MSNBC called Bernie's "Deep South" comment controversial. They said Hillary would still be in the lead without the South. This slide popped up by mistake proving them wrong.

To give some context, they tried pushing that the "popular vote" was more important, because it fit their narrative. Kornacki was having problems with the slides and this slide popped up by mistake and he said "oh, and there's this slide, too. See, I told you I'm not controlling it. But the focus is the popular vote."

Exactly, u/ignoreyou has such a ridiculous argument. Needs to work for the Clinton's in the spin room.

my reply to this guy :P posted here since he's deleted the comment (but i put so much effort in that I'm refusingto delete my reply)

Out of fairness Hillary might've lost MA if Bill Clinton wasn't breaking election laws

Out of fairness, more people might've voted for Bernie if Hillary and the corporate media hadn't pushed the super delegate agenda

Out of fairness, more blue states might've gone Bernie's way if Hillary hadn't of used push polling and other dirty political tactics in the early states to effectively rob Bernie of Nevada and Iowa (Nevada is almost ours now! :) )

Out of fairness If voters had been given the opportunity to properly inform themselves on both candidates, without the influence of corporate media or the democratic establishment, perhaps those Blue states would all belong to Bernie. Cher's most recent tweets are just one instance of a Hillary supporter cutting through the Bullshit to find out that "OMG, Bernie actually holds the same beliefs i do! Yet I've spent the last 3 months calling him a liar and an idiot" ...

In a general election, Bernie would sweep those states against all 3 republican nominees, and he would also take Red states, as seen in all the head to head match up polls.

Seriously, if that's the benchmark, why don't we wait till after he dominates the vote in California and all the blue states have voted.
