Don't Faint!! Positive Bernie news on CNN!

This was on the Lead with Tapper. (Lol - calling him Tapper because that's what Bernie called him during the last time Jake interviewed him )

They briefly talked about how Bernie will win WVA today.
Then they talked about how Hillary is campaigning in KY today because even tho she is in the lead, she doesn't have this wrapped up! Of course it was followed up by how Bernie cannot catch up. But then they said it is possible she will not have the 2383 needed to wrap up the nomination before the convention.

Then they talked about how BERNIE does better than Hillary in a match up with Trump.
Hillary person denying this, saying Bernie has not been vetted. Van Jones (love him!) said that was ridiculous, of course Bernie has been vetted, he's won many elections in his past. No, he hasn't been viciously attacked yet but to say he hasn't been vetted was not true.

Then Gloria Boerger went on to say that the Hillary campaign is nervous about independent voters, young voters and young women.

OMG - pinch me. This was from CNN

Have about decided maybe Bernie has done the doing. The next administration is going to be traumatic no matter who blue, smile. Let clinton deal with her contrived messes. Let Bernie form and nurture a solid block for forceful action inside the current Dem party. The DNC has been so completely framed for clinton I doubt anyone else could work with them to run as Democrats. So we can maybe start a new structure and let the old one wither. I want to start fresh to challenge voter suppression and immigration reform and toilets for all and equal pay and student debt and women in charge of their bodies and marriage equality. Get these issues on local ballots.

I'm just sayin'.


Not many people in this country like her or trust her.

CNN must see the writing on the wall.

One's a super-rich repub, husband of my mom's friend. Said he would vote HRC because she'll protect his money. Another is a good friend of mine who would vote for either HRC or Bernie. She used to be a repub, but hasn't voted for them in a while.

"possible she will not have the 2383"

She needs to win 72% of remaining pledged delegates to reach 2383. How likely is that?

This is funny and ridiculous at the same time.

So tragic Bernie has had a media black out. He has run an amazing! campaign.
Historic!
