Nina Turner on MSNBC; first time she did not scream about "taking it to the convention"

[Maru Kitteh]

She was on Rachel Maddow just now; Rachel asked her how she was feeling. She looked quite down and said she was feeling "very heavy." This is the first time she did not scream at my TV about how SBS was going to TAKE IT TO THE CONVENTION, and how the super-delegates were going to see HE IS THE CANDIDATE TO BEAT TRUMP.

It's done.

SORRY. I couldn't resist. I'm such a geek.

Made the political calculation, dumped her support for Hillary and jumped on the Bernie Bandwagon, which she imagined she'd ride into a cabinet position.

The delusions of grandeur within the Sanders camp have been rather breathtaking. Enjoyable to see it disintegrating.

[caquillo]

23. Why did she switch allegiances?

Did she think that Sanders would be another Obama and come from behind in the polls to sweep the primaries, and she didn't want to back the losing horse again? Except Sanders ended up being the biggest loser.

[stopbush]

24. She figured she would get more exposure as one of the earlier Sanders

supporters.

Hillary had a lot of big name supporters. Turner would have been a third- or fourth-tier Hillary surrogate, at best. By going with Sanders, she was an a-list supporter.

[caquillo]

26. So, she didn't back Sanders because she believed in him

But because doing so brought her fame?

[stopbush]

27. Speculation, of course.

She's a politician, if not a particularly accomplished one. I assume she made a political decision.

[SharonClark]

28. No, she shares his values and wanted to support him

No big deal except she was so damn obnoxious and delusional about it.

5. About damn time they read the writing on the wall.

[Lil Missy]

6. That's the first time I've heard her talk without yelling. n/t

[Maru Kitteh]

12. me too!

[LenaBaby61]

13. You must have not...

Seen Nina when she was a surrogate for Hillary back in 2008, and when she OFTEN appeared on Tweety's show. OMG, what a riot she and the Late Stephanie Jones-Tubbs were when Chris had trouble controlling them when they were BOTH advocating for Hillary to be POTUS. You could tell she and Jones-Tubbs were getting under Chris's skin because of how loud they both were when on his show

[sheshe2]

7. Make it so.

[Maru Kitteh]

11. I see what you did there!

[SaschaHM]

8. I wonder if Bernie is going to go to bat for her and try to get her a speaking gig at the convention

I hope the DNC and Clinton campaign give her something at 2 a.m. or not at all. Her political career is over, but her role as a MSNBC analyst will be lucrative for the next year or so.

[Thinkingabout]

10. It is time to move on and work to defeat Trump, they wanted the primaries to go to the end,

It is over. When California completed their counting and awarding the delegates we will move on to the convention.

14. I figure the BS campaign will form some kind of PAC, and Nina & Jane will take home fat paychecks...

for as long as the gravy train allows.

[Cha]

15. They've never given us any reason to think

otherwise.

Tarheel~

[stopbush]

16. Yep. As addicted as these types get to the notoriety and the

myriad TV appearances, they really get addicted to the cash.

[BobbyDrake]

17. I will not miss Nina Turner when her 15 minutes are over.

I find her to be deceptive, uninformed, and needlessly belligerent. In other words, a Berniecrat through and through.

[NurseJackie]

20. Tiresome.

[Maru Kitteh]

25. fucking exhausting

[ismnotwasm]

21. Good.

[eastwestdem]

22. I hope we don't have to see her again for a while. nt
