Wow. Just watched Nina Turner on HardBall (The wonderful Joy Reid is sitting in

[skylucy]

for Chris Matthews today). Nina sure has toned down her rhetoric a lot. If she keeps this up, I may end up kind of liking her again. (Taking her off my poo poo list will probably happen --as Nina puts it-- "after the convention.&quot

1. She's out of step with the CBC.

Called them "a faction" of the black vote in the D Party.

Really?

[skylucy]

3. Hmm. I guess maybe I should watch the rerun tonight. I must have

missed that. I thought she seemed kind of sheepish and was saying that the Black Caucus should let there be a discussion about getting rid of Super Delegates and having open primaries before they say "no way". I guess I have gotten used to her screaming "rigged!" and that the Dem. party is all bad...so her more kind and gentle approach seemed like an improvement. I am really pleased, though, that the Black Caucus is opposed to open primaries and no Super Delegates---I agree with them.

5. Rigged

She said if there was any group who understood systems rigged against them, it should be the CDC. I don't think she's changed her tune much.

[glennward]

26. I don't think she is thinking clearly about the impact of "open" primaries on the black vote.

She is all swooped up in Bernie or Bust and has lost some of her thought clarity.

Super delegates is somewhat different concern for the CBC. A number of them are supers. A certain amount of leverage is possessed by supers and a huge factor is ensuring against a renegade Dem that might be the mirror of a Donald Trump. I can go along with having maybe fewer supers and having only ELECTED officials serve as supers. But I think we should keep them.

4. And this is why her political career is over...

and why Black voters like myself can't stand her. She has denigrated and insulted too many hardworking black politicians in pursuit of her cause and in each case, it was never necessary.

[LiberalFighter]

6. It is all about her getting the limelight.

[NurseJackie]

27. She grabbed onto the wrong shooting-star.

That campaign has now fizzled out, and she's got nothing. And for all those bridges she burned, she's kinda stuck where she is. There's no going back.

[LiberalFighter]

28. It is more than getting on the wrong shooting-star

I consider her personality to be too mean spirited.

[NurseJackie]

30. That's true. I don't know enough about her to determine ...

... if her mean-spiritedness is something that is innate and "just the way she is" normally, or is it something that she picked-up on from those in charge of the campaign or the candidate. For me, it's impossible to tell. I guess we'll learn more as time goes on and if her attitude and demeanor change when she's not as heavily involved in the campaign.

10. Mahalo, Sascha!

[Cha]

8. She's out of step with America and sounds like the same ol Nina.

[Walk away]

2. Shudder!...nt

[Cha]

9. Shudder shudder..

[Walk away]

12. ......

[Cha]

16. I wanted to put of

those ~lol

[LiberalFighter]

7. She has a lot of poo poo.

And it didn't start with Bernie.

[DemonGoddess]

11. I agree with Liberal Fighter

she started going off the rails long before she became a Bernie surrogate.

[Cha]

17. Really? I never heard of her before she started mouthing off about President Obama.

[DemonGoddess]

19. It's been a few years, but when I'd see her on local news

EVERYTHING was unfair, or racist, or whatever she decided to throw at it. Mind you, there is a helluva lot of racism going on all over, but, I always thought she should try and reason with people.

[Cha]

21. I get it.. thanks, DemonGoddess!

No wonder she went for BS.

[LiberalFighter]

29. I live in the state next to her and heard plenty when she was running

for state-wide office.

[DemonGoddess]

31. Same!

being part of the greater Cincy area, even though I live in Indiana, I get a large dose of OH politics, depending on what station I watch for news.

[skylucy]

13. OK. Maybe I was too nice. The kinder, gentler DU Rules went to my head!!!

[TwilightZone]

14. lol

It was worth a shot, anyway. haha

[Cha]

18. You're too funny, skylucy!

[liberalnarb]

15. What excactly did she do that was so bad?

I don't remember ever seeing her saying anything off-the-wall. She supported Bernie in the primary, like I did. And she will support Hillary in the General, like I am.

[Cha]

20. Well, we remember and we're not going to get into the Primary here. This is still

Hillary's Group and we're not here to argue with BS supporters "during the primary" about Nina Turner.

[liberalnarb]

22. Ok, sorry. Just a question.

I'll just move on then.

[radical noodle]

23. Thanks for supporting Hillary now! n/t

[liberalnarb]

24. Of course.

I always planned on supporting the nominee, even if my candidate didn't get the nod.

[DemonGoddess]

25. Thank you!

up thread a little bit, I answered it a little bit, I think. Mind you, as I said before, these are from local news stories from some years ago, from what I remember.
