Hillary Clinton To Voter: 'WHY DON'T YOU GO RUN FOR SOMETHING, THEN?'

[Segami]

Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton responds to a young woman in Minnesota who appears to challenge Clinton on whether she has a plan on addressing diversity of elected officials.

"..So, why don't you go run for something then..."

[thereismore]

1. Was that encourageing or condescending? nt

[yourpaljoey]

3. that was nasty

[Segami]

4. Well....

the way her handlers swooped in sniffing she was getting ruffled, I would say her response was delivered with a very condescending tone indeed.

[MuseRider]

12. Agreed. n/t

[Betty Karlson]

65. And that wants to run the GE campaign for us.

Worse: she wants to run the country too. There aren't enough handlers in the world to steer her clear of mistakes.

[monicaangela]

9. CONDESCENDING

also disrespectful. How can an adult speak with a person that much younger than herself in that tone? What a horrible person.

[KansDem]

41. The laugh gave her away...

At 0'32"

[TheBlackAdder]

22. To which is said "But I don't have a Presidential Husband to ride the coattails of"

[thereismore]

35. Baldrick has a turnip-shaped thingy!

Love Black Adder.

[TheBlackAdder]

38. So I've heard. One of my cats are named after him. nt

[loyalsister]

50. both

To summarize, "you know what dear, run along and run for something." She really needs to get out of the habit of using "dear." And she also really needs to let us know if she is sorry and is doing some soul searching about what became of the people whose lives were destroyed by Clinton policies they claim were successful.

I support these brave youth who are approaching her and demanding accountability.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

2. Hillary the unlikable strikes again.

[hifiguy]

5. The common touch of Marie Antoinette.

The humility of Napoleon.

The ethics of Richard Nixon.

Truly, she is a person of many parts.

[nichomachus]

36. Well, at least Marie Anoinette

pretended to be a shepherdess now and then.

[Bjornsdotter]

6. Whoa.....

....how condescending.

[begin_within]

7. So sick of Hillary. Please make her just go away for good.

[monmouth4]

8. Boy, do I second that. She disgusts me...n/t

[monicaangela]

13. Here's her own words thrown back at her

What a horrible, horrible person.

[begin_within]

23. Wow, thanks

[m-lekktor]

26. I agree. Her and her husband both. nt

[NWCorona]

10. That's the true Hillary

[MuseRider]

15. You are the only one

who dared to suggest those things. Really?

People can be angry or rude or just mean and NEVER mean what you just suggested.

[2pooped2pop]

16. No, it was said in a shitty tone. Watch the clip.

[Bucky]

21. I watched. No, it was not in a shitty tone of voice.

It wasn't happy--they were disagreeing after all. But how in Heaven does encouraging someone who you differ with to test their ideas out in the democracy a bad thing? Disagreeing without insulting or fighting each other is an American thing. Both women did exactly that.

[2pooped2pop]

27. It was crappy

Whichhillary? Crappy, you didn't do what I wanted, Hillary. That's which Hillary

[Segami]

33. You're kidding, aren't you? What exactly are you watching?

[Bucky]

63. Something I'm not projecting my own anger onto

[ChiciB1]

62. So If It Was Said To You, I Guess You Would Have Felt All

warm and fuzzy. I'm sure I would have like to say EXCUSE ME?

It was snarky, I doubt you'd find many analysts who would agree with you.

[Bucky]

64. at worst it was a challenge. You can't be so thin skinned if you're serious about politics

You know, unless you're a Republican. They like to walk about in a snit all the time.

[liberal N proud]

14. Encouraging the young to make a difference

[Bucky]

17. We're not going to agree on everything, but they disagreed agreeably

So there's that. Good for Hillary and good for that young lady for standing up to a powerful leader and speaking her truth.

All America should have such arguments. No one was called a liar; no one was mocked; no one was insulted. That's democracy for grown ups.

PS,
Fuck the Republicans.

[rbrnmw]

18. back to selective caring?

[KingFlorez]

19. That person seemed to be looking for an argument and a scene

You know that everyone wants to go viral these days.

[oasis]

24. Let's face it, Hillary's not about to take any shit from anyone. Folks

better start getting used to it.

[nichomachus]

30. Including the people. Especially the people.

Corporations -- she'll be a lot nicer.

