I feel that today's news cycle has been purchased

by Big Hillary Super Pac money. Seems like a coordinated good news cycle for her and I smell big money behind the bias in all M$M. It seems to vibe and go. Good news disproportionately for her for a day or so - probably at a high price. Then Bernie message gets through on days she hasn't bought the media. Am I paranoid?

They own the media....they don't need to buy it.

Bernie is doing too well to be completely ignored.

The voting is not winner take all. So he will continue racking up delegates even if she wins most of the states. I could see him ending up over 40% support in the end, which is good enough to force the Clintons into a corner on certain topics (like TPP and Citizens United). Force them to put a pledge in writing to do the correct thing if they get into office.

if they get into office again? Once they get elected, if that happens,
all these promises will go poof!
