Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumThe media. Grab your popcorn.
For 11 months ALL that they have talked about is Trump and the republican race.
Well, that's over.
There will be no contested convention, no violence in Cleveland.
But on the other side of the aisle, there is still a race.
We will be having a contested convention because there is no way Hillary will reach 2383 pledged delegates before we head to
Philly.
She still needs 683 to reach that magic number (using NYT pledged delegates numbers, including Indiana).
Will they start acknowledging the Democratic race or will they continue talking about Trump?
Will they continue to ignore Bernie and talk about the GE?
What do you think?
Why stop now? Trump, Trump, Trump.

(3,937 posts)and the MSM will continue their narrative about Sanders not winning even as he wins.
If Trump attacks Sanders it will help Sanders get more MSM time.

(10,538 posts)I predict they will continue to ignore Bernie as much and as long as possible.
I'm interested to see what Trump says, once he can turn more of his attention on the Dems.

(1,573 posts)Only the pitiful media we have today could turn yesterday's results into a win for Hillary and a loss for Bernie. This article almost made me vomit:
