Chuck Todd basically just shut Andrea Mitchell up about "tight race between Hillary and Bernie"

[Walk away]

She was doing her usual "ignore that the race is over at 8pm Tuesday night in New Jersey/Bernie might win Ca and Oh Noes" spiel. Todd stopped her and said that yesterdays speech took the air out of the CA primary and that the primary race now seemed really really small because the general is on! He also said that Hillary proved that she is the one to beat Trump!

I think everything is changing and the Democratic party's attacks on Trump this week with Hillary's awesome speech finally but an end to Bernie and crushed Trump.

[mercuryblues]

1. IOW

Todd's wife is off Bernie's payroll.

[Walk away]

6. Who wants to work for a broke loser anyway. Time to apply to the Clinton campaign.

[WhiteTara]

27. Off or On?

She (her company) earned over a million from Sanders. Is she no longer working for him? Is that why Chuckie is not dissing Hillary?

[mercuryblues]

29. No idea

but I suspect it is. Bernie is cutting back spending. Todd stops dissing Clinton every single chance he gets. The 2 could be related, or not.

[stopbush]

2. Sanders will be an afterthought on Wednesday.

The GE will be on, and the only press Sanders gets will be about his campaign debt, his dead ender/sore loser status and questions about his importance at the convention.

[charlyvi]

24. And his FEC violations eom

[Cha]

3. Chucky?! wow..

That's what Hillary was doing besides just being brilliant... showing the country that she Is the One to beat the "Vulgar talking Yam"!

Thank you for this Walk away... Looking forward to the end of burnie.. I don't think he's ending anything on his own.

[pandr32]

16. I agree

I keep hoping to see a giant hooked cane appear from offside to pull him off his podium, or someone to hit the trap door button. He isn't leaving on his own is right! Time to take the mic from out of his hands.

[Cha]

19. I love that as I know we all would.... the giant metaphorical hooked cane. Whenever

it happens we'll have to remember that vision.. it will be epic!

[pandr32]

47. My mind's eye sees it everytime I see him speak

Aloha Cha!

[still_one]

23. This surprised me to Cha

[NastyRiffraff]

48. "Vulgar talking Yam"!

Perfect!

[Cha]

49. Charlie Pierce coined that.. why it's in quotes. Sounded

awfully accurate.

Riff~

[Surya Gayatri]

4. Heard that...great slap down. Her beak was nailed shut, as the French say!

[Walk away]

5. She needed to stop making her career out of "Hillary's gonna lose" because she has won!

Poor Andrea

[Cha]

7. She probably didn't like Chucky calling her out on her raison d'être..

Surya!

[Walk away]

11. She looked shocked that he wasn't going along with her usual rant....

but she shut right up and actually demurred. Maybe she will stop her Hillary "concern troll" crap and start reporting reality for a change.

p.s. I love being on the "Smart Side" again! That's 3 in a row!!!!

[Cha]

12. I bet she was shocked.. I'm shocked. burnie still wants the horserace

why doesn't Todd?

What do you mean .. on the smart side?

[Walk away]

18. Obama ran two brilliant campaigns in a row and it looks like Hillary....

and the entire Democratic party is out to top him!

The one good thing about Bernie is that he had no support from the party at all. They are all already on board.

[Cha]

21. Well I'm right there with you then.. on the smart side..

The force of the Obama Coalition and Hillary's Coalition will trounce trump.

It's already been written. lol

[Politicub]

42. Proud member of the Obama Coalition right here!

[displacedtexan]

33. Absolutment!

She's been gunning for the Clintons forever.

[anotherproletariat]

34. I has been very obvious to even the casual viewer. nt

[sarae]

8. Woot!

I'm surprised Chuck Todd said that, but I'll take it! Between him and Mika, everything seems upside down today...or should I say right side up?

[Cha]

13. What's Mika saying, sarae? for those of us who don't have a tv or missed it..

Mahalo~

[Walk away]

17. I am sure as soon as MSNBC cues it up, OPs will appear with clips.

Joe was in hiding and Mika was heaping praise on Hillary and calling for the Republican party to find another candidate and get rid of Trump. She basically said that the entire GOP looked like lying assholes for endorsing Trump.

The entire morning was awesome clips of Hillary's speech and praise....then ripping Trump apart for the entire week and calling Ryan weak and wrong.

p.s. Bernie no longer exists

[Cha]

20. Wow! It doesn't seem that long ago that

I remember tales of Mika sucking up to trump.. and hating on Hillary!

It's like a 180!

Ryan.. lol, I saw on the Obama Diary where he endorsed trump.. oh boy. What can they do.. he's the nominee they're stuck with.

