Rachel Maddow: "Tad Devine, Sanders Campaign excuses for losing 'bull puckey.'"

[wyldwolf]

[lunamagica]

1. I was CHEERING at the TV! To think she was in tears when Sanders lost Nevada

But she won't let them mislead the electorate like that.

WTG, Rachel!

[dchill]

2. Rachel is sure adding to my puckey collection!

[UMTerp01]

3. Maddow is the best

She's fair and balanced. I love her.

[Fast Walker 52]

32. uh, no she's neither fair nor balanced... she does some good reporting but is often

way too repetitive and annoying.

[RandySF]

4. Devine doesn't account for OH

Or the millions they spent in IL and MO. But then, losing is pretty much all he's done.

[chwaliszewski]

27. Except for the states he's won.

[chervilant]

5. So...

I guess all the polls showing Bernie leading in many of the remaining states are not relevant. That seems to be the way it works for Hi11ary supporters.

Go BERNIE!!!!

7. how dare she discount my vote with such glee.

I caucused in Washington State. Too bad she thinks so little of the caucus voter. I can only respond that I now think very little of her (Rachel). Any way to devalue Bernie's success is okay with the Hillary crowd. Worried much Rachel ?

If Hillary supporters can't drag themselves to a caucus to vote for Hillary I think that says a lot.
Perhaps Rachel missed the many Bernie speeches in Washington State that drew incredible crowds. No doubt she was watching Trump hold court. No mention of the fact that while Bernie was speaking to crowds for free, Hillary was busy meeting with the uber rich and charging way more than she is worth, as is her way.

Seriously MSNBC is now just a Hillary and Trump circus.

[SunSeeker]

11. Rachel didn't discount your vote, she called out Devine's lies.

The issue was Devine's blatantly bogus excuse that Sanders lost the Super Tuesday states because the campaign did not even try in those states.

[liberalnarb]

18. Not bogus. They should have tried harder.

[SunSeeker]

23. Devine claimed they didn't compete at all, not that it was not enough. nt

[cantbeserious]

8. Rachel Maddow - 1% Sellout

eom

[raindaddy]

16. Every credible journalist left MSNBC

Rachel is still there avoiding the TPP and pushing the establishment candidate...

[cantbeserious]

25. Ergo Sellout

eom

[Fast Walker 52]

33. yeah, she's owned for sure... can't stand her anymore

[SunSeeker]

9. A LOT of things coming out of Tad Devine's mouth is "bull puckey." nt

[HawkMode]

10. MSNBC

Doesn't report the news. They report a campaign narrative that tells the viewer that Hillary already won the nomination. Comcast now owns MSNBC. It's not an outlet for unslanted news, atleast for the campaign trail. Remember Andrea Mitchell is Alan Greenspans wife. Do i need to bring up videos of Bernie putting the boot to Greenspan on the floors of Congress on a few occasions. Do i need to bring up the many Clinton surrogates employed by MSNBC that are working for Hillary's campaign right now.

There's no separation between the DNC and MSNBC anymore. If you don't think that is a scary notion than you obviously failed to see how Trump has risen to front runner status in the Republican party. The Fourth Estate needs to provide us with real information.
Right now a real news story would be "How the DNC and the mainstream media is silencing a truly competitive Democratic primary".

[raindaddy]

17. Exactly!

[passiveporcupine]

12. "For whatever reason, Bernie Sanders has done great on caucuses this year."

WTF Rachel... For WHATEVER REASON?

How about for the reason that he is the BEST candidate to run this race for the PEOPLE, and he is the only one many of us want to see WIN. How about THAT Rachel?

I used to love you Rachel, but this just turned my stomach.


I doubt I will ever deliberately watch your show again.

[Fast Walker 52]

34. yeah, I can't watch her anymore

she totally turned me off with her coverage this year.

[TryLogic]

13. She now works for a crappy right wing outfit called Comcast.

[TrollBuster9090]

14. How many pen taps did this story get? (I liked it, too, by the way) nt.

[navarth]

15. Somebody's still watching Rachel Maddow?

Hmm.

[DrBulldog]

19. Not me. I stopping watching - after years of being one of her fans - the day I spotted . . .

. . . a "SOLD" sign on her forehead.

[glinda]

20. Not me. She is uneven in her reporting and boring. She likes her paycheck too much.

[Fast Walker 52]

35. yep-- she's way too repetitive for anyone really interested in politics

it's like she's teaching 1st grade half the time.

[SammyWinstonJack]

22. Not me and haven't for quite awhile.

[wyldwolf]

37. Her ratings are up 92%

[navarth]

39. wow....almost as successful as Fox!! New swimming pool for Rachel?

meh. any journalist with integrity wouldn't be there.

[wyldwolf]

40. Her viewership was in question. I proved otherwise

[navarth]

42. I question her viewers as well

but that's not what you meant.

[fun n serious]

21. She's smart. nt :)

[baldguy]

24. And notice how telling the truth - quoting the Sanders guy in full & in context

Gets Maddow tossed under the bus & placed on the BoB's enemies list.

[ConservativeDemocrat]

26. She doesn't know why he wins caucus states?

That's obvious. Caucuses make it extremely difficult to vote. If you're poor, or elderly, or sick, or just basically don't see politics as some sort of "God sent a bird to tweet in front of our savior, hosannah" , but more a "Meh, let's go down and vote for the only one who isn't obviously unrealistic", then you're probably not going to a caucus.

It's the same reason why Republicans love to put impediments in front of voters as well. Their extremists are far more committed to their extremism, than Democratic moderates are.

28. The Reason Bernie Wins in Caucus States

is because it is MUCH harder to commit election fraud. Yep, I said it. Bernie did not do as well in the early states, due to lack of name recognition, not that he doesn't do well with minority voters. Secondly, in some of the 'close' states, Bernie would have been the winner if not for fraud - period.

[Cryptoad]

29. + galzillion

[Meteor Man]

30. Excuses for Sweeping Three States?

Let's take a ride in The Wayback Machine and boost MSNBC ratings!

[MisterP]

31. we can definitely trust their faction of the party on losing elections

12 governors, 69 House seats, 13 Senate seats!
brava!

[delrem]

36. Not a fricken word about issues. All spin. No, this is not the Rachel Maddow of Air America.

Rachel has totally borged.

[baldguy]

38. So the purity test against lying only applies to Hillary's folks. Got it.

[mhatrw]

41. Corporate media and the DNC are both Hillashills.

And this type of campaign "coverage" takes the cake.

Where is the substantive discussion of the important issues facing Americans?
