Joe Scarborough: Democratic Primary Is Rigged

[@TheCloveart]

Crazy how Ben threw a little shade John's way... 14:20 "not that well, apparently." Kind of a dick move, Ben.

[@LastTestament]

+TheCloveart Ben is a hillary shill, look at his parents.

[@Sing620hff]

Yeah she'd be ahead but not by 2.4 million fukin votes Ben.

[@mquijada6276]

Don't know why I found that part funny lol

[@Spencer-sb7yd]

+TheCloveart Ben, shill for hill and also apparently a snotty child.

[@AdamTebbe]

+Spencer Fain He's that guy everyone knew in school who THOUGHT he was smartest in the room. People who don't know any better come in these comments to echo that (possibly Ben sock-puppets lol).

[@nycnhb]

Ben should be ashamed of himself for being an apologist for Super Delegates.

[@TheRLification]

Ben, you're right that Bernie would be way behind if they were all primaries but if they were all OPEN primaries, that would be a different story.

[@kjhuang]

1. Boy did Ben miss the point. The point is that the superdelegates ARE the "rigged" part!!! So saying that's it's inaccurate to report the 11-7 count as if that were the real count... yes, that's the point they're making!! 2. Wyoming was not a primary as Ben said; it was a caucus. 3. If you're gonna argue that Bernie only does well because of caucuses, then on the flip side I can say that Hillary is only doing as well as she is because she got a decent start with the Iowa CAUCUS (Bernie may well have won the popular vote there but we'll never know) and then she got a boost with the Nevada CAUCUS. Whereas Bernie's crushing wins in the last several caucuses appear to be giving him no momentum going into New York. So it cuts both ways.

[@TheUltimateRage]

+Kenneth Huang Add on top of that the fact that SOOOOOO many people's registration status have been magically switched, preventing them from even being able to vote in closed primaries, super early voter registration deadlines like in NY (deadline was in OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR!!!), the media giving Bernie such little coverage compared to all the other candidates, Bill Clinton's electioneering, oh, and that pesky little incident of Voter *FRAUD* that happened in AZ. This whole entire election has been rigged from the start!

[@kjhuang]

+nmryda Yup, definitely all those issues need to be discussed more, including at the debates.

[@mango4ttwo635]

Ben's outrage is just a symptom of his utter bias. Fine, you want Clinton to win. But to attempt to justify this and call out Scarborough for misreporting is fatuous

[@sademiranda3722]

6 months later, they think it's ridiculous if Trump says the same thing.

[@nath8282]

even after video proof, with democrat contractors getting fired, confessing to this and voter fraud. Amazing.

[@MrtrapLive]

Was definitely rigged

[@djrandyp9226]

Ben's ability to start an argument and the hold on to every piece of it as its falling apart while John debunks it is unprecedented, all the while not really answering Anna's question. Ben Blows. In the way a republican debate can be funny or suck the life out of you and turn you off from politics, that's what Ben does. Clean up, go home.

[@crocopde]

OMG holy shit this is insane. So much corruption.

[@LouisMenotti]

Rigged!

[@iNexTTx]

Rigged!

[@ferasalhati8713]

[@thebigphenom]

+Matthew Savoy m8 you just said it lol. don't play yourself!

[@bft_neelix3862]

+Matthew Savoy Well, lets see, I majored in political science, been following politics since age 16. I'm 31 now. I'm not new, but I'm saying rigged. Uhh.. he beats her by over 10 points, she loses decisively and somehow gets MORE delegates than he does? Invest in a dictionary rig2riɡ/verbpast tense: rigged; past participle: riggedmanage or conduct (something) fraudulently so as to produce a result or situation that is advantageous to a particular person.

[@luisf7105]

+Matthew Savoy BULLSHIT!

[@petersz98]

What's wrong with one man , one vote? No delegates, no super delegates!

[@lastguyminn2324]

I'm struggling to come to terms with the fact that I agreed with Joe Scarborough for 20 seconds.

[@williamolsen20]

The problem with the super delegates is that from what I understand Hillary garnered their votes long before the election, and it seems undemocratic to me. I have known about super delegates for a long time. I will still vote I am not ever going to stop voting, but I can understand why people feel their vote does not matter. Maybe super delegates have historically not effected elections, but they are now probably the reason Trump got elected.

[@veronikatothova2307]

How can be America called DEMOCRATIC ??? I just don't understand .

