Rachel Maddow is giving Bern the business

About going after Wasserman Shultz in her own state. Says he is backing off of challenging her. After all, he did lose her district by like 35 points. Basically she is saying this thing is way past over.

We all know he lost more than a few votes because of his vile accusations against President Obama.

I knew @BernieSanders wasn't for me when he embraced the now-vulgarized SHELL of @CornelWest as surrogate. @Lawrence pic.twitter.com/Hx6WXWtIjW

#BernieLostMe when he decided that Obama-bashing in the vilest terms was the #1 criterion to be a VIP Black surrogate for his campaign.

with Voters like me. Nothing. At all. After the 'niggerized' stuff , I think Cornel should apologize before we should listen to one thing he says ever again.

Sanders put his best cheerleaders on the committee except for West who always does Sanders more harm than good.

My sister just filled out her ballot and I called my cousins to fill out theirs too. We do it on the phone so I can pick for them, lol. They want Hillary but I'm the one who checks the downballot races for them. And the propositions and ballot measures. After the Gay marriage measure I try to read them so they dont screw up.

that going after Schultz was a way for Bernie to move the focus off of attacking Hillary. I can't keep up with everything.
