If Hillary Clinton had said on Anderson Cooper that New York didn’t need ventilators and then denied saying it in a national press conference 3 days later, how would the New York Times have covered that you think?
All I ask of the Media is cover Trump like you covered Hillary.
It’s amazing that this basic fact has not sunk in with parts of the Media- Donald Trump Jr, Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner took a meeting in Trump Tower on June 9, 2016 expecting to meet and conspire with officials of the Russian government to help Trump get elected.
I wish someone would just say that Bernie Sanders was a terrible candidate who ran a bad campaign. He had the most money - had the perfect primary schedule and still fucked it up.
This was a stunningly inept campaign fronted by an absolute terrible candidate.
The NYT really has 2 choices today -- admit they blew the coverage of Hillary's email s in 2016 or admit they blew the coverage of Trump's record retention practices during his Presidency. Either way cancel your subscription to the NYT.
Folks, I am hearing you, but don’t confuse “gaps” with insufficiency. Everyone knows there are gaps because POTUS did not produce docs or witnesses. The American public deserves nothing less than all the facts - now. That means a fair trial with witnesses and documents.
I disagree with this analysis- it wasn’t just the e-mails. It was Clinton Cash. It was pneumonia. It’s was the press conference clock. Etc. The Media’s hatred of Hillary Clinton was complete and palpable and led to the most dishonest and atrocious Media coverage since Gore 2000.
Not that hard to say: "It was a huge, major story. It certainly needed to be covered. With hindsight, we can see how coverage became disproportionate. Further, we should think about why those choices were made. But news is full of tough choices and you don't get every one right."
One thing you folks should stop saying - don’t be alarmed. You all should be alarmed as fuck. We can take comfort that PA-GA look very solid. AZ too. But this Shit is fucking alarming!
Bernie is signaling he’s gonna run like it’s 2016 again - with the same attacks on Democrats. Don’t come asking for unity after that. Bernie declared war this weekend. This time he’s gonna get it.
Bernie just held a conference featuring non stop attacks on Democrats with people who refused to endorse Hillary in 2016- Sarandon, West, Turner, de Moro. Do give me a fuckkng break with this bullshit.
It’s July 8. The Trump Administration has produced not a single witness or document about the Trump Administration in response to House Dems request and subpoenas.
The House has filed zero cases to enforce subpoenas against the Trump Administration.
If I'd told you 10 years ago a president would seek re-election at 81 despite a supermajority of Americans having concerns about his age, and then we'd hit 8% inflation for 2 years, you wouldn't be surprised he was an underdog for reelection. You'd be surprised it was even close!
So Biden wants 2 debates instead of the traditional 3 and also wants them much earlier, which makes them less impactful? It's consistent with his strategic incentives, which are that he can't be seen as ducking debates but he's not particularly confident he'll win.
Bernie just held a conference featuring non stop attacks on Democrats with people who refused to endorse Hillary in 2016- Sarandon, West, Turner, de Moro. Do give me a fuckkng break with this bullshit.
So the NYT decides the best response to reporting regarding its grudge against President Biden is to issue a press release attacking President Biden.
Thanks for confirming the story of how you have decided to be biased against the President
Bernie Sanders is an absolutely divisive figure in the Democratic Party. I have no idea how he can possibly unite the Party in the off chance he wins the nomination. That’s just a fact. Warren can. Brown can. Hell every other candidate can. Bernie can not.
Seeing who’s the leading the charge to replace Biden really does put me strongly in the Biden must never be replaced camp.
Every single smug “savvy” fuckhead you know is on that list.
What’s really amazing about this stupid Feinstein stunt is she’s 85, won’t ever run again, will be there for 6 years, and actually is good on Climate Change. Going after her is so fucking stupid.
It sure seems that a bunch of people forgot that Hillary Clinton in her 2016 campaign said that Roe was on the line and a lot of people decided they didn't care. And now want to pretend they didn't do what they did in 2016.
Pence is basically just bracing himself for today, people around him say, as Trump continues to lash out at him privately, telling people he saved Pence's career by making him vice president and that Pence would be nothing without Trump.
The number of Clinton surrogates who refused to endorse Obama was Zero.
Bernie named Nina Turner, who refused to endorse Hillary over Trump, to head his Super PAC.
Bernie just had a shindig where he featured Turner, and Sarandon and West, who endorsed Stein.
GTFO with this BS.
My family and I said good bye to my father today. Every human is complicated but in the most important moment of his life he had the courage to leave his home country behind and start a new life for his family in this great country.
May he Rest In Peace.
I no longer agree. I believe Joe Biden should stay in the race and fight like hell.
The masterminds of Replace Biden are intent on imposing chaos and defeat.
I will never support them
I think it’s the best thing now for his party, his country and his legacy to step aside. But many who he stood by and was loyal to have acted like hyenas toward him in return. And others who never liked him mauled him when he was down. No point denying that.
Another 2018 email, this one from Costello to his law partner: "Our issue is to get Cohen on the right page without giving the appearance that we are following instructions from Giuliani or the President," Costello wrote.

