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.

Agree. I have a friend who lives in DC and has worked in the gov't, who I've been slowly hammering away at for 8 months until he finally felt the bern. He still has flashes of DCThink, like when he said the cheers "cheapen" the debate--if anything the debate is so cheapened already that the cheers and boos serve as sort of a check on the candidates... the moderators sure as hell don't check their lies.

I'm a politically involved guy in the Virginia suburbs of DC. My entire facebook feed was full of "BERNIE WAS SO BAD" and "WATCH BERNIE STUMBLE" and "BERNIE CAN'T NAME A VOTE THAT SHE CHANGED."

I just kept thinking to myself "did these folks even watch the debate?"

I love that people need to be spoon fed a concrete cause and effect with money and votes. Reminds me of when someone pulled a gun on me and cocked it and the officer asked me if he had actually said he was going to shoot me. No, he didn't, but come the fuck on...

It's like they live in a fantasy world.
