Andrea Mitchell "No credible candidate to challenge Hillary"

[randys1]

Just now in an interview of somebody, talking about her running a campaign as a front runner.

Fuck this shit pisses me off

[katmondoo]

1. I never could stand that woman

[hrmjustin]

2. i think that was not nice on her part.

Sanders is definitely a credible person.

[randys1]

5. To be fair, I didnt hear the entire quote, if anybody did please tell me how it finished

[hrmjustin]

6. I didn't see it.

[TwilightGardener]

3. Why is Martin O'Malley not a credible candidate?

[NCTraveler]

13. Did he announce? Thanks. nt.

[FSogol]

21. Yes, he announced he will officially be in on May 30th. n/t

[TwilightGardener]

22. Thought he was going to soon.

[NCTraveler]

24. Looks like he will be.

Exciting times. Some of the governors I am not as familiar with. When he announces a lot will be learned. I have heard tons of good things about him.

[Va Lefty]

4. Isn't that for the voters to decide?

[Faux pas]

7. Grrrrr

bite us all andrea.

[closeupready]

8. lol - why does that clown piss you off, seriously? She's Logan-caliber.

Paid lots to show up and frown a bit about liberalism's spread. Giggling...

[Wellstone ruled]

9. Mrs.Greenspan is just reading her

script provided by the Floor Producer. This Ding-a-ling,is a Libertarian Ayne Randite. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to do their DD on this Lady. BTW,this story just verifies our suspicions as to were and what the so called media is up to. The 1%ers are hedging their bets on the 2016 race by not mentioning Bernie or and other possible Dem candidate. These so called Pundits thing they are all set to do a Swift Boat if Hillary does receive the nomination. So many fake astro-turf groups out their,just have to keep exposing them.

10. Andrea Mitchell's husband is former FED chair Alan Greenspan

William K. Black explains:

Banking System Rotten to the Core

EXCERPT...

Five US Senators who became known as the Keating 5 because the most infamous fraud of that era got them together—and who, by the way, did Charles Keating and that fraud use to recruit the Keating 5? Brought him as a lobbyist to walk the halls of the Senate—a guy named Alan Greenspan. Who also put in writing Lincoln Savings posed no foreseeable risk of loss. It was only the most expensive failure—a 3000 position error. And after he got everything wrong in the most important issues he had ever dealt with, after that fact we named him Chairman of the Federal Reserve because we promote incompetence if it helps the 1%.

[whatchamacallit]

11. What do you expect from the wife of

an Ayn Rand worshipping gargoyle?

[NCTraveler]

12. People really need patience.

We need to see who Sanders is going to surround himself with as far as advisors. Alone, Sanders is not a contender. With the proper team he could be. People really shouldn't get too upset when he is discussed as a non-contender. That will change quickly if he surrounds himself with the right people. If he doesn't, he will simply be a great voice in our debates and add a very positive message to the primary.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

14. The fix is in. The system is rigged.

The fed institutes Quantitative Easing and bailouts. The banks took our taxes to cover the fact they lost our savings.

So now the journalist wife of the former fed chairman declares the only candidate is someone who takes $300,000 "fees" to say nothing in particular to the very same corporations that lost our savings and stole our taxes.

Mere coincidence?

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. yup, right on schedule

the Third Way, DLC, whatever name they take this week, WANTS her... and will do all they can.

Also the questions asked by reporters, NOT A ONE well, half of one sort of did, dealing with actual policy. I am bemused because they were whiffle balls, but I had somebody swear up and down that they would ask hard balls. Becuase lazy press is the one concerned with access not real reporters.

I ask hard ball questions at well rescues, and city hall.

[Smarmie Doofus]

16. No credible MEDIA to challenge her either. n/t

[bunnies]

31. Bingo. nt

17. Andrea Mitchell participated in Karl Rove's outing of Valarie Plame.

A few weeks later, I think it was Timmy Russert who interviewed Ms Mitchell about Plame because they both frequented the cocktail circuit. Ms Mitchell lied and said that it was common knowledge within said cocktail circuit that Plame was CIA.
A few weeks later, Ms Mitchell quietly retracted her statement. Mission accomplished.

[randys1]

19. We fool ourselves if we think we are not the biggest chumps of ALL time.

And that is ALL of us including Bernie and Elizabeth fans.

They may be more pure of heart but at the end of the day, this place was bought and sold a very long time ago.

[lovemydog]

18. Don't watch it!

Personally I couldn't give a flying fuck what that person says.

[randys1]

20. Wasnt, i heard it while flipping radio channels (msnbc on sirius). It jumped out at me.

I do watch Chris and Rachel and Lawrence, and I do notice the stuff they cant cover, the stuff that is most beneficial to the Koch bros and those like them, but they do so much good reporting on so many important issues.

[lovemydog]

23. I hear ya randys1.

Sorry if I implied that you were were watching that crap.

I agree with you it bugs me when someone says Hillary Clinton has no credible contenders.

I've read some history stuff here at DU about LBJ in 1968. In January he was had 'no credible contenders.' By what, March or April, he was out of the race.

Biden could enter the race. Sanders and O'Malley are already credible contenders.

Frankly any democrat is credible compared to the clown car on the other side of the aisle.

[randys1]

25. Agree to your last sentence especially. While I want Bernie for sure, and Hillary is acceptable

I do wonder why Joe Biden is given so little credence.

I like him.

I like that he is not buy-able in the real sense.

He may do shit for Wall Street so as to be buddy buddy, but this guy appears to have no desire to be bought.

[lovemydog]

26. I like him too.

I googled Biden this morning and saw a decent article in the Atlantic, from about a month or two ago, saying that if he decides to run he may wait till late summer or so. I like Bernie too. I like Hillary also. So much can happen between now and the primaries. I'm just trying to stay away from getting my ass kicked here by those who seem pretty paranoid and hateful about a presidential primary season that doesn't even really start in earnest till next year, lol.

[randys1]

30. Will never forget the Clarence Thomas hearings, what I am not certain of or where my

memory is faulty is was Biden the Majority Committee chair for his hearing, or not, think he was.

And as a result he got hours of camera time to ask questions.

His questions were speeches where he would go on and on and then ask a question.

it was maddening to a certain degree at the same time that it was interesting.

I think the guy has never sold out in the big sense, I think he liked his existence the way it was

[Doctor_J]

27. But...Big Media hates Hillary!

I read that on du every day!

[Sherman A1]

28. Andrea who?

[bullwinkle428]

29. Yes, the world is just desperate for more "conventional wisdom" crappola from Mrs. Greenspan.
