Sanders will be on Rachel's show for the full hour tonight (so much for media blackout).

[lunamagica]

I think Rachel is great, but considering the way she's been with Jane Sanders -all softballs and praise- I don't expect tonight's show to be more than an hour-long ad for him. I don't know if I'll be able to watch.

I'd love for her to ask him about the FEC inquiries, How he went from condemning the SDs, to ask them to give him the nomination; how he yells, screams and rants against the establishment, and now wants the establishment to crown him with the nomination, against the will of the people.

She should ask him if he is fine with spitting of the faces of women, AA and Latinos who overwhelmingly voted for Clinton.

I'd love to see her asking those questions...but I'm not holding my breath.

[DemonGoddess]

1. perhaps we should email her?

[lunamagica]

2. Good idea! Do you know he email?

I'll look it up

[DemonGoddess]

9. she said it on air [e-mail]

[lunamagica]

13. Thanks!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

3. Oh boy

An hour of arm flapping and the same old talking points

[MADem]

14. He walks out if people are "mean" to him (i.e. ask reasonable questions)

So she'd better step light--or have a back-up guest--if she knows what's good for her!

[lunamagica]

19. "Rachel, When we started, we were at 3%" I can't wait!

He loves to use the royal "we", and to refer to himself in the third person "Bernie Sanders this, Bernie Sanders that"

So pretentious!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

20. Bob Dole liked to do that too

[Cha]

23. That would be good to shove in his face.. he said about Hillary's being knowledgeable in FP that

"dick cheney was too".

[workinclasszero]

4. Why so he can whine some more?

The whole nation has stockholm syndrome because we failed to see the greatness in Dear Leader.

The only thing I ever want to hear from Sanders is a statement of full support for Hillary Clinton for President and somehow I think I'm never going to hear that from him.

[Buzz Clik]

5. OMFG!!!!111 All that free advertising! It's outrage!

[Her Sister]

6. There's a chance that this could get uncomfortable for him

[Rose Siding]

10. That's my first impression

wrote down thread on it

[stopbush]

7. In many ways, Rachel is off in her own little world just as much as Sanders

is off in his little world.

Of course, after Rachel's typical 20-minute circular intro to the evening's lead story, Sanders will only get 20 minutes of airtime after commercial breaks. That's enough time to give his stump speech twice.

[SharonClark]

18. That made me smile twice.

[still_one]

35. LOL. You nailed that one. There has been more than once where I yelled to the TV for her to

get to the point already

I actually don't watch MSNBS anymore, now I just stick with Bloomberg for news. Much less "entertainment there"

[Rose Siding]

8. The whole hour? hmmm

Rachel raised ire just this week virtually calling it for Hillary. I can see him agreeing to an hour, thinking she's safe for him. I can just as easily see her using an extended interview to regain her rep as a journo and NOT go easy on him. She'll have time, if she's up to it, to pin him like the NY Daily news did in their interview.

Not sure this is going to go as Sanders thinks it will. I might even watch.

[lunamagica]

11. her email is [e-mail]. Let's be kind and classy, not like *them*

[FloridaBlues]

12. if she does ask any hardball questions I hope she follows up to his non answers

[Jitter65]

15. Why not tweet her your questions? You still have time. Let's swamp her with good questions. nt

[lunamagica]

17. Good Idea, let's do it!

[lunamagica]

16. Email sent

[kstewart33]

21. His taxes? Jane's $200,000 parachute? nt

[Walk away]

25. Have you ever seen the Docs from Jane's law suit????

http://blackpearl.wcax.com/documents/TOENSING.pdf

[Koinos]

32. I read the whole thing.

I am anxious to hear from others (with law background) what the ramifications of this are. I was very confused by the fact that Sanders' Senate financial disclosure showed Jane's payments from Burlington College as simply "over $1000." Are the spouse's requirements for filing amounts different from that of the senator?

I hope someone who knows more than I do can weigh in.

But it seems that the big issue rests with Jane's "overstating" total pledges by donors to the college, in order to secure the loan.

[CajunBlazer]

38. Whoa!!! Is this going to end up in a law suit?

[JanetLovesObama]

22. I just emailed Rachel and

told her to skip the softballs she did with Jane. We want some answers.

