MSNBC’s Kasie Hunt hints Bernie ready to drop out

MSNBC political correspondent Kasie Hunt suggested on Monday that people close to Bernie Sanders — and even the candidate himself — were bracing for his campaign to be suspended after Tuesday’s Democratic primary.

Reporting from Los Angeles, Hunt revealed that campaign insiders were “more solemn than you would expect” ahead of the final primary contests in six states when Hillary Clinton could earn enough delegates to become the Democratic nominee.

“She is expected to become the presumptive Democratic nominee on Tuesday with all of those states that are voting,” Hunt explained. “The question of course [is] what is Bernie Sanders going to do?”

I really wish she had not reported that.

Now Sanders will be asked if he plans to drop out soon, he will deny it, and make some fighting statement, and blah, blah, blah.

The media loves to incite stuff. We probably wouldn't get 1/10th of the "fights" we do if it weren't for the reporters pulling these tricks.

out mentally now, now that President Obama - according to sources - is ready to endorse Hillary Clinton. When he does, Sanders can't continue with his campaign with any credibility.

So does this mean we won't get to see their tax returns?

That's due either this week or next week (if they granted his request for an extension). It includes their income and sources of income and rough estimates of their net worth.

The façade will begin to fall away, as the candidate who was treated with kid gloves by the media is suddenly exposed for the debt-ridden, lying fraud he has been this entire campaign.

As bad as the financial reports will be, they won't be nearly as bad as the circus of Sanders insiders who will be rushing to the nearest reporter to put their spin on why the campaign failed. Look for many, many "the fish rots from the head down" stories to emerge, putting the blame squarely on the shoulders of Bernie and Jane, who will be characterized as bull-headed, unable-to-take-advice-from-the-advisors-they're-paying types. It happens every time, as the political handlers seek to insulate themselves from the negative publicity that always attends to a losing campaign, all in an effort to keep themselves viable as political advisors for the next sucker who comes along.

Some wanting it to continue all the way and others saying it should be over. Over so that they have a future in another campaign.
