Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) took the stage Tuesday night following losses in the Ohio, Florida and North Carolina Democratic primaries, where he delivered a nearly hour-long speech focused on his campaign policies that wasn’t carried even in part by any of the major cable networks.
In a speech to cheering supporters, Sanders chose not to reference his poor performance in the primaries and instead pivoted to the upcoming contest in Arizona.
While he took a few jabs at his Democratic presidential rival, Hillary Clinton, Sanders mainly attacked Trump and the “cowardly” GOP senators who he said are restricting voters’ rights.
“If you are afraid of free and fair elections, get out of politics,” Sanders said. “Get another job.”
OF COURSE, they did…bless their hearts. If it isn’t about TRUMP they cut it off, don’t show it or bring on the pundits. With The Donald we get the whole messy ‘I can’t stay on one topic’ spiel…no wonder it’s so cheap for him to run.
I thought that Bernie would not do as well as Hillary in the General, and I might be wrong. But as happy as I am with Hillary’s good results tonight, the absence of coverage for this policy-laden speech of Bernie’s is bad for the country, good for the MSM and bad for the people who worked for Bernie.
Bad for those who worked for Bernie because of disillusionment sure to follow.

So wrong on so many levels to not cover Sanders tonight.
And yet they inflicted us with at least 30 minutes of Ted Cruz pablum. That’s a half hour of my life I will never get back.
