I really don't know what is going to happen with the MSM.
My guess is they will start to ignore the Dem primary and pit Hillary against the passengers in the clown car.
That has been the race all these months.

Among Democrats, Clinton leads Sanders on who is closer to you on the issues by 53 to 36 percent and on who understands the problems of people like you by 51 to 37 percent.
Clintons weakest attribute among those tested with Democrats came on the question of honesty. Asked who in the field is more honest and trustworthy, 42 percent said Clinton and 41 percent named Sanders.
