Yeah Cenk is yelling at the Democrats taking the establishment path and Ana basically holding back tears. They say that a populist was the way to go, but the right fielded the populist nominee.

Just don't complain when Trump does stuff you hate. This was about pragmatics not principle. It's okay, when that happens, the progressive arm of the Democrats will still blame the center-left Democrats for not fighting hard enough for things. What's more likely is every Sanders supporter blasting "I told you so" for the next 4 years
Yup

Mods just giving up on this thread right now?
Trump is going to shred the Paris agreement on first day, according to what he said.
Last time you guys did that, it took us 15 years to get back there.
Sorry if we aren't impressed.

I am ignorant about American internal politics and this is so suprising for me that Trump is even in this competition. The media is highly polarized in America. Right wing talk radio and Fox News literally tell their viewers/listeners over and over "We're the only ones you can trust" so they flat out ignore any source that isn't from someone they "trust". It doesn't matter how negative the rest of the media was to them, they automatically tune it out.

Hillary wins Virgina, but it doesnt matter if she cannot take Michigan or NC.
