The Sanders surrogate problem.

Wealthy privilege. Mostly white but totally wealthy. All these douche bags saying stupid shit (from Susan Sarandon to Killa Mike) will not have their lifestyles affected one bit the way the poor will if a Republican is elected.

the (very) likely Democratic nominee. They are pampered millionaires who are so detached from the outside world they can endorse Trump over Clinton (like Sarandon literally did) and the mother fucking fascist could even get elected and it won't affect their pampered assessment one bit.

Not if they elect damn GOP types...poor people will literally die of starvation..the GOP would have all branches of government. Easy for Ms. Rich Susan Sarandon to say these things, she won't feel the pain...but old folks would not afford cat good after paul Ryan's budget was implemented. I don't give a damn about Bernie...he lost get over it and move on. The important thing is to not to allow the GOP to cause more misery for the American people and not to allow them to gerrymander the courts.

I have found nobody on the right or leaning right who says they would vote for Hillary, but some will vote for Bernie.

I think Bernie wins in a landslide, frankly.

in the right direction. I personally know people whose lives were probably saved by that law.

got nominated. The GOP voters hate her, the Independents do not like her, the newly political don't like her. Don't give me the women will all vote for her - I have yet to meet a woman in "real life" who likes her.

IMO the poor would suffer pretty much just as badly if she were president - do you think they enjoy war and fracking and losing their jobs to the TPP and having shitty insurance that they cannot afford to lose? I don't.

Hillary's surrogates - totally wealthy. A wealth of totally wealthy people. Sorry, that's a ridiculous statement you made. To me, the douche-bags are the rich Hillary surrogates - they know they are okay no matter what.

Katy Perry is extremely wealthy, Clooney is rich as fuck and rather notoriously lavish of lifestyle. House on Lake Como. This is not for pikers. He's married to a Hillary big wig.

So this is really hypocritical for you to say and it's just a stupid argument for any of them. It is in fact a Republican argument.
