But it figures you think this is cute or clever rather than sexist. If a Bernie supporter did it you'd suggest a tar and feathering.

Its too bad their specialty is the one thing that makes our country truly suck, Moneyed Interests controlling our govt. But at least they fail in other areas.

I hope they fail completely. I hope there are many Les Wexners...he's the richest man in Ohio, founded such retail giants as The Limited & Victoria's secret. And he gave almost a $million to a super pac backing Jeb Bush.... God I love that. I hope many many more millionaires have just similarly thrown away their millions on Hillary.

of a bunch of privileged millennials at Colombia - I know, I also thought it was an attempt at older campaigners to appeal to young voters...instead it's a reminder that, to some, privilege is more of a bond than generation.
