Someone is on the CNN panel that is probably the most amazing non-surrogate standing up for Bernie

I don't know her name. She kind of looks like Rachel, but cuter.

The panel was trying to turn the conversation into "At what point does Bernie start supporting Hillary?"

She would not hear of it! "This isn't over. Bernie has momentum. His supporters are excited. Hillary is not the nominee yet."

And - she actually changed the narrative!
Now they are talking about Hillary's temper tantrums, how Bernie got under her skin & she better learn to compose herself before the GE.

Gloria Borger - yes Gloria Borger just said, this is not over. We need to chill out and let the primary season play out.

That's the difference between CNN and MSNBC during this primary system. CNN has on actual liberals, actual Bernie supporters, people that are allowed to speak their mind without the "gotcha" questions that we see on Msnbc.

On edit - from the great DUers below - her name is Sally Kohn.

She was awesome...the Clinton surrogate, former mayor of Philly Michael Nutter, wound up being shut up by the whole panel because he was whining about Bernie should support Hillary.

5. Yes. They let her rant earlier. She quieted them all down, including Michael Nutter who is there

When he was mayor, I was very fond. He's a bit too firmly in Hillary's camp for my taste, though.

Delegates to date: Clinton 1742 Sanders 1051

They just won't let go of that narrative.

excited to see someone speak up for Bernie.

Shouldn't that be the norm? It really says something that I felt compelled to share with all of you that there is someone on my teevee that has Bernie's back.



What is going on here?

I got a kick out of Morning Joe this morning, particularly Joe's comment that "Hillary can't cough and raise a million dollars like Bernie can."
