's with Hillary so we already know she thinks Reagan saved the world from AIDS and that LGBT did nothing at all in response to the crisis in our own community. What a twisted and exclusionary worldview they have.
