people? With all the crap that went down in 2016, why the hell were they not all over CNN like a cheap suit? It's not rocket science, ffs.

Hello, CNN, this is the Sanders campaign. We understand that you want to do a town hall with Bernie {the guy who fills stadiums all over the country and will likely boost your ratings}? Cool. These are our requirements:

Let us know what is going to happen at this town hall--format, opening, closing, etc. Please also fax us, as it becomes available, as much information as will not violate journalistic independence. And, no matter what, please fax us, at least two weeks in advance, a list of names of any and all people who will be asking questions of Bernie, along with their connection, if any, to any political party and any other relevant info. Obviously, we need to vet them.

Evening of, to the make up artist. No, that does not look right at all. Please re do.

His campaign people have seen him made up enough times for cameras to know what he should look like in the make up room. Not to mention that many campaigns bring their own makeup and hair people wherever the candidate goes or hire someone local for each appearance. They don't simply trust the msm that has proven itself as united against Bernie as the DNC was/is.

And CNN, of all "people!" The same network whose questions last time "somehow" got to Donna Brazile in advance. I don't believe that CNN was unaware that Brazile was in it for Hillary and not being even-handed as morals, ethics, basic decency and the DNC charter all required.

Why? They've been through it all once before. Why are they simply letting it all play out again? Why did they not get loaded for bear months ago? Are they secretly working for the f--g DNC, too?

This is beyond Amateur Hour.

... but I caught a still photo of Bernie. Sure, Bernie's an old dude, but their makeup person slapped on the pancake makeup and red lipstick, making him look like a freshly prepared corpse. They managed to add about 10 years to his visible age. I'm sure it was just a coincidence.

@gjohnsit
It actually lowers his chances of winning the presidency (he would actually win a 3 way race easier than a rigged corruptocrat primary, especially after losing votes to Warren and fraud) but he wants to be an effective President, and that means not alienating the Democratic Party. See Trump's example.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said Monday that he expects to be treated fairly in 2020 by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) despite lingering tensions over the 2016 primary.

“In 2016, I think I will not shock anybody to suggest that the DNC was not quite evenhanded. I think we have come a long way since then and I fully expect to be treated quite as well as anybody else," he said during a CNN town hall Monday evening.

Sanders gave the answer after an audience member asked whether Sanders believes he can get a "fair shake" in the Democratic nomination process.
