The DNC didn't fully realize just how wacko Chief Liz actually is. And worse, she's just about as damn annoying to see and hear as Hiliary. The DNC was certain to have been in full panic mode this last week. They had two raving lunatics, a gay guy-wife with no chance, a nobody, a rich white clown trying to buy the election, and sleepy ole Joe screwing up almost anytime he opens his mouth. Now they're down to figuring out how to control what comes out of Joes's mouth, contain Ukraine (it's coming), and put lipstick on a pig. If Trump were likable, there'd be suicides in the DNC.

Let's not forget Lizzy stated she would let a 9 year old pick her Secretary of Education. These people are off their damn rockers, pun intended.

Imo Biden/Bernie camps need to start talking yesterday about what a contested convention looks like between them.

I will need serious commitments either through the VP pick or in policy shifts if I am going to back Biden in a contested convention where Bernie leads.

If Bernie leads significantly and they give it to Biden, I'll probably just vote 3rd Party.

I don't think a Biden/Bernie Bernie/Biden ticket is really feasible either.

My honest hope is that one of them captures it outright. I don't like Biden all that much, but h capturing it outright is better than a contested convention no matter who emerges.

Also, I wonder if party leaders are throwing around the idea of giving the nomination to Warren as a compromise? Idk if that would work or not.

Could you imagine a Biden/Bernie WH. Call from security MR VP Sanders the Pres just passed away, you're now the POTUS. Sanders drops over dead.

Tbh I don't care who has more delegates. The bigger the mess, the better. It's going to be a mess regardless.

When have you ever seen a party do this to a candidate so openly? It's not just the party, it is also the media. CNN appeared to backpedal but not so much MSNBC. The dem's wanted Bernie to run in their party because of votes but it's clear he is an ideological mismatch. As soon as Bernie became the unexpected frontrunner Project Eliminate went into force.

Shockingly they think an inept Biden is someone to feel comfortable with. There is not a VP combo that looks like it will get them out of this mess.

I sent an email to an old college friend who is a friend of Matthews. I'm going to see what he says about it. That is, if he knows anything that he will tell me.

Bernie Bros are the worst kind of people online. I had an interaction with one today in person. He came up to me in person (because of the Pete shirt) and spewed everything negative about Pete that has come out in the last months. He asked me if i was Blue no Matter Who, and I said I don't know. He informed me he was Bernie or Bust. Anyways, the convo broke down from there. I had to get forceful with him to get him to go away. I might have told him to go **** himself. Rules of the Road be damned.

Good for you Zep. No matter how misguided your political views are it should never escalate past words.

By modern woke standards, one of these is ok and one is not.

Why did Chris Matthews quit Hardball?

BREAKING: Chris Matthews announces his resignation live on MSNBC after allegations he made sleazy remarks

He went on to cite his inappropriate comments about women as the catalyst for his departure.
https://www.volnation.com/forum/javascript:void(0)
'Compliments on a woman's appearance some men, including me, might have once incorrectly thought were okay were never okay. Certainly not today. For making such comments in the past, I'm sorry.'

Matthews said he remained proud of the work he's done on Hardball, which he started back in 1997.

The decision came days after freelance journalist Laura Bassett published an article in GQ accusing Matthews of being 'gross and inappropriate' with her before she appeared on his show.

'In 2016, right before I had to go on his show and talk about sexual-assault allegations against Donald Trump, Matthews looked over at me in the makeup chair next to him and said: 'Why haven't I fallen in love with you yet?"' Bassett wrote in her first-person account published Friday.

'When I laughed nervously and said nothing, he followed up to the makeup artist. "Keep putting makeup on her, I'll fall in love with her."'

Shepherd Smith will get his job I believe and I think Chris Matthews will wind up working for CNN.

Sanders: ‘The Political Establishment Is Coming Together’ Against Me

While speaking to reporters on Monday, 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) stated that he isn’t surprised that “The political establishment is coming together.” Because it isn’t a secret “that there is a massive effort trying to stop Bernie Sanders.”

Sanders responded to reports that former 2020 candidate South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg’s motivation for leaving the race was to stop Sanders by sarcastically saying, “I am shocked by that.”

He added, “Look, it is no secret, I mean, the Washington Post has 16 articles a day on this, that there is a massive effort trying to stop Bernie Sanders. That’s not a secret to anybody in this room. The corporate establishment is coming together. The political establishment is coming together. And they will do everything. They are really getting nervous that working people are standing up. And by the way, when we talk about South Carolina, and when we talk about other states, we are winning working class voters by big numbers. So, they’re nervous that working class people are standing up for decent wages. They’re nervous that we are prepared to take on the fossil fuel industry to try to save this planet. They’re nervous that more and more Americans understand that health care is a human right, not a privilege. So, it doesn’t surprise me, alright? I started by talking about a super PAC that is spending millions of dollars today. So, why would I be surprised that establishment politicians are coming together?”
