When Hillary Was a Republican

[B Calm]

As a young girl, Hillary Clinton followed in the footsteps of her Republican father, Hugh Rodham, in his support of Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater.

1. Clinton/Warren 2016

[Squinch]

29. Cool! Cause you know, Elizabeth Warren used to VOTE Republican. Hillary never actually voted R

and she switched parties when she was MUCH younger than Elizabeth Warren was when she made the switch.

This stuff is getting pretty sad to watch...

2. Wasn't that like 50 years ago?

Didn't Reagan start out as a Democrat.

[B Calm]

4. Back in the days when she was president of young republicans in college.

[onehandle]

7. I thought you guys were all about the young people?

What if the current president of the young Republicans at Hillary's former college became a Democrat and voted for Bernie?

[griffi94]

10. Really good thing she became a Democrat

She's going to be an excellent president.

She was already organizing and leading while she was still in college.
She has the experience we need.

[B Calm]

12. DINO

[griffi94]

14. Democratic nominee tho

[B Calm]

18. She hasn't won yet.

[griffi94]

19. Just a formality now

Bernie catching or passing her in pledged delegates isn't going to happen.
He's out of delegate rich states and he's out of time.

The supers aren't going to flip.
Should he keep flaming the Democratic Party as being equally corrupt as the GOP
some supers may flip from Bernie to Hillary.

He wanted to run as a Democrat.
He needed the Democratic Party the party doesn't need him for anything...at all.

It's time for him to either suspend his campaign or tone down the attacks.

He ran, he lost, game over.

[onehandle]

3. She was a Democrat by her first vote.

And did you lose a bet to post this as if it was new news?

Total desperation.

6. Goldwater ran in 1964

so Hillary was in high school at the time.

[Arkansas Granny]

8. Yep. And voting age was 21.

[insta8er]

9. Was?

[pdsimdars]

37. ^^^^^^^^^^^ Amen! ^^^^^^^^^^^

[KingFlorez]

11. Who cares about what she did when she was a minor?

It's stupid to keep bringing this up.

[Thinkingabout]

13. She was never a member of Liberty Union Party.

[HooptieWagon]

15. Sshhh, or you'll wake up the elephant in the room.

[SFnomad]

45. The elephant? That BS cheerleaders are desperate? n/t

[wyldwolf]

17. Really?? We had NO IDEA!!!

[VOX]

20. OMG! THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!!1!

Really ripped the lid offa this story! Who knew??!?

[Marrah_G]

21. She was a kid. None of it matters.

[all american girl]

22. Oh, we're back to this again....because you are exactly the same as you were as a 17 year old.

[B Calm]

23. Were you the president of Young Republicans in college too?

[all american girl]

26. No, but I have also grown up more. When I was 17 I was in high school, band, and

working at fast food. My husband was a republican when I married him...he was 23. He is now I lovely bleeding heart lib, so not everyone stays the same. It's so sad when people don't grow out of their 17 year old self, there's so much to learn. We take things from that time, that help make us what we are today, but as life, that's not the whole. Now it may be for you, but most are not like that.

[pdsimdars]

39. Yea, too bad Hillary didn't "grow out of her 17 year old self"

because the values she still hold near and dear are Republican values.
It's not the NAME of the party that is important, it is the VALUES they represent that determines what you stand for.

[all american girl]

40. Whatever, there's nothing anyone can say that will change your mind, so I have nothing to say.

You have a great day

[Squinch]

44. Sing it, girl! Time for us to blow this Hillary/Sanders clambake and move on to the general!

[all american girl]

46. Rock On

[pdsimdars]

48. you too, have a special day

buh bye. . . .

[randome]

24. The Goldwater Fairy has been replaced by Indictment Fairy who has been replaced by Transcript Fairy.

Please keep up.

25. It's seems we have come full circle since those other things haven't panned out.

At least it's predicitable at this point.

[all american girl]

27. Sing with me everone....the Circle of Life.....or the Bernie campaign.

[Tarc]

28. I believe this is well-known history by now, yes.

[metroins]

30. I was a Republican until about age 24

Ideals are shaped throughout life.

[yardwork]

31. This might help her win in the GE, so please proceed.

[B Calm]

32. Guaranteed to win republican voters over to our DINO candidate.

[yardwork]

33. Good.

People around here love it when Republicans vote for Bernie in open primaries.

[B Calm]

36. I think you are confusing independents with republicans.

[all american girl]

41. Nope, I recall that was a big thing a bit back that he was bringing republicans around to him

I can't recall if there was actually evidence, or if people just thought that, but there was a lot of pride...saying Bernie had crossover appeal.

[yardwork]

42. In some states, open primaries allow Republicans to vote in the Democratic primary.

Polls showed some Republicans choosing to vote for Bernie. This was cheered on DU.

[pdsimdars]

34. Come on, she still IS a Republican

What defines "Republican" and "Democrat" is not an "R" or "D" by your name. They represent certain core policies and principles. . . It is more than just a name.

It's as plain as day where each one stands.

[Kip Humphrey]

35. ***Nailed it!***

[B Calm]

38. Bingo!

[YOHABLO]

43. This is definitely something I have to show my mother, a staunch HRC supporter.

Take that mom.

[seabeyond]

47. First is a lie. Clinton has always been for gay rights, and Sanders and Clinton opposed marriage

equality until 2013 and 2009 respectfully. If the first line is a lie, I can only imagine the rest of the graph.
