Looking like Rick Perry is going to drop out of the race early:

#BlackLivesMatter protestors say they were sought out by the Clinton campaign online to meet with HRC.

[Churchill]

I'm sure Hillary had no idea what was happening

[Marootsoobutsu]

Shall this lead to anything?

I love the difference the pictures of Hillary makes. SPI: Smiling, happy, friendly. Fox: Could she be derpier guys?

[notorious bum]

Lmao, yeah, I've been noticing that a lot lately, not just with Fox.

[Dimmauk]

If I can't have a Cory Booker/Joaquin Castro ticket, then a Hilary / Castro ticket will landslide easily.

Pretty similar to how CNN/MSNBC always throws up the best possible pictures of black males after a killing, while FOX uses the most rugged and thugged out pictures they can find.

[Tyrath]

Don't forget they use the best pics of cops even if they have mugshots in those cases. Fox that is.

[Sho]

Indeed. Pretty silly just how far everyone takes things media wise. The general public is pretty stupid to not see even the most minute of details like this, however.

soooooooometimes there aint much to work with, I'm super bummed I can't find the pic of Tsarnaev mugshot being blown out with contrast to either appear like a white kid or a dark muslim depending on network, with infowars just turnin him into a space reptilian.

[Jefe]

Oh shi, smileys don't work. Anyway....

Lmao

I mean come on, that dude is a thug 100%. There really is no justification in defending him or attempting to strawman. People are idiots.

[Meph]

But Clinton has the cigar.

[notorious bum]

"But, Bernie will only get like 5% and bow out." -Said nearly every publication before he announced. lol

[Serra]

Let me know when Sanders has built a time machine and made himself a viable national candidate, then I'll care about him.

[Tyche]

Has Hillary even done serious campaigning?

[Marootsoobutsu]

Has Hillary even done serious campaigning?

Not to the best of my knowledge. She's kind of done standard stuff, but... she knows it's her race to lose, and I suspect her plan is to do as little as possible to win the nomination. The less she does in the primaries, the better for her in the long term.

5% of delegates is still very much in play.
