Sanders at a press conference....

[George II]

..holy crap, he is being NASTY to a woman asking a question. Both by not calling on her right away (the person he was going to call on deferred to her! HAH!)

It's on MSNBC right now.

[Her Sister]

1. Say more ! About this very important press conference!

[George II]

2. He's saying that he can bring out a larger turnout, ignoring that turnout this year in the primaries

is way lower than it was in 2008.

[beachbumbob]

4. How's that?

He lost to Hillary by millions....he is becoming more delusional ...,,wait until the press catches on his 2008 hypocrisy...they don't know yet

[R B Garr]

25. I saw MSNBC showing his 2008 remarks about Obama, so it's out there already.

I saw this, too, George. He was drilled right off the bat about sexism and he had no cogent answer. He was angry he had to address that reporter. He really looks small.

[LiberalFighter]

16. Some data

Sanders received 3,926,573 fewer votes than Clinton did in 2008.
Clinton's has 2,935,616 votes more than Sanders. In 2008, Obama with the same states completed had 1,409,811 voters more than Clinton.

[George II]

26. There was slightly less than 36 million voting in 2008, both a few hundred thousand apart.

This year so far, not counting the VI or Puerto Rico, there have been about 23 million votes - 13 million less than 2008. There will not be 13 million people voting tomorrow.

[LiberalFighter]

38. Yep! The remaining states only had about 6.5 million vote in 2008.

[beachbumbob]

3. Becoming apparent he has issues with women....

It's embarrassing...

[George II]

6. He looks broken, exhausted, and also looks like he's on the verge of dropping out....

....when asked, he said to the effect "I'll have more to say about that after tomorrow". That is a LOT different than a simple "No".

[Maru Kitteh]

17. yeah, I heard that too. I think he's dropping tomorrow night or 6/8.

He seems more than ready for it. He didn't even sound like he believed his own talking points on being the "better candidate" and flipping Supers. He just wants to make sure as many of his supporters still show up to vote, which is understandable. But you could feel from listening to him, he knows it's over.

[Tarheel_Dem]

35. Any mention of his May fundraising? He's usually the first to report. What's taking so long?

[liberal N proud]

5. Unless he is calling it quits, and will help get Hillary elected, nothing he says has meaning

He will be insignificant unless he turns around and does the right thing.

[pandr32]

7. Seriously?!!!

He is actually trying to influence the public and to persuade them to back his quest to wrest the nomination from the legitimate winner?
Good grief. Someone should send in the white coats. He has lost it.

[SaschaHM]

8. They've switched over to Hillary taking questions...

and she is answering them like a champ.

[George II]

10. Yes, and I switched to CNN and they're doing Clinton now, too.

[DURHAM D]

36. I love that she stepped on his presser.

[Maru Kitteh]

9. He was pretty nasty, but to be fair, this is a very emotionally difficult time for him.

He sounded pretty taxed, and defeated.

I think in the next 48 hours he will turn that corner, emotionally, and move on to defeating Trump with our nominee.

[George II]

11. He looked on the verge of saying that. Would not be surprised if that comes in a few days.

[LiberalFighter]

21. He was still saying that a candidate needed 2,383 delegates using just the pledged.

[beachbumbob]

13. A small man with a big ego losing the limelight...of course he looks ragged

Especially with reports of his hypocrisy of 2008 vs 2016 making it out in the media

[teamster633]

24. Did you say "taxed"?

[Satch59]

12. MSNBC switched to HRC presser...

She's handling it like a pro!! They know where the real candidate is... Yay!!!

Someone asking about the weight of this historic moment about to happen...Hillary is genuinely moved by that...

I'm almost overwhelmed already...will be a mess tomorrow night...

[caquillo]

19. Ooh!

I hope I can find a video of that online. I don't have a TV.

[Maru Kitteh]

29. I have a tragically slow internet connection. Rural Montana.

But if I upload it I'll let you know.

[caquillo]

31. Thanks

Ditto, if I find a video somewhere online.

[Surya Gayatri]

27. She was genuinely emotional and almost teary when answering

the question about the historical significance of the moment.

[book_worm]

14. More BS from BS?

[Koinos]

15. Check his temperature. I think he's done. He may even be "berned."

[liberal N proud]

28. Berned Toast Benie

[Koinos]

32. OMG

Put it on Ebay and make a fortune!

Grilled cheese Bernie would be even better!

[Kingofalldems]

18. He's no Hubert Humphrey.

[UtahLib]

20. Wow, a direct comparison between Hillary and BS

left him lacking.

[Surya Gayatri]

22. How ugly was that? Really bad form. The Bern's misogyny was front and center.

[BlueCaliDem]

23. I saw that! But she wasn't about to be Miss Submissive and continued to ask her question until

he acquiesced! Good for her!

Also, he's being asked about his double-standard from how he perceived superdelegates helping Senator Obama in 2008 and how he's pooh-poohed them today! GOOD!

Also read that sources say that President Obama is ready to endorse Hillary Clinton!!

[Maru Kitteh]

30. Obama will be in NY on 6/8! Hmmmmmm. Wonder why oh why he could be going there!

[BlueCaliDem]

33. WooooHOOOO! Finally! I've been SO waiting for this, Maru!

[Maru Kitteh]

34. It's PARTY TIME! Mr. Maru and I are chilling a nice bottle of wine for tomorrow :-)

We WILL savor the flavor, lol.

[MFM008]

37. The cranky "old" guy on display

Today yelling get out of my race.....
Actually he needs some R and R. Stat.

[Princess Turandot]

39. It was a NYT reporter named Yamiche Alcindor...

Some women think @BernieSanders will be standing in way of history tmrw if HRC wins & he doesn't concede. He got testy when I asked; Oh well

https://twitter.com/Yamiche

[George II]

42. Good for her. He was really snarly and treated her like garbage. But she had two strikes against her

[Princess Turandot]

44. She also tweeted out last evening on the PR polling place issue...

she attached the statement from Sanders on it, and also noted in her tweet that he made no reference at all to Hillary winning PR.

Hmmmmm.

[Rose Siding]

45. He LAUGHED at her!

Melissa McEwan ?@Shakestweetz 6h6 hours ago
Just now, at Sanders' press conference, he tried to ignore a female reporter asking a question; she asked it anyway.

43. Thanks for the link. It reminded me of the scene in Office Space when they turned off the lights...

...on Milton Waddams in his basement cubicle...."excuse me, excuse me, excuse me...."