[@hatchibyebye]

Officially TIRED of Ben now.

[@MobiusPeverell]

"If Wyoming was a caucus?" Wyoming was a caucus, Ben...

[@TJPancakes]

Congrats Ben you completely changed the topic away from a corrupt system to talking about how bernie is losing.

[@ClintDenman37]

12:28 Ben calls Wyoming a Primary when it was a caucus.... and then throws shade about not paying attention to politics at 14:18.... The audacity is astounding..

The guy in the middle is a Hillary voter through and through. Wants to get a point across, so he does it by being the biggest dick on the planet and not even really explaining himself. Then he childishly insults him after they've moved on showing that being a smug dickbag was more important to him than actually educating anyone or getting anything done. Same as what they're doing across the nation to bernie supporters.

[@vprlac]

I like it when Ben is with them,he calls out all bias crap they like to fly arround

[@sonyipod]

AGREE

[@AdamTebbe]

+Vedran Prlac Nah. He is intolerant of dissent, arrogant and comes off as a know-it-all. His personality is like a scraping sound on a chalkboard. He's always advocating a lower standard of ethics in politics and subtly supports the establishment.

[@Ackeeglock]

+sonyipod So true. I love this channel but they complain about other's biases when they are completely bias. At least they recognize they are.

[@Rosannasfriend]

Too bad he was wrong . Just because super delegates have always been there doesn't make it ok and Hillary is winning not just because she does better in primaries but because states that favor her went first .

[@THEEVANTHETOON]

+Vedran Prlac I mean, it's nice that there's a contrary opinion the panel, but most of the time, he seems to be grasping at straws to come up with a coherent argument.

[@jamieg2427]

Ben's "Not that well, apparently" insult to John at 14:21 was unprofessional and disgraceful. I expect a public apology. I agree with Ben's point here and feel John was being completely unrealistic. Even so, Ben speaks of no one taking the higher ground. How true, Ben; you really showed us how low the lower ground goes. It's exceedingly rare that I post to KZbin, but this *really* rubbed me the wrong way.

[@ClayTortoise]

+James G You're watching TYT man, these are real people having a real debate. Disagreements are imminent and emotions are expected to come into effect. John knows this and Ben knows this so don't be so dramatic.

[@r1xx0n]

+Lachlan Evans-McKenzie You lose credibility in an argument when u get emotional like Ben did. I agree with James, it's honestly unprofessional. Arguing is normal, passive aggressive comments like that are childish.

[@Rosannasfriend]

Right, he was letting his frustration control his reactions to John.

[@ClayTortoise]

***** Alright yeah, and they probably had that conversation off camera. But a public apology? He's not apologising to you. Jeez, there are so many more important things to be talking about than some fleeting slanderous comment.

[@thatsnotagoodidea]

New York Please show up and vote for Bernie. The small states said yes Bernie. You are big give us a hand.

[@DylanDaVillian1]

I live in NY and I know a lot of Bernie supporters, he's pulling crowds all over the state. He's down in the polls but I think he should do well. There's currently a bill in the NY Senate that would make NY an open primary.

[@thatsnotagoodidea]

DylanDaVillian I was at the Idaho caucus. In ADA county it was the largest caucus in the History of the Republic. I was there for 9 hours. We had lines going over city blocks. Do not give up and do not give in!

[@Herb615]

The "These are the rules" remark at 1:43 made me cringe. It's basically the same argument anyone makes whenever they have absolutely no argument in defending the status quo.

[@andreaskarlsson5251]

+Herb615 To be fair to him(and Im completely against these rules) he did say that he didnt like them either and that only the president could change them(dunno if thats true?)

[@DeanOnRS]

14:22 "Not that well apparently." Ben throwing his toys out of his pram because John questioned his point of view? Childish and unnecessary comment. I believe an apology should be made to John.

[@Savannah-]

It's time to get rid of superdelegates.

[@Allen1773]

[@probusexcogitatoris736]

[@NormanZealandMalana]

This is disgusting. I am perplexed americans don't violently protest on a near-constant basis.

[@TheMegalusDoomslayer]

Why is Ben prone to having aneurysms?

[@squreshi8413]

Props to John for keeping his mouth shut at the end. Sometimes it's better to sit back and let ppl mess themselves up. That last comment was SO unprofessional, if Cenk was here he would've kept all these ppl in line

[@TCt83067695]

[@markdavey8142]

You can try all you want to explain this away... the important thing is that Democrat party is disintegrating.

