skylucy's JournalINFO FOR OUR PROTECTED HILLARY GROUP --
Just a little insight into how sometimes things don't fit the Sanders "yuge crowd" narrative: On Friday Bernie Sanders made a campaign stop for a rally at a Solano Community College in the town of Fairfield California. Of course, there was a big write up in the local newspaper (The Daily Republic...published in Fairfield CA). The gist of the article was that there were NOT thousands of supporters at the rally. There were only a few hundred at the most. There were some quotes from a couple of attendees expressing their disappointment at the poor showing. Now, to be fair, temperatures were in the 90's that day. But ya know, his young, strong supporters should be able to brave hot temperatures for the 30 MINUTES that Bernie spoke. The rally was well advertised and hyped quite a bit. Sanders had a rally at the University of California at Davis a few days earlier that I didn't see covered on the MSM either. I wonder how many showed up for that one. By the way, Fairfield is situated right off I-80 between San Francisco and Sacramento. Very convenient to pull Sanders fans from both cities (along with the students at the college). Didn't happen. 
Rachel Maddow just gave a tutorial about how the super delegates are going
to put Hillary over the top and make her the presumptive nominee. She did a nice job explaining it, but she sure wants to play it straight down the middle and not do any rah-rah for Hillary. Hopefully after June 7, she will come out in strong support of Hillary. She knows right now Hillary is the nominee...She just doesn't want to tick off Bernie and his bots.
I still love Rachel Maddow...but her show tonight was......WEIRD.
She used the word "weird" so much that she weirded me out. 
OMG! Did anyone else just watch Chris Matthews' interview with
Barney Frank and Mr. Weaver (Bernie's campaign guy---so excited I can't think of his first name...)!? OMG That was great!
Cheech and Chong go all out against Trump!
My husband and I went to Napa Calif. last night to see Cheech and Chong. Second only to the number of weed jokes they told, were their brutal and hysterically funny jokes about Donald Trump. When they first mentioned Trump, a group of people (Trump supporters) began to applaud and within seconds they were overpowered by booing from the rest of the audience. After the place quieted down, Cheech looked at the Trumpsters and said "What the fuck are you thinking?" Needless to say, the Trumpsters laid low the rest of the night. I had read somewhere that one of duo(can't remember if it was Cheech or Chong) had come out early in the campaign season for Bernie, so I wondered if he would say anything pro Bernie...but no. They never mentioned either Hillary or Bernie. It was all anti-Trump...and 99% of the audience agreed! Fun evening! Very long line of cars at the Taco Bell down the street after the show. 
OK. I finally have a kumbaya moment for Bernie. I want to quote him
"Enough about those damn emails!" 
Looks like Rachel Maddow is on Full Anti-Trump/Anti Republican mode today! Hurray!
Also...Did anyone else see that piece of garbage who is Trump's lawyer on CNN today? Chris Cuomo interviewed him. Rachel played a little piece of it on her show.Cuomo did a good job going after the guy, but the man is such an incredible asshole he just turned my stomach. 
Oh boy. I got bored and ventured into the General Forum. I just told off a BS Zombie.
I didn't swear or anything...but now I'm wondering if I am going to get alerted. I ran back here to hide out for awhile. 
I know this is off topic---But I never leave our Hillary group so going to post it
As much as Andrea Mitchell annoys me, I do feel for her this morning. A few minutes ago she was handed the breaking news that Morry Safer (84 year old 60 Minutes correspondent who just retired a few days ago) had died. She could barely get out the words, lots of pauses between speaking and then her voice broke. She is trying to carry on interviewing people about the missing Egyptian Airline plane, but is obviously having a hard time. She seems to be getting it together more now, but still doesn't seem quite herself.
Sanders at the Ferry Building in Vallejo Ca. My husband just texted me. He rides the
Vallejo ferry into San Francisco everyday to work. Cannot get home from work because the parking lots are blocked by Sanders little rally. Lots of tired people who cannot get home from work because of Bernie. My husband is not happy but I cannot post what he texted me about Sanders. It would get me alerted.
