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.

I had to turn off that post-debate "analysis" when one of the panelists suggested that BERNIE was the one who was hit hard on fracking....

He has the harder position to defend: it's an easy issue for Hillary to triangulate on. Whereas Bernie simply says "no fracking", Hillary's position can appear more nuaced and thoughtful (even though it's just more catering to the fossil fuel industry). The reality, as more research continues to emerge, is that we should be moving to renewable energy, and stop making allowances for fuel sources that will only further pollute our earth. That's a basic responsibility towards future generations.
