MSNBC host suggests to Bernie Sanders campaign manager that they are being dishonest to supporters by saying that he still has a shot at the nomination.

Jeff Weaver
Courtesy of TPM: 

When (Thomas) Roberts pressed top aide Jeff Weaver about the campaign’s April fundraising reportedly being down by about 50 percent from strong showings in February and March, Weaver argued that Sanders being on the June 7 ballot in California would help down-ballot Democrats. 

The MSNBC anchor interrupted: “But, Jeff—when we look at the math, is it intellectually dishonest to tell these supporters that you can actually win when there are only a little over 1,000 delegates left? Bernie Sanders needs to win almost 100 percent of them. Hillary Clinton only needs to win 10 percent of them before the convention.” 

“I mean, there’s one thing to say you want to take it all the way to the end, but telling supporters that you can win is factually incorrect,” Roberts continued.

In response Weaver said that they could still win the nomination with, and get this, super delegates.

To be clear the Sander's campaign is now justifying the continued acceptance of campaign donations on the premise that the democratic system, which they have labeled "corrupt" due to the utilization of super delegates, will now salvage THEIR chances for winning by giving them the opportunity to utilize those self same super delegates.

In other words the argument Jeff Weaver is making is that the very folks Bernie Sanders has referred to as "the Establishment" or as "corrupt" are suddenly going to be convinced that HE is the future of the same party that he has been attacking for over a year now.

    Told ya. It's all about the money.

    What superdelegate isn't going to be completely fed up and disgusted with the behavior of Sanders and his million-dollar advisers by convention time? Does Sanders think they don't know that he's getting the votes of Trump supporters?

    He's is getting on my last nerve but at his Twitter troll army is gone (sacked) and Twitter is civil again.

      Loving what money 7:49? If you're saying they're enriching themselves, prove it.

      They are "flying all over the place" to campaign. How glamorous could it be to be to give rallies in NJ, NY and Sacramento,CA the same day? Then go from Stockton, to Portland, to Montana the next? Then 3 stops in South Dakota the next? The 3 stops in North Dakota? Standing out in the hot sun in Stockton, traveling in the snow in North Dakota. Speaking at college gyms and auditoriums, state fairgrounds.

      You need to put down the crystal meth if you think they're living the high life.

    I was a Bernie supporter and recognized he was not going to get the nomination 3 months ago. For him to stay in the race after that point wasted resources and undermined the focus of the actual Democratic nominee. He has an underlying motivation that had had not put the party and winning the general election first. Maybe it's his advisors and maybe it's ego, who knows?
    However, it's so critical that the Democrats do well in the upcoming elections. The future of our freedoms depend on it.

      He's doing exactly what the DNC said liberal 3rd party candidates should do after the 2000 election: run in the Democratic primary as Dems so as not to hurt the Dems in the general. He's helping the party by running in the Dem primary instead of being a general candidate and people like you slander him for doing what the DNC said it wanted.

Oh yeah, using a private email server and mishandling government documents (they don't need to be "classified"; she signed an agreement saying she wouldn't put government documents on private devices). Oh, and the Clinton Foundation paying $2 million to Bill's current mistress. Oh, and the fact that so many people don't trust or like her, possibly even to the point of voting for Trump.

      Sanders was interviewed by KTVU Oakland yesterday from North Dakota.

    Clinton's getting a taste of her own 2008 medicine and doesn't like it.

    Sanders is doing exactly what the DNC called for after 2000: 3rd party candidates should run as Dems in the primary so as not to hurt the Party in the general.

    Clinton, the Dem elite are a bunch of hypocrites. Clinton supporters need to shut the fuck up about unity being required now, stop cluthcing your pearls about wasting resources, dig in, and finish the primary.

    On May 18, 2008, Clinton told a rally, "You don't tell some states that they can't vote and other states that have already had the opportunity that they're somehow more important, I don't believe that. I want everybody to vote and everybody to help pick our next president."

      He has lost; he's helping Trump now. Any "points" he made digested by the populace about six months ago. At this point, he's just running a loop of the same points over and over again. We need to move to the General to beat a madman.

    If there are any open primaries left, you can bet your first born that Sanders will win. Trump supporters will vote for Sanders because the Republican Party wants Sanders to win the Democratic Party nomination.

    The Donors Who Love Bernie Sanders A Little Too Much
    The FEC has notified the campaign that thousands of its 2.4 million contributors may be violating federal limits.

