1. Hillary: Ever with the dirty tricks and deceptive campaign practices. nt

[CentralMass]

2. Rumble... I put my money on the Nurses.

[peacebird]

3. Me too!

[Agschmid]

4. No it's not curious...

The shirts clearly have the Hillary logo, this is the most ridiculous non story ever.

[NWCorona]

9. It would seem but then you look at

What else has been going on in Nevada.

[Agschmid]

13. You posted the same thing again.

These shirts look nothing alike beyond the fact that they are both red.

This is a non-story.

And it's ridiculous it keeps getting posted, can't tell the difference between shirts that clearly says "Bernie" or "Hillary"... Then I can't help you.

[NWCorona]

19. No. Actually read the link. It goes into other

Issues regarding the Clinton campaign in Nevada.

[Agschmid]

21. I did read it...

I posts the same tweets again...

And again.

We will be hearing about this all day apparently.

[NWCorona]

22. FYI

"This is just the latest in a series of questionable tactics the Hillary Clinton campaign has engaged in during the week leading up to the Nevada caucus. Earlier this week, ABC News confirmed an instance of push polling, which, as Las Vegas-based author Nolan Dalla pointed out in a recent viral blog post, comes straight from the Karl Rove playbook of dirty campaign tricks"

[Agschmid]

24. So who did the poll? Who made the push?

If it comes straight from the Karl Rove playbook...

[cui bono]

28. The poster clearly said, the Clinton campaign.

.

[Agschmid]

30. Actually the poster *didn't* state that.

Neither does the article, those are separate sentences.

[NWCorona]

31. Within the supplied link

"When ABC News presented the audio recording to an aide with the Clinton campaign, the aide said the campaign could neither confirm nor deny that the audio was from polling done by the campaign or an outside group affiliated with the campaign.

However, the aide argued that it was an example of “message-testing” polling, common among all campaigns."

[Agschmid]

32. Yup, so nothing. Got it.

[NWCorona]

35. I'm not trying to convert you.

Make what you will and others will do the same. That said, there's a reason Hillary's trustworthy #'s are in the single digits.

[Agschmid]

38. You don't need to convert me... I'll support the nominee.

But this red shirt drama is OVER THE TOP.

[NWCorona]

41. Maybe. We will see after today.

[Agschmid]

43. That post meant I'd support either candidate.

Your blinders are on.

[NWCorona]

44. And that's fine but I wasn't questioning that.

I only meant we'd see what comes of this shirt issue.

[Agschmid]

45. Nothing.

This shirt "issue" is bull.

That's about it.

[cui bono]

42. Now you're just being silly. n/t

[cui bono]

25. The nurses don't think so. And they said the Hillary people quickly changed back into blue

when they saw the press. It certainly woudn't be the first thing like this that Hillary has ever done. This is an illustration of both how and why her trust rating is at 6%.

**UPDATE**: In a statement to Raw Story, National Nurses United spokesperson Chuck Idelson said the red tees were not a first for Clinton supporters, and that when nurses attending the caucus pointed out the Clinton people to the press, they immediately changed back into Clinton blue tees.

Statement below:

At a large caucus at the New York casino Clinton staffers were wearing red t-shirts, despite the fact that Clinton has branded blue the entire campaign. Red is if course associated with National Nurses United, has been our color for years and well known in nurses campaigning for Sanders in red scrubs, red shirts, and even our red Bernie Buses that have been prominent in early voting states.

When our nurses walked into the room with cameras and a couple press the Clinton staffers ran over to the corner and quickly changed to blue shirts.

In our view they are trying to exploit the credibility of the nurses (just as Sanders is viewed as the most trusted candidate) to deceive voters walking into the caucuses.

[Agschmid]

29. The shirts have candidate names and logos.

This is a ridiculous story.

[cui bono]

33. That probably can't be read from across a room.

You must be able to understand that when you see a big group of one color, a color that is associated with a certain organization, a color that has yet to be associated with Clinton, your brain will generally associate it with the certain organization.

So here's some questions then...

Why, when their campaign is branded as blue, did they all of a sudden start wearing red at the caucus?

