Throughout the 2008 and 2012 presidential election season, Progressives controlled the message, for the most part kept their talking heads in check when it came to propaganda (not to mention voter and election fraud).

Well that was then and this is now. Progressives set their creation loose on the country and the ideologues cannot (will not) allow themselves to be controlled.

Enter Rosario Dawson who while ragging Hillary Clinton this weekend over Super Pac donations invoked Monica Lewinsky and the intimidation, suppression of voters by the Progressive establishment desperate to control the message and outcome of the 2016 Presidential election.

Let’s be real, even if Sanders could check Dawson, he would not. Doing so would not risk angering his supporters for the likes of Crooked Hillary.

In unusually candid remarks, President Obama privately told a group of Democratic donors last Friday that Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont was nearing the point at which his campaign against Hillary Clinton would end, and that the party must soon come together to back her.

Mr. Obama acknowledged that Mrs. Clinton was perceived to have weaknesses as a candidate, and that some Democrats did not view her as authentic.

But he played down the importance of authenticity, noting that President George W. Bush — whose record he ran aggressively against in 2008 — was once praised for his authenticity.

Mr. Obama made the remarks after reporters had left a fund-raising event in Austin, Tex., for the Democratic National Committee. The comments were described by three people in the room for the event, all of whom were granted anonymity to describe a candid moment with the president. The comments were later confirmed by a White House official….

While Barack Obama did not say it out right, nor did he have to, the message is: “Go home Bernie. It’s a wrap.”