@KellyannePolls
claims that "folks who are very bold on social media against the president" get intimidated when they're in the presence of Trump
"When they're in his company, the knees start knocking, I've actually had to pick up people's cell phones that they've dropped..."
On CNN, Sen. Collins says the Stormy Daniels payoff “sounds like an issue that’s between President and Mrs. Trump, because it doesn’t seem to be a workplace issue.”
Think about the journalists rushing to defend Haberman without addressing the actual criticisms being leveled.
Now think about how they react to Right Wing/Trumpster criticism.
The Media is not up to what the moment demands. They simply aren’t.
Let me try to explain the damage Bernie has done in Florida- no he was never going to win the state but in a Presidential year we need good turnout to hold our swing districts. We have at least 4 Florida Dem House members that Bernie is damaging with his Castro shit tonight.
It’s my privilege to call
@neeratanden
a friend. She’s a good person, actually a progressive (she’s to my left) and smart about politics and policy. The bizarre hatred of her from the “Left” explains why Bernie Sanders is a failure.
Let me try and explain this slowly to the Bernie Bros- if Hillary was the worst candidate ever, Bernie losing to her by 4 million votes tells us Bernie is a terrible candidate.
Are you fucking kidding me? I joked that Bernie folks would claim the win for Bernie. Little did I know Bernie himself would claim it for The Revolution. You’re a fucking joke Bernie.
I’m thinking of Hillary Clinton today who blazed so many trails.
After the devastation of 4 years ago with every nasty journalist telling her to go away, she stayed in the fight. She showed us it wasn’t over.
Yes we resisted. It mattered. It matters.
Much more to do.
That’s why “No Blue Wave” Bernie is now “Dems Should’ve Won Bigger” Bernie. It’s a war he’s declared. Do not kid yourself. No one will play nice with him this time.
Bernie is signaling he’s gonna run like it’s 2016 again - with the same attacks on Democrats. Don’t come asking for unity after that. Bernie declared war this weekend. This time he’s gonna get it.
Here’s an indisputable fact- 77,000 votes in 3 states won Trump the Electoral College. But for the Russian interference in the election, Trump doesn’t win. Everyone knows this. Hell Trump knows this. Stop saying we don’t know if it swung the election. We do know.
It did.
Y’all do understand we’re gonna have to win this without Bernie and his Bros right? We’re gonna have to give Biden a wide berth to do what he has to do to win because of it.
I can tell you right now blocking Pelosi from becoming Speaker when she wins the Caucus vote will be career ending. Vote Present if you must. But throwing the House into turmoil and handing this to Republicans- you might as well retire. Your political career will be over.
Bernie’s top campaign operatives -
#NeverHillary
Nina Turner - campaign chair.
#NeverHillary
Brianna Joy - press secretary. Bernie’s Brock - Sirota.
When someone shows you who they are believe them.
Tara Reade canceled scheduled appearances with Chris Wallace and Don Lemon. It was her choice to avoid “traditional TV” and instead go to Megyn Kelly who is trying to get back in the good graces of the Fox crowd. This is a very bad tweet by Ben Smith.
Hey
@BernieSanders
, we’re gonna vet you like we would any serious candidate for President.
Go try that Trump bullshit on someone else.
We will not be silenced by your intimidation tactics.
Doug Jones took on a thankless task with a then seemingly slim chance of success and has carried himself with dignity and compassion, honoring all of us in the Democratic Party. Whatever the outcome I want to thank him for making me proud to be a member of the Democratic Party.

The attempt to sell Monica Lewinsky as the woman wronged by Hillary Clinton is one of the sickest lines I’ve ever heard. Y’all have lost your fucking minds.
Joe Biden has NEVER had verbal fluency FFS!
If there’s one thing that really is bothering me is everyone pretending Biden was a modern day Cicero until he got old. it’s ridiculous.
It is absolutely outrageous that CNN has Nina Turner commenting on Kamala Harris given she is for a Harris opponent. How is this possibly ok
@brianstelter
? This is a disgrace!
Every candidate will be vetted. Biden, Bernie, Beto, Pete, Kamala, etc.
Only one is trying to browbeat people into silence.
Bernie Sanders. We reject your Trumpian intimidation tactics.
We will not be silenced.

@SenatorLankford
says he doesn't think Trump's campaign boss giving polling data to person connected to Russian intel is collusion b/c Manafort knew the intel agent previously.
"This is an ongoing relationship that Manafort had...I don't see this as deliberate contact w/Russia"
In 2020 you can be anti Trump and for a Republican Congress. In 2018, you don’t have that choice.
To be anti Trump in 2018 requires you support a Democratic Congress in 2018.
There’s no in between. There’s no sternly worded columns . There’s Dems. That’s it.