[Cha]

24. THank you, JLO.. we'll see what she does? If she tells burnie it's OVER.

[lunamagica]

28. Thanks!

[MFM008]

26. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

ill skip it thanks.

[JoePhilly]

27. The Bernouts tossed her under the bus weeks ago.

If she doesn't call for Hillary to drop out, they'll lose it.

[Thinkingabout]

29. I wonder if she will be able to keep him on the subject of the question.

I will be counting the diversion answers and post them later.

[Jayd4sho]

30. She needs to ask substantive questions about his policies.

I think asking questions about taxes and such is irrelevant, it will just go in circles. What she needs to really ask is direct policy questions and what transpired during the campaign.

For example:

1. You say you don't believe in incrementalism when it comes to climate change, yet during the debates you contradicted yourself saying it will not take a day to completely leave nuclear energy. How can you propose a "day 1" change bypassing bureaucracy?

2. Through innuendo, you claim that Hillary is beholden to big banks, yet when asked to give an example, you couldn't. However, in your own words, you claim to have soften your position against the NRA to win an election. Is that not an example of changing your views for political gain, which you accuse Hillary of?

3. If we were to have free public colleges and government funded healthcare, how much do you expect the average American to pay in increased taxes? How will your policy decrease the USA debt rather than increasing it?

4. You have said several times in your life how you don't believe in the democratic party and your beliefs do not align with the party and as early as 2015 you confess to using the party for media exposure. In addition, you refuse to raise money for down ballot democrats and criticize Hillary for doing so..why are you running as a democrat?

5. You claim from the get go that your campaign will be only about issues/policies, Why has your campaign change from expressing progressive ideas to maligning the character of Ms. Clinton?

6. The DNC has NEVER gone against the will of the people. In fact, during the 2008 primaries Hillary won several states at the last stretch and actually won the popular vote ahead of Obama. Now, Weaver tells us that he will use that "momentum" argument and turn superdelegates against Clinton. Why do you think the DNC should break their long standing rule and go against the nominee with the most pledge delegates and the most votes (including Trump)?
Bernie will say "the polls" and hypotheticals- Then Rachel can ask, is it not true that Hillary has been vetted for 25 years and her character has been attacked by the republicans and recently your very own campaign relentlessly? You are new to the public arena and have not been vetted regarding your policies and affiliations. As such, is it not true that hypothetical general elections polls are irrelevant?

7. How do you feel that your stump speech against Hillary is being used by Trump? How do you feel that Trump wants you to run as an independent to simply divide the party?

[Koinos]

33. All good questions. Go ahead and email them to Rachel.

[Jayd4sho]

39. [e-mail] does not work/inactive

=(..I don't do any form of social media.

[lunamagica]

37. Great post! Please, email her these questions!

[BootinUp]

31. If she softballs him, I will do something I rarely do and write an email to her

to express my extreme displeasure.

[savalez]

40. Write it to her now

and demand she play hardball!

[e-mail]

[BootinUp]

41. seems doubtful it will be read b4 the show

[savalez]

45. Earlier

there was a call here to email her and many did. Hopefully she saw the uptick on emails asking for a real interview..

[savalez]

34. Gee, I wonder what Bernie will be whining about this time?

Since that's all he does. This comment from another website sums him up perfectly.

Does Bernie EVER stop complaining? He uses people, insults them and throws them to the dogs when they don't bow at his feet, refuses to even commit to the party if he isn't the nominee, provides the opposition with their key talking points, encourages his supporters to be as nasty as possible and then whines incessantly about how other people aren't being fair.

[DesertRat]

36. It's amusing when people say there's a media blackout on Sanders

Jane is a fixture on all the MSNBC shows and tonight BS is getting the full hour on Rachel.

[grossproffit]

42. I can no longer stand to look at him or listen to him.

The money laundering accusation was it for me.

[Tarheel_Dem]

43. And, per usual, I'll be skipping it. n/t

[SaschaHM]

44. I want her to ask him...

How does he expect African Americans, women and Latinos to show up for him in November when the only way that he will become the nominee is by throwing out their vote?

[Starry Messenger]

46. Good night to catch up on recorded shows.

Amy Schumer and Samantha Bee night.

[Lucinda]

47. I hope someone who watches will do a play by play for us! n/t
