I can't believe there has been no statement from Hillary

I have been watching MSNBC all night. TRMS has been fantastic.

I have heard from:

Trump (live phone in interview)
Sanders (addressed Trump riot during campaign speech)
Cruz (Press Conference)
Rubio (Press Conference/interview)

Where's Hillary? I am very surprised there has been nothing from her. To my knowledge there hasn't even been an official statement from the campaign regarding the situation.

It wouldn't do to just come out with a heartfelt statement.

comment was made and the backlash was so intense her campaign decided an apology was necessary.

He's doing a great job for the Corporate state. He's an entertainer after all. What else did anyone expect when he got into this race? I guess it is getting a little out of control, but the more distraction the better for those who want no discussion of real issues.

Why would Hillary make a statement? She has her own problems to deal with today. When you turn off the Corp media it's amazing how much, other than the Trump Show, is happening.

But at least Hillary Campaign Headquarters on MSNBC didn't have to talk about Hillary's problem today.

Thankfully there are many other sources of news who reported on the Trump Show in Chicago and then went on to other news.

12 miles away from the chaos at Trump's Chicago rally, Senator @BernieSanders speaks for under an hour not mentioning the violence at all.

Bringing our people together. Not dividing them like Trump. Not insulting women, mexicans, muslims. He uses this set at every rally.

It's about Trump, and hate, and tearing people apart. But, no, that wasn't about today's violence. Its one of the crowd pleasers he plays at every show.


I think both campaigns have issued official statements now. If they haven't, I'm sure they will in the AM. Both Sanders and Clinton have been issuing statement after statement, Trump-rally after disgusting Trump-rally. Like every day. It's not like either have been silent on this escalating shitshow.

if you manage to get both feet in your mouth on the same day, then you lose commenting rights for a day.

Actually I think the number of Bernie supporters, not a lot - but enough, is causing her camp to see how they can spin it against both Trump and Bernie.

Peace
