Related: About this forumThe Media Tone About BS Has Really Changed Since Tuesday
Wow! That didn't take long.
The media has written off Sanders as having any chance at the nomination. The new narrative is whether he's going to be a jerk and continue to hurt Hillary or whether he'll fall in line while he still has a shred of bargaining power left with the DNC.
I can't imagine what it will be like after he gets blown out on Tuesday in multiple races.

(6,537 posts)votes doesn't sit too well with fair minded folks. Especially after his months long rant against supers. Hypocrisy anyone? Power hungry?

(1,359 posts)I wonder if his supporters still want more media coverage, if it's going to be more like this.

(11,588 posts)I just saw Jane on MSNBC and she was defiant and adamant that their negative attacks against Hillary are deserved. She was confronted with clips of Trump using their attacks and it didn't phaze her--she smiled.

(24,396 posts)Let's face it, she's been drinking the Sanders kool ade longer than anyone else. She's spent a good portion of her life putting up with his belligerence and self-centeredness. She may have well adopted some of those characteristics. Or, she might have been all excited that she would finally see a payoff for all those decades spent in obscurity as Sanders prowled the back benches.

(11,588 posts)...out there in Bernieland.
Jane Sanders spews political talking points and deliberate smears, but okay--she is so "refreshing"--??? "She would make a great First Lady"--ughhhhhh.
She fudges numbers and pushes boundaries between what is still legal and fraud. She left that college she was President of (Bernie helped get her the job) in near financial ruins--ditto for those on the Catholic end of the bad land deal. Bernie and Jane thought they would expand the college and make it one of their big achievements. She would have been fired after the details of her doctored numbers in order to qualify for the loan for the Catholic Church-owned property broke, but she resigned and got a golden parachute and details of complaints against her went away--poof. There are advantages to having a husband in politics.
She earned a fat paycheck for sitting on the Texas Low-Level Radiation Disposal Commission for several years, thanks to Bernie, and neither mentioned it publicly. She also confessed to earning ad-buy commissions while acting as Bernie's political advisor in the past, but also mentioned it as something ongoing recently. She helps shape Bernie's strategy and public persona. Her daughter (Bernie's stepdaughter) and her husband also have made money through a business of theirs.
One would have to wonder who conjured up the quick trip to Rome to go to the Vatican with the whole extended family that turned into a publicity disaster. Jane Sanders is still Bernie's political advisor, and since the whole clan went along, all expenses paid, I am quite confident it has her fingerprints on it.
She does their taxes. While Bernie has tried to claim ordinary Middle Class status, we find that Jane has transferred title of much of what they own to herself and others. We now know they own enough real estate to take massive tax deductions on it.
Much is still being learned about her. She should be vetted too.
Refreshing and honest--I think not!

(1,183 posts)It is not over.
Many people have not voted.
A reversal of fortune is possible.
The Clinton team has to keep going.

(24,396 posts)The fact that Bernie hasn't conceded doesn't change the math, doesn't negatively impact Hillary's road to victory and hardly helps him.
Sanders winning at this point is the type of story found in religion and fairy tales, not in the real world.
"Be careful" in politics is along the lines of going to a prevent defense in football and ending up losing because you let the other team run all over you. No one on Team Hillary is letting up. They wouldn't know how to.

And to maintain course and speed.
No let up

(9,494 posts)If he keeps it up they will tear him to shreds in the end. His lies, threats and bad temper are going to get him in the end.
Oh! And it doesn't help that he has no idea what he is talking about and continually proves it in the press!

His supporters might be very surprised at what he would say, if he was honest.

(5,049 posts)Amazing what a double digit loss did to the idea that Bernie had a shot at the brass ring. Now the press seems to understand they just can't continue to sell that narrative and hold on to any semblance respectability.
Let's hope next Tuesday delivers a whole barrel of bad news to Camp Sanders. If it does, no national news outfit will be able to listen to crazy spinning of Weaver or Devine with a straight face...
