Nina Turner on with Chuck Todd just now

Chuck was wondering why he was getting emails asking about her from Sanders supporters. Nina said it might have something to do with her not being allowed on stage with Gabbard to nominate Sanders yesterday. She was told by Bernie himself that she could not do it, it was very hurtful she said.

Just keeping folks informed.

At this point, her future with the party in any official capacity has evaporated. At best, she'll just become another talking-head for one of the cable networks, someone who can whine and complain about Hillary whenever they need a foil on the panel.

She was a real piece of work, that one. Good riddance.

And it was rumored she was going to diss the DNC. Smart move on the Hillary campaign.

I'm not sure she has much of a future in TV. TV is a "cool medium" "hot" people don't come across well on TV. Another reason Bernie may have benched her for the convention.

She certainly acts more like a child every time we see her.

a family member would have cast my vote and nominated me. So i can understand why Bernie did what he did. She needs to sit her behind down in a corner somewhere

want her nominating him when she made such a spectacle of herself. If anyone is hurt, it was Bernie Sanders, and what he did was the correct move.
