Andrea Mitchell is crying for Bernie. She just said that this proves the system is rigged!!!

She hates Hillary so much she is making herself sound like an idiot. The DNC had nothing to do with the AP calling this race.

Andrea, I hope you aren't counting on ever getting an interview with President Hillary Clinton. Enjoy your career as Bernie Sanders press agent!

suppress a story?

Note to Mitchell: no one is prohibited from voting by this story. Adults will get themselves to the polls regardless.

just because a candidate wanted it that way. It feels like the whole country is walking on eggshells just for Bernie (or at least Andrea Mitchell!).

We are celebrating history being made. And the process by which we members of the Democratic Party choose our candidate has not changed in many decades.

You all are insulting Andrea Mitchell acting like Bernie babies - that's what's disgusting.
Someone calls her a twat - that's fucked up.

Hillary isn't happy about this either

waiting to vote in 88 - when Dan Rather comes on the TV and says Reagan won.

So many people including myself left the polling place in disgust.

In the EARLY evening when Reagan was declared the winner of the 1980 presidency.

We all knew Carter was going to lose big due to The October Surprise, the Morning In America Campaign, and of course it's rumored he also had tons of astrological help/advice coming from astrologer Joan Quigly.

Thinking about that night STILL makes me ill

But that Hillary has 3 million more vote and is ahead in pledged delegates. She didn't sound happy about it for sure, but fair is fair.

Andrea Mitchell has a pathological hatred for Hillary Clinton. I wonder what the story behind it is - that's crazy levels of hatred and bias.

check out this ridiculous post. from the Berners who have done nothing but be rude, arrogant asses for a year now.

"It's getting way way ugly over there in GD.

They don't seem to care about winning the damn election. It's more about getting payback with them.

If the situation were reversed, I know in my heart that none of us would be acting like that."

...very sad for Andrea Mitchell. Her reporting about Hillary, the AP call, and super-delegates sounds like the whole idea is new. I'm dumbfounded. For a woman with Ms. Mitchell's background, this could portend a serious health problem. Let's hope she gets treatment, if needed, and enjoys many years in retirement. Maybe she should turn off the news, as Hillary's upcoming Presidency might be too unsettling.

I can understand the devastation of some Sanders supporters who truly believed in their candidate. I frankly am irked at the timing of the AP announcement even though I love the substance.

I would have preferred that AP had held off the announcement until after today's primaries were over. But that was not to be. That may actually have been their original intention but they may have feared a leak or something.

But for Mitchell - the embodiment of shoddy establishment journalism - who apparently doesn't do her homework, to claim that the system was rigged against Bernie is not only false but ridiculously so.