Why did they change back into the blue shirts when they were pointed out to the press?

Why should anybody ever trust Hillary when she ran a dirty, sleazy campaign in 2008 and is catching up to that this time around and when she constantly lies?

Could it be a nothing story? Yes. But being that it is about Hillary that is doubtful. Based on character, or lack there of, and past actions coupled with desperation due to slipping poll numbers, it seems more than likely this was a meant as a dirty trick.

5. It seems silly BUT:

"When our nurses walked into the room with cameras and a couple press the Clinton staffers ran over to the corner and quickly changed to blue shirts."

And there's pictures of it too so it does seem like they were trying to confuse the caucus goers. Hmmm...

[NWCorona]

6. That does seem a bit odd

[bettyellen]

8. so they did not want people to confuse them with the nurses? is that a bad thing?

[NWCorona]

11. More like they seen the press.

[Qutzupalotl]

12. They did not want to get caught.

[bettyellen]

17. This makes no sense- they had mixed colors and were going to end up on the other side of the room

anyway. I am not getting why the color of the T shirts makes a dimes worth of difference. I have seen both red and blue (and white) shirts for both candidates for months. Is all of that a conspiracy of some sort?

[dana_b]

18. it's not to be a nurse (I'm one)

lol... but if people were looking for the nurses in the red shirts who are caucusing for Bernie, and the Clinton people, who have always been wearing blue shirts, put on the red shirts in order to confuse people, then yeah, it smells a little bit like funny tricks.

The fact that they took off their red shirts and had the blue shirts on underneath is what looks pretty slimy.

[bettyellen]

23. If red shirts would make it look like there were MORE Sanders supporters how would that help?

If they were always planning to be on one side of the room- and both sides have been using both colors.... I don't get it. They had both red and blue shirts- probably produced by different advocacy groups. That kind of stuff happens.

[vaberella]

27. Oh, that's bad. n/t

[cui bono]

34. You've got it backwards. They DID want people to confuse them with the nurses.

The backtracked out of it when they were pointed out to the press.

.

[bettyellen]

39. Seeing how the whole idea was to go to one side of the room, how would anyone be confused?

I seriously can't imagine how anyone would think up a plot like that. It's not making any sense to me.

[cui bono]

40. You see the color associate specifically with the Nurses Assoc. in Hillary's corner and you think

they are for Hillary. It makes perfect sense.

Hillary's campaign has been branded as blue from the start. All of a sudden today they start wearing red shirts.

.

[bettyellen]

46. Well no- because the nurses are a well known Sanders group. No one would assume they cross over

while wearing a Bernie shirt. If that was a "plan" it's a stupid one.

I saw red tees at her kickoff in NYC, Bernie wearing blue, Hillary red...and both teams use both colors. I think a lot of small groups are just doing what they want and people just grabbed tees and thought about it later.

[cui bono]

47. That is exactly the point. Making it look like they switched their support. n/t

[bettyellen]

48. Well, that is the silliest plot I have ever heard. How would such slightly people influence anyone?

Makes zero sense to me.

[geek tragedy]

7. three threads on freaking red t-shirts seems like overkill nt

[tammywammy]

14. And really

I cannot imagine a Bernie supporter that confused that a shirt that says #imwithher and Hillary on it would "confuse" them into voting for the wrong person.

[Agschmid]

15. Yup.

And I plan on posting how stupid this is in each and every one.

[cui bono]

36. Well your OP chastising Bernie supporters was worse than overkill. n/t

[jillan]

10. C'mon my fellow Berners - this is kinda silly.

[NWCorona]

16. I'm not saying this is true but there's been complaints

Of wrongdoing from Nevada before. I'd rather be on top of it rather than dealing with it afterwards.

[Agschmid]

26. On top of what?

Shirt colors?

If people are fooled by that... I mean come on.

The shirts have the candidates names, the candidates logos... Oh and the bodies in them who are clearly talking about supporting a candidate.

Non-story.

[Ferd Berfel]

20. NO Class - No Integrity

NO vote.

[cui bono]

37. I'm with the majority.

Which is why I tend to believe this story and won't dismiss it.

I don't trust her one bit.
