    1. CNN will be hailed as the biggest purveyor of “yellow journalism” since the Spanish-American war “news”. Congrats CNN! You will have your wish and Trump will be back in office allowing the cash machine to continue to run for you. You can cover him and try to get ratings and advertising revenue. Well played.

    2. My 2020 prediction is that you will continue to be absolutely terrible at your job. Shame on you Chris Cillizza.

    1. @Python PogChamp Fair, but no one can take Trump supporters seriously when they think fox news is legit, so….

    2. @Zionism is Racism I can tell the Bernie fans by the leftwing extremism. You shoulda hid you true intent till he was elected. Now it’s out and is going to do your commie leader in. Looks like you had better start looking for a job

  1. The line of questioning at the debate is similar to:
    “are you gay?”….. “no”…..”does your MOM know you’re gay?”

  2. CNN’s treatment of Bernie is giving credence to Trump’s “fake news” claims. You cannot allow yourself to be this biased and expect to be taken seriously. You’re driving people into Trump’s arms.

    1. @Ball Python Nah, that doesn’t make sense since it affects Warren and Amy Klobuchar as well. Unless they meant to help Biden specifically at the expense of Sanders, Warren, and Klobuchar. Who knows. I do think she is closer to the centrist wing of the Democratic Party and Biden is the leading candidate of that wing of Democrats. Hopefully this doesn’t really interfere though and it’s just coincidence timing wise.

    2. Almost like they want Trump to win? Less money for them if they don’t have him to cover. Yellow journalism.

  3. The only ppl saying a women can’t get elected is the msm an sexist dems- the rest of the country believes the best qualified person can win the election-

    1. @Russians Hate Putin Too Why would you quote someone in women studies and at a university for social policy? That is about as left as you can get of course someone like that would say something like republicans are sexist, they make their living on that. Everyone who is not far left, except fascists since they believe in a class system, desire a merit based system, blind to stuff like race or sex.

  4. What’s ironic about all of this, is that Bernie Sanders is the FIRST AND ONLY presidential candidate in US history to concede to a woman in a presidential race 🤣🤣🤣🤣

  5. A “woman” can be elected..just not a “corrupt” woman… that’s why Hillary lost, and Warren can’t gain traction, even in her own party. (Especially with Blacks and other minorities who know what a sleazball she is)

  6. CNN is about 20 yrs late trying to school us with their newfound “woke”ness. It’s now condescending, not enlightening

    1. @James Petron there are multiple videos I have been told showing Bernie supporting females for president. This is a Warren scam.
