MITCHELL: Well, about 40% of the delegation really sat on their hands. Uh, even though this is the first lady and Michelle Obama could not be more popular, 40% of these delegates are Bernie Sanders delegates. Some of them stood up, about three or four, you could see perhaps. But some have their Robin Hood hats on. So there was some resistance even to Michelle Obama, which is a big signal to this convention, to the Clinton campaign, that even their most popular speakers are not gonna persuade the hardcore Bernie Sanders supporters.
RUSH: Whoa ho-ho! That’s the last thing… I mean, here is Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington, actually undercutting the theme that Michelle Obama was loved and adored and appreciated and overwhelmingly supported. F. Chuck Todd was in a near panic, and this was his reaction to Andrea Mitchell, NBC News, Washington…
RUSH: So, “What you just heard from our reporter, Andrea Mitchell? Screw it! You didn’t see it, you didn’t hear it, so it didn’t happen! I mean, after all, who can hear people sitting on their hands?” Ha! The theory from F. Chuck Todd. So it makes me wonder. You know, is… is…? (interruption) No, because I know that Andrea Mitchell is totally in the tank for Hillary. And yet this is something the Drive-Bys don’t usually do! I mean, here you have the perception that there was 1,000% love and adoration there for Michelle Obama, and here comes Andrea Mitchell saying, “Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. There were a whole lot of people,” and Chuck Todd coming along to slap here down.