[@starlock11]

[@JeffandTaylorComic]

Prove Ben wrong, NY! Have Bernie win your Primary April 19th!!

[@SirHatchporch]

Every time I see Ben on the show now he's yelling at the other anchors. Getting tired of it. The primary night where he and Cenk were going at it was downright embarrassing.

[@AchAPart]

Ben is always so angry, and always so wrong

[@deveousdevil]

+Lyon Knyght i can't stand him. he always interrupts, is always condescending and is so frequently wrong or ignorant on the story.

[@buddhika216]

[@aaronhoff3280]

I think it's time for TYT to release Ben from his contract (assuming he has one). He stated, "not that well apparently" to Jon's comment about research, which was incredibly rude and condescending. I'm tired of his attitude, and if I was Jon I be extremely pissed.

[@TheLakers2423]

+Aaron Hoff i agree

[@Ragitsu]

Ben went nuclear assole. Holy shit.

[@PureMagma]

Great summary statement by Ben at 13:30 ...BUT up until that point Ben made this segment nearly unbearable to watch because he was making noise and not letting John make his points. I think this is supposed to be journalism, if I want to watch people stomp on other people's dialog I'd watch daytime soap operas or Judge Judy.

[@CampingforCool41]

I don't mind Ben giving counterpoints but damn, at the end when he goes "not that well apparently" to John saying he researches and pays attention- that was really rude. I would have been pissed. Get off your high horse man.

[@derekdu7250]

+CampingforCool41 i know, i thought all three of them contributed a lot to the discussion. but ben lost me there. like wtf?

[@DerekAtHome]

+CampingforCool41 On numerous occasions Ben has gone beyond just disagreement to flat out ad-hominem attacks. Cenk needs to seriously make him cut that stuff out. Disagreement is one thing but personal attacks have no place on a show that considers itself a professional journalism show.

[@JosephNordenbrockartistraction]

Never ever give in to not voting.

[@doctormeatball7618]

Why? Practically speaking, the lone upshot to voting is landing on jury duty. People crying about superdelegates overlook the entrenched futility of an electoral college. Or the Bush/Gore decision. I'd rather see a voter turnout under 10%. When 9 out of 10 people say No, change will begin.

[@DocBenson]

[@SubiyaCryolite]

[@MegaLuke8]

"Not that well apparently" uncalled for Ben..

[@HannahGK]

The superdelegate system is completely undemocratic. Ben's argument that Bernie Sanders entered the system knowing that superdelegates exist doesn't mitigate the problem at all - what other system could he have entered? Also, just because Scarborough is wrong on many issues and hypocritical, that doesn't mean he's not correct here. It's ironic, because Ben is usually the one to point out that most human beings are hypocrites. Ana and John should be more strident in calling out Ben's BS on this issue. Just because he's older than you, it doesn't mean you have to be reserved when he rants.

[@gregbertana7293]

+Hannah G-K he saying if Bernie did not like the Dems rules he should of never ran on a democratic platform is all Ben is saying. You Bernie supporters act like it is so unfair , Cause of the super delegates. Well the super delegates do not mean anything unless It was closer delegate race. As far as Hillary having more votes it is cause she has won more primary and Bernie is only really winning caucus. If he was winning primary he would be tied with Hillary by now. All primary should be close and all states should do primary just to make it more simple and fair.

[@HannahGK]

dragon heart I heard what Ben said and my point stands. When the platform itself is broken, you should address how it is broken. You don't say: "well, you could have stood on another platform" when we all know there isn't really another platform to stand on! If you're not Republican or Democrat, it's obvious you don't have a hope in the Presidential election. If superdelegates do not matter, why do they even exist? Superdelegates are undemocratic because they give elites more of a say than ordinary people. And each time superdelegates are declared, they lead potential voters to think the lead is insurmountable, which makes them think their votes are pointless, which could suppress the vote. P.S. It's funny being called a Bernie supporter after all these months I've been called a Hillary supporter.

[@gshooting]

They're reserved because they have no argument to counter Ben with.

[@gregbertana7293]

Hannah G-K the super delegates are there to protect the party from out side source. like a independent running as a dem. That is there only function why they do not really matter in any normal circumstances. Well normally its the Bernie supporters whining about the super delegates is why i assumed you were one of his supporter .

