The media. Grab your popcorn.

For 11 months ALL that they have talked about is Trump and the republican race.
Well, that's over.
There will be no contested convention, no violence in Cleveland.

But on the other side of the aisle, there is still a race.
We will be having a contested convention because there is no way Hillary will reach 2383 pledged delegates before we head to
Philly.
She still needs 683 to reach that magic number (using NYT pledged delegates numbers, including Indiana).

Will they start acknowledging the Democratic race or will they continue talking about Trump?

Will they continue to ignore Bernie and talk about the GE?

What do you think?

That's not even correct. Vox says you need 2,026 for the nomination - it's 2383. jillan May 2016 #16

about Trump vs Hillary non stop. Van Jones was having a conniption just trying to get the panel to acknowledge that Bernie Sanders WON tonight. Pablum from David Axelrod, Gloria Borger and the other two talking heads....I'll try to find a video for you.

Thank goodness he is on their payroll. I don't always agree with him but he is always fair.

He said he doesn't think Bernie will win the nomination but 'can we just acknowledge that he WON tonight?! Bernie Won tonight!'....or something close to that.

Trump more Trump nothing but Trump interspersed with Clinton for a little variety. They'll mention Bernie only to say he should quit. Then more Trump.

and the MSM will continue their narrative about Sanders not winning even as he wins.

If Trump attacks Sanders it will help Sanders get more MSM time.

I predict they will continue to ignore Bernie as much and as long as possible.

I'm interested to see what Trump says, once he can turn more of his attention on the Dems.

Only the pitiful media we have today could turn yesterday's results into a win for Hillary and a loss for Bernie. This article almost made me vomit:
