Ok so revised Nina Turner on MSNBC post

I get why some may have thought the other one was in good taste. Was more about her crying and whining than anything so I get it. Sorry if it offended anyone. But basically she was up there like an angry child who was a sore loser.



Can we all just agree that this whole argument about changing the superdelegates from Hillary to Bernie when she has a significant pledged delegate lead and millions more popular vote is INCREDIBLY hypocritical. The central tenet of Bernie Sanders argument has been about fairness and things being democratic. How does overturning a pledged delegate lead and popular vote lead seem democratic. We can argue about superdelegates being fair. I believe they aren't. But these were the rules he knew about going in. You can't change the rules in the middle of the game because you are losing. If the shoe was on the other foot, Bernie folks would be going berserk. And Hillary actually had more of a case with a closer race with then Senator Obama in 2008.

I will never have fight with my conscious about whether or not I should vote for Nina Turner, for representative reasons (which are valid), when she runs for higher.

That being said, look out for the sharks when you try to swim back over, Nina. You're burning a bridge and I doubt anyone is going to want to throw you a ladder after the negativity that you espoused for no good reason during this campaign.

She seldom said diddle about Sanders except in the vaguest of terms. It was all non-stop "Hillary is the devil" every single time I saw her.

In a matter of months, she went from being a rising star in the party to having no political future.
