I wonder if the MSM is just frustrated that they can't gin up any drama, at the convention

Except for the unfortunate behavior of a few, things have been going in a pretty spectacular fashion, IMHO. I think they were counting on a big floor fight and challenges being bashed back and forth.

So now they are left to ineptly blunder and flounder around.

Maybe they should just take the rest of the week off.

Have a acquaintance who was recently laid off at one of the local TV Stations. The station ownership and managers had specific outlines for each and every Producer to follow,and if you deviated,chances are you are out the door,which was his case. As a Bernie supporter,he was troubled by the Corporate office telling him to go negative on all Bernie Stories and sweet talk all the Rethug Candidates. Now he writes Ad copy for Commercials and making more money with less grief.

I guess MSM isn't covering that... Or how many people are losing their credentials who supported Sander's... 800 lost theirs tonight... Including, Nina Turner. It's so strange how those stories haven't popped up. Shouldn't courting progressive ideas be the point of Hillary being soooo progressive?

The hall was absolutely PACKED for Bill's speech tonight. The reports I've heard say between 40-100 Bernie delegates walked out. He had, what, 1800 delegates? Really a drop in the bucket - and hey, no more booing!

Everything they do, they do in the hopes that you will tune in again tomorrow. They are irrelevant otherwise.

and the VAST MAJORITY of Bernie supporters and delegates who want unity now. They are scouring the crowds for Bernie delegates who want to bitch on camera. But somehow, despite the fact that 80% of Bernie supporters polled say they will vote for Hillary, they never come across one Bernie delegate who wants to talk about unity and what's best for the country and the world? Please. It's so transparent.
