22. Because Trump says crazy things like "Bomb the SHIT out of them" and Clinton's "coverage"

Dec 2015

was about the right wing witch hunt against her--NOT about her "campaign."

This was a disingenuous strategy on the part of Sanders, and if he keeps repeating it, it will serve him ill. He'll come off like a crybaby. A "yuuuuge" crybaby.

People aren't stupid, either. Every time I turn my damn television on Sundays--and other days, too, There's Bernie! He's on MTP, FTN, CNN, MSNBC, you name it. But he's not counting that stuff--he's counting "The Nightly News" which hasn't been covering Clinton's campaign at all, just the right wing hatchet attacks on her.

Guess what I'm watching right now? A clip from that "Killer Mike" interview on MSNBC....

But nooooo....Sanders gets no coverage. Feh and Meh.
