On Rachael woman from AZ the Republic and Bernie

So Rachael says (last hour) that AZ will be the big state to get. Then she has on a women who is from the AZ Republic. She talks about the Repubs then Rachael asks about the Dem side. The women states that Bernie Sanders in NV was rag tag. He gets lots of people but doesn't organize right he is rag tag. She says that she asked some young people and they didn't know it was a closed primary and were Indy's. She then says he is not going to win.

They must think we are stupid out here. This was so obviously a setup interview. Very obvious, very dishonest in what they were trying to do.

She says Hillary is well known there, has been there for weeks and will win.

It was very much to discourage any who would vote for Bernie. And Rachael was enjoying it. You could see it as if the interview was planned.

I will not say what I think. But beware when Bill comes a calling.

Bernie's team should have been working for months to register people.

the Native American vote locked up (they even gave him his Native American name) and there are THREE college towns.

He may not win, but he should do well.

6. I wonder who it was. The Arizona Republic is a right wing rag. We call it the Arizona Republican.

In San Diego we got the County release on when to get your absentee ballots changed for partisan ballots, It is a mixed primary, but the D side is open.

Most media did not really run it.

This is not a campaign issue but it is a campaign issue. We ran it, becuase it affects a lot of folks and not just dems.