I'm so happy for those of you who watch those shows.. you got to see great tv.. and it's all Hillary's fault!

[sarae]

35. I'm a bit late on this,

but Walk Away did a good job of reporting what Mika said. Mika basically said it was one of her best speeches, and that Hillary's done what 16 Republican candidates couldn't do – knock Trump down. I was a little in shock that she said all that, considering it was Mika.

Apparently, Trump's not very happy with Mika or Joe right now...

[Cha]

39. Oh Cool.. DT isn't happy with Mika or Joe! lol

Thank you for that, sarae~

[sarae]

40. You're welcome!

DT's not happy with anyone right now...Hillary's giving him just enough rope to hang himself and he's too stupid to realize it.

[shadowandblossom]

43. Oh wonderful!

Morning Joe sounds so much better without the Joe! I love it.

[yallerdawg]

9. The "Trump Family of Networks" wants advertising dollars.

Trump/Clinton debates on primetime national broadcasts will be the 'jewel in the crown' of network media political coverage through November.

I would expect some real groveling regarding both candidates going forward - it's still "all about the Tubman's!"

[Cha]

14. Oh wow.. I couldn't figure it out.. but your explanation sounds so

reasonable$$$$$$$$$ Ching!

poor burnie.

[yallerdawg]

22. We know Trump threatens networks and reporters and wanting money.

I bet the M$M is considering the very real chance of no presidential debates!

You can bet there would be no substantive exchange between Hillary and Trump at a debate - it would just be 'an entertainment.'

The way Hillary described Trump yesterday, some must be advising her not to elevate his status as a viable candidate, which a debate would do!

Here's the next 'tell' I'm watching for from M$M. The 'email story' fades away!

[Cha]

25. They want those debates.. they Need those debates!

You have me in a whole new line thinking now..

I hope the emails do fade away asap.. I'm sure trump will be lying about them @ the debates though.. will trump go berserk @ debates or will he try to rein in his proclivity for making a giant a$$ of himself.. the tension mounts..

Hillary will just be Hillary.. takin' care of business.

[TeamPooka]

32. forget the money, the last thing Trump wants is to be on the same stage as Hillary.

he loses any direct comparison in every way.

[beachbum bob]

10. Yep...the wind out of sanders sails...

[Koinos]

15. Tattered and shredded sails at that.

[charlyvi]

26. She is acting like the presumptive nominee

Sanders is in Hillary's rear view; she is now immersed in the General. She has minimized Sanders and it's pissing him off. How "presumptuous" of her. LOL

[sarae]

36. I wish I could play music with this...poor B!

[peggysue2]

28. Sorry I Missed the Moment . . .

between Mitchell and Todd because Andrea Mitchell always looks as if she's sucking a pickle while making comments about HRC. There's some sort of bad blood there. Not to say that Chuck Todd is all that neutral in Clinton coverage, but Mitchell takes the cake.

It's amazing how a single speech, a single political/policy presentation can change the entire dynamic in any election cycle. This was Hillary's finest moment to date and it has changed everything. I'm betting it was a prologue of things to come: The Donald's obliteration. Curious, too, that St Bernard has fallen off the map in the same moment. Any Democrat who thought Hillary Clinton would be swamped by The Hair That Ate New York woke up to a brand new day.

I'm loving it!

[stopbush]

38. I think the older press corps members who were around when Bill was president

still consider the Clintons to be a couple of hillbillies who never fit into the closed society of the beltway.

The "Mayberry Machiavellis" they used to call them.

[SharonClark]

30. Todd might prefer the Hillary-Trump battle more than the Hillary-Sanders battle

We're all kind of tired of Sanders.

[sarae]

37. The Hillary-Sanders battle isn't interesting anymore because it's completely one-sided.

Kinda reminds me of a giant holding a thrashing little guy with one arm.

[LenaBaby61]

31. Mrs. Greenspan....

Needs to really have several seats...

[puffy socks]

41. Chuck Todd ?

The same Chuck Todd who blamed Obama for not making a good enough case for the PPACA ?

" What I always love is people who say, ‘Well, it’s you folks’ fault in the media.’ No, it’s the President of the United States’ fault for not selling it.”

Was he drunk?

[Maru Kitteh]

44. Someday I hope to read an inside account of the who/what/when on the decision

for that speech. It was BRILLIANT.

Pure political genius. She shone a light on him as bright as a thousand suns and left him and his whole sorry lot with their bits on the floor, unable to speak.

[Walk away]

46. I think that it's going to shake up the polls as well!

[ProudProgressiveNow]
