the "CAN I EFFING VOTE FIRST" guy here on DU. It's absolutely essential to me that he gets to effing vote, or we will never hear the end of it. Isn't that worth tens of millions?

Not going to happen. You'd think the results over the weekend would tell them that voters are no longer interested in Sanders. He got his ass handed to him. He lost major ground in his impossible quest to catch Hillary.

The media is already conceding NJ to Hill in a landslide, a win that will put her well over the top. But they're acting like Sanders could eke out a win in CA, and that by so doing, he would have mega leverage to dictate terms at the convention.

They're as delusional as Sanders.

make sure the American public has plenty of infotainment.

Why would they be any different with BS? Those two were made for each other.

Hillary only needs 24 delegates to get her over the top.. so it seems like New Jersey could do that for her?

Clinton now leads Sanders by 800 delegates, per NBC count. She's 24 away from the 2,383 needed to win. He's 824 away.

If they can't they don't have anything to report. So they pump up the Berners hopes all for ratings.

On the bright side, at least CA and the other 6/7 states are getting some attention. If the media had acknowledged that this was mathematically over a while ago, they would have been afterthoughts. This way, at least they seem to be more involved in the process.

empty seats behind him while he blabs about a "contested convention". Then a maintenance person walks behind him and starts taking away sound equipment and walking away stuff right behind Bernie as he keeps blabbing. The optics really said it all about Bernie and his campaign! I hope I can dig up a clip.

"that's a bad optic. Watching Bernie talk without his adoring Child Army being in the shot makes him look really bad" then the AV guy walked back and forth behind him lugging speakers and a microphone and it made it look like they were taking the stage down and leaving while Bernie just kept talking....very funny.