[RobertEarl]

31. Except from Wall Street

They feed her.

[polly7]

34. There's a difference between 'not taking any shit' and discussing

respectfully. Did that woman not deserve that?

Smug, condescending ... and again that creepy laughter.


I honestly can't believe how some here excuse anything and everything.

[oasis]

42. No point in the woman bringing up the tired, super predator thing

unless she was looking for a confrontation, ala Ashley Williams.

[polly7]

45. She had a perfect right to bring up the 'tired, super predator thing'.

I guess to her, it isn't so tired. She was asking for an explanation. Ashley Williams said it well and you seem to have a problem with black women for whom racism has not gone away vetting a person who will be deciding their futures while she's in office.

I laugh at all of you, who've tried to paint Sanders and his supporters as racists from day one, now against black people wanting answers for something that harmed probably very, very many in ways you nor I could possibly understand.

Hypocrisy much? So transparent, right from the start .... using a minority group, then tossing those who dare to have a voice into the trash.

[oasis]

47. I "have a problem" with in-your-face rudeness. Hillary handled

that situation well. She wished the young lady "good luck" and that is that.

[polly7]

49. No, that isn't that.

You find her dismissive condescension and nasty laughter fine ... good for you. I think it's insulting and demeaning and really shows that she doesn't give a * about 'that' black woman's concerns.

[oasis]

51. It's closing out time, Hillary needs to focus on the GE now.

She doesn't see the need to take her eye off of the prize to soothe the retroactive outrage of malcontents from her opponent's camp.

[polly7]

54. Lol at 'malcontents'. I see why you think she did just fine. nt.

[LuvLoogie]

20. This is what she tells young campaign operatives all the time.

[NightWatcher]

25. Winning the hearts and minds of the voters again.

[restorefreedom]

48. some things never change,..,.....nt

[cherokeeprogressive]

28. Odd that NBC cut the video off before Hillary mutters something under her breath after giggling. nt

[polly7]

29. Is there a more adult word for 'yuck'? It's all I can think of watching this. nt.

[Skwmom]

32. I saw the clip on tv. God was it off-putting. n/t

[abbeyco]

37. Then she got on her broomstick & flew away.

Good lord there's no need for her to be so nasty. I wasn't sure for whom I would caucus tonight but this episode helped me make up my mind.

[stillwaiting]

39. I saw this without sound while I was on the treadmill today.

I was disgusted by the way Hillary carried herself bodily while communicating with this young woman.

It was SO very haughty and condescending.

I did not know until right now what she SAID, but I am not at all surprised to find out that she was, in fact, being incredibly rude, condescending, and dismissive in her very own royal way.

I truly dislike HRC very, very much. And, I have no doubt the feeling would be very mutual from her towards me if she knew me. Badge of honor as far as I would consider that.

[nichomachus]

40. Well, Mrs. Clinton

I'm having trouble right now making ends meet -- and I don't have the resources to run for office. Maybe if you could hook me up with someone who could give me $200,000 apiece for a couple of speeches, I could swing it.

[Ilsa]

43. It was the laugh at the end that got me.

That's when I knew for certain that she was just being confrontational.

I don't expect the SOS to take shit off people. But she could have been more friendly and encouraging to the young woman instead of snapping at her. If I had been that young woman, the exchange alone would break a tie and send me to Sander's campaign.

[UglyGreed]

44. They way she said it

why don't YOU run for something. Listen to the tone, such a people person!!!

[closeupready]

46. Channeling Ann Romney, remember?

Who whined, "Why don't you throw YOUR hat in the ring?"

[tularetom]

60. "Honestly! You people! Why don't you run for office if you think you're so smart?"

[jfern]

52. Bernie is running for us

[Hekate]

53. Good advice for a young woman: get into politics early. We need more young women in politics.

[HereSince1628]

55. Wouldn't you choose a condescending leader over a responsive one?

[nadinbrzezinski]

56. Whoa

[7wo7rees]

57. Unbelievable!

Said earlier today. Harsh and crass

Just the same laugh, "we came, we saw, he died."

[Bread and Circus]

58. Ooohhh she tone deaf!

[Tarc]

59. So what?

This young woman just got a taste of the real world, where people don't automatically agree with everything she may feel. Clinton told her off, and I say 3 cheers to that,
