2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: BLM Representative on MSNBC [View all]sadoldgirl
(3,431 posts)13. If they really called Bernie a phony
or even a panderer, that means that they have no
idea about him and are not interested in his positions.
Did they talk about O'Malley, or did they just ignore him?
If so, they don't give anyone but HRC a chance, and that
in itself makes me think hard about their openness.