[@gregbertana7293]

[@ashanticrawford6033]

I have 2 degrees from 2 private, top-tier institutions and I still don't understand his breakdown of how superdelegates work.

[@willdrucker4291]

quite simple...Superdelegates are politicians and lobbyists who pledge support to a candidate more aligned with their own ideologies...in the case of Clinton, MONEY...it's all about the Special Interest groups and the big bucks...thus Bernie's argument that Superdelegates pledged support to Clinton LONGGGG before the primaries even began....In short, Bernie was screwed before the primaries even began!!!...he should run as a third party candidate and win!!

I am in no means defending Ben either. His thought process has traces of ADD. He struggles to stay on topic.

[@BobRadu]

Ben is totally wrong here. The point isn't that the math is flawed, which he seems to be suggesting that they are implying by not including the super-delegates footnote, the point is that the super-delegate system itself is ridiculous and, of course, the people in Wyoming should feel slighted that 56% support Bernie Sanders, yet, 61% of the delegates went to Clinton. I agree, as a voter in Wyoming I would absolutely feel that it doesn't matter who I vote for. Of course, super-delegates can switch, but even so, it makes the whole thing feel less democratic. And the argument of "those are the rules", or "he knew the rules when he joined the race" is an absolutely asinine argument. Why don't you tell that to Cenk who is protesting campaign finance? I mean, those are the rules today, everybody knows those are the rules, what is Cenk complaining about?

[@ex0duzz]

John: "I have to research it!" Ben: "Not that well apparently.." Cmon Ben, no need for that low blow shit, and also saying it in the middle of Anna's rant(she was making a point unrelated to their argument) just when the video is about to end? Props to John for not taking the bait and move it back to their argument while Anna was making her own point about something else. Ben got crushed by John since he didn't even know what John was taking issue with, and then he tried to play it off by bringing up some stats that John didn't know off the top of his head which while related to the issue, it wasn't a rebuttal of Johns opinion about the system, so i guess that would maybe be a straw man..? Ben Ben Ben.. just when i was starting to like you more after initially disliking his personality and political stance.. but don't worry. You're not as bad as the other dude still.. Michael Shure(sp?), but yeah. He would be riding Hillary/Establishment Democrats ball so hard right about now if he was part of this discussion. He makes some interesting points now and then since he represents an 'intelligent' supporter of the 'other side'(ie Hillary/Obama etc) and of the system as a whole, but i just find him annoying for the most part.

[@Gyeseongyeon]

They also seemed to agree with Sanders on a number of his points, including healthcare and the rigged economic system.

Ben was great in the first half when they were talking about Morning Joe, but very frustratingly completely missed the point that John was trying to make about Hillary's disingenuity when saying that she has more votes. What's so hard to understand about "she's intentionally misrepresenting the truth by saying this"? Yes, she would be ahead in the numbers, but not by the 2.4 million votes that she's claiming she is.

+Nicholas Vanpraag I don't like watching an argument either, and it was Ben who was being the asshole. Not because he doesn't agree, but just the way he shouts down those who have differing opinions and acts all high and mighty.

[@DerekAtHome]

+Knolltop Farms Yeah it is kind of becoming his MO. I get that he needs to challenge the massive Bernie support , and I like that, but these attacks have got to stop. Serious quality control issue.

[@KnolltopFarms]

Derek Cormier I agree that a counter-balance is necessary, I just don't enjoy the hostility or vitriol. I am here to be educated primarily, and yelling has always just turned off my capacity to learn.

[@StoneyPrimate]

Ben has a hard time with opinions that differ from his own, he's so condescending. Evidence is at 14:20.

[@helloed294]

I like Ben a lot but the snide comment to John was totally unnessasary.

[@ourevilone]

+helloed294 yeah that last comment about basically John doesn't research the election that well was horrible. I get those comments at my job and I have to punch them in the face (in my mind)

[@michaeldesouza5917]

+helloed294 indeed!

[@soccerguy325]

+helloed294 What snide comment?

[@MrInuhanyou123]

Morning Joe has been extremely fair to Bernie this whole cycle. I know TYT has a huge chip on their shoulder about Morning Joe, but they have consistently been on the side of Bernie for the whole cycle and have even called out those who think he would be a weaker general candidate. I call it as i see it and they are telling the truth of the matter. They even called out the GOP as well in the same segment for their convention nonsense
