Frankly, I'm not buying it. In case you haven't noticed, the NYT hates the Clintons.
Indeed. The NY Times cheerlead the GW Bush administration's decision to invade Iraq. At that point, I lost any respect I had for the Grey Lady. The Washington Post has also turned to tabloid journalism under Fred Hiatt.

Sad the faux email scandal gets more attention than Trump's hate speech.

And, more importantly (IMO), more attention than Bernie Sanders' positive progressive message.

Media is addicted to scandal and their corporate overlords are determined to stifle Bernie.

I am in complete agreement with the above. Bernie's progressive message is being drowned by the media's fixation on HRC's email server and the Trump circus. It is the nature of the media today to go after the trivial than hard news and the people are just as much to blame.

Most people believe that Bernie is not electable and has been relegated to a side show status.

Mara Liasson, NPR's chief political correspondent (and frequent FOX contributor) did an almost 5 minute segment on Hillary's email troubles and spoke about how this makes her vulnerable to a challenge from...... wait for it...... Joe Biden, should he decide to run.

Not once did she mention the fact that Bernie Sanders is already chipping away at Hillary's lead or even mention his name!

Bernie is a loser and Jumpin' Joe Biden is the Republican's preferred Democratic nominee.

I am concerned that my boy Bern has a tough road to the nomination.

It looks like he won't be getting the black vote in the South which is how Obama was able to beat Hill the Pill back in 2008. This time around it looks like Hill will get it.

On the other hand, like I said in another post, it looks like Trumpasaurus is going to cruise to the Republican nomination, so I hope your girl is up for going toe to toe with him.

Trump only has one constituency: angry, mostly white voters who are Republican and most likely are what is left of the Tea Party. Hillary will take every other group by default if Trump is the nominee....and do not forget women make up 50 percent of the electorate.

Moderate establishment Republicans will probably not be too happy with Trump and will not turn out as much.