    Bernie Sanders has become known for his legions of diehard supporters, millions of whom have flooded his campaign with small-donor contributions. Yet many of those fans, it turns out, have become a little too supportive of the Vermont senator’s presidential bid.

    For months, the Federal Election Commission has been writing to the Sanders campaign with warnings that hundreds of his donors have exceeded the $2,700 contribution limit and that hundreds more may be foreign nationals illegally giving Sanders money.

    .... They contain warnings that Sanders could face enforcement actions if the campaign doesn’t respond and file amended reports documenting that it has given back excessive or illegal contributions.

    Sen. Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign wants us bad.

    After all, is there a better place than L.A. to find people angry about student loans, tax breaks for the rich and Wall Street's influence on the political process?

    .... The committee has already been "mobilizing thousands of voters in the area and has been laying the groundwork for a Sanders victory in the state on June 7," the campaign said in a statement last night.

    .... In any case, despite his low chances are in the Golden State, Sanders' backers are psyched about his so-called Southern California push. He certainly has his fans in L.A.

      Untrue. For your money math to be true, you'd have to assume Sanders would give the rest of his campaign's money to Clinton if he dropped and people who would have donated money to Sanders would give it to Clinton instead. Neither one is going to happen. You do realize Sanders is getting money only from donors, right? You know he's getting nada from the DNC, right?

      That may be, but what who is 'the other' that has given him almost 2 million dollars? And he refused help from the DNC, so don't make him out to be a saint. You can bet IF he somehow wins this, he'll be right at DWS's door on his knees. No way can Bernie and his $27/contributors stand up to the Koch Billion.

      Every dollar that is spent refuting Sanders has been a waste of HRC resources, because her true opponent was Trump. Fortunately, no one in the HRC campaign is still focused on Sanders. They've all moved to the General, as the media has done.

    Brutally Honest Bernie Sanders Tells His Supporters That He Is Not Their Savior

    ...In the middle of his rally in North Dakota, Sanders asked what was the truth? A supporter shouted out, “You.” Sanders said, “No. That is exactly not the truth. The truth is you, not me. If there is any person here, any person here that thinks I’m coming to you as some kind of savior, that I’m going to do it all — all myself, you’re wrong. No president, not Bernie Sanders or anybody else, can do it alone. We don’t need a savior. We need a political movement.”

    Two camps developed among those who support Sen. Sanders. The first camp seems to have placed everything on the outcome of the Democratic primary. These are the individuals who think that a Hillary Clinton victory means the end of the universe. They are also the hardcore individuals who have missed the Sanders message, by placing all of their hopes and dreams for the country on the election of one man.

    Since before his presidential campaign kicked off, Sen. Sanders has been talking about the need for a revolution in our political process that would give power back to the people. The political revolution is not something that ends after the Democratic primary campaign is over. Sen. Sanders has been consistent in talking about the need for a political movement. In Sanders’ view that political movement is where people should be placing their hearts and efforts.

      He's already lost. It is ridiculous to think otherwise. HRC needs only 10% of the remaining vote. Bernie would need 100% of it. With the proportional splits, that's impossible for him to get. IT'S OVER! HRC will definitely win D.C., so the campaign is going to win on a HRC victory, anyway.

    Welfare does not create happy lives.

    Sen Bernie Sanders (I Vermont) will not be alive to see how his Socialist politics has ruined America.

    Promise the next generation a better life when they grow up.

    Free college, free health care and $15 minimum wage will end up with millions of people losing their jobs and relying on Bernie's Socialist Government for welfare.

    If he believes in his Socialism views then why didn't he push his agenda 25 years ago?

    Bernie won't be alive to see what he created.

    His wife continues leading him by the nose! He is too old and it is way past time that he drop out! Plus, doubt he'd be able to win against The Donald (IF he is the nominee?).

    I'll be voting for Hillary Clinton who can walk into the White House and due to her level of experience will immediately be able to take over from President Obama!

    There was a time when you went to a fast food restaurant the cashier would fill up your cup with soda and ice.

    Now you stand in line, give the cashier your money and they give you a cup. Next you stand in line at a soda dispenser kiosk and fill up your own cup. By the way the price of soda went up to compensate for the FREE refills.

    What happens when you get gas?

    Pull up to a self-service gas pump kiosk.

    Next go to the self-service gas cashier kiosk line that is the self-service cashier kiosk for 6 self-service gas kiosk pumps.

    Pay the self-service gas cashier kiosk.

    Go pump your own gas.

    Go back and stand in line at the self-service gas cashier kiosk and get your own receipt.
