Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton takes a photo with supporters John Nelson and Dan Stifler after speaking at the UFCW Union Local 324 in Buena Park, Calif., May 25, 2016.



The crowd at Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's rally in Buena Park, California, was so fired up that two men standing in the front row lost their shirts.

The shirtless men, who arrived at the venue at 5 a.m. to secure their spots, were fully clothed when the event started but dramatically took them off as Clinton spoke..................................


When they finally met her on the ropeline, Clinton laughed and said, "OK guys!" and took a photo with them. As she walked away, Nelson grabbed a selfie video with her behind them.

"Finally found a candidate to settle for, we're going to settle for Hillary Clinton," Nelson said.

"That's right," Stifler added. "We're doing it!"........................


They don't like Trump, but they weren't totally sold on Clinton...until today.

.......................................
...................

When asked why they're not supporting Bernie Sanders, Nelson said: "You have to be stoned to like Bernie."

Written on the men's chests: "Hill is perfect" and a giant "H"










..................The cops at the rally were going to ask them to leave, but Clinton joked that they could stay as long as they didn't take anything else off.

"I got to admit, it is a little distracting standing up here looking at [them]," Clinton said. "So I'm going to look over this way…"

The two men are Dan Stifler and John Nelson -- both 32 years old and ......................

Shirtless men get a hug from @jamieleecurtis

1. That's great.

They must be having a blast going from rally to rally.

[riversedge]

3. Cool dudes in my book.

[Armstead]

18. Hillbros eh?

I can just imagine the outcry if a bunch of Sanders supporters did this

[NCTraveler]

21. You think there would be an outcry...

If a bunch of Sanders supporters went to multiple republicans rallies to protest and then went to a Sanders rally to cheer him on? Give me a break. These two have been out protesting republicans and supporting democrats.

[Armstead]

22. I'm not saying it's logical -- Just that it would happen

About as logical as the amazing outrage about Brrnie taking a day off to go to a Social Justice conference in Rome

[NCTraveler]

23. There is no link..

From one point to the next in what you just presented.

[Armstead]

24. Anything Sanders and his supporters do is always "out of bounds" and inappropriate

..Plus those Clinton supporters look like millennial white males acting crudely.

That's not what I think. Looks like good clean political tricksters.

But If they were "Berniebros" there's be all kinds of wailing and gnashing of teeth about violations of decorum, blah,blah,blah.

[NCTraveler]

26. There is the difference.

I disagree with how you are painting them.

"..Plus those Clinton supporters look like millennial white males acting crudely. "

Looks like they are having a great time and it was a funny moment.

[Armstead]

27. Did you read the sentences that followed that?

[NCTraveler]

28. Yes. You are hedging every comment you make.

While trying to turn this into something about Sanders and BernieBros.

It's necessary for you to do.

[Armstead]

32. I'm not hedging anything

Let me be nice a literal for you.

Every time Sanders sneezes, or every time one or more of his supporters do anything remotely off the beam, Clinton supporters go into high indignation mode as to it represents how awful he is or how rude and crude his supporters are.

It does not take a huge leap of imagination to expect that if a bunch of young white males showed up at a Bernie rally and caused a scene by ripping off their shirts -- similar pictures would be posted as example of how rude and crude his BernieBros are, and how Sanders is personally responsible for enabling bad behavior.

You might disagree, but I am not hedging anything. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

[NCTraveler]

29. Maybe it would help if you showed me...

Where I have mocked young people for protesting republicans and supporting democrats.

[Armstead]

30. I wasn't referring to you specifically

[NCTraveler]

31. " I wasn't referring to you specifically"

Seems you were. If you are going to say you weren't it is only because you put the roller away and are now painting with an industrial pneumatic paint sprayer.

I'm not sure why you want to make this about Sanders and his supporters by means of painting Clinton supporters negatively. It's a fun op.

2. LOL, if she's so perfect, why are they "settling" for her?

"Finally found a candidate to settle for, we're going to settle for Hillary Clinton," Nelson said.

"That's right," Stifler added. "We're doing it!"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

It sounds like the perfect slogan for HRC's campaign: "Settle for less, settle for Hillary!!!"

[riversedge]

4. Oh settle down. its a cute article. no need to diss it.

[farleftlib]

5. I'm very settled, thank you for caring so very much.

And I'm not dissing the article. I'm laughing at it because it's funny as hell.

Settling for HRC, because with disapproval ratings like hers, it's the only thing one can do.

[riversedge]

14. you are welcome. Have a good evening.

[tabasco]

13. Like the Clinton clones dissed the little bird incident?

[sheshe2]

15. ;)

[Armstead]

19. If a bunch of Berniebros did this at his rallies....Oh the feigned outrage there would be

"Oh -- have those horrid Sanders supporters no sense of decorum?"

[NBachers]

6. "I think I'll TROLL this light-hearted article and fuck it up for the people who are enjoying it."

[farleftlib]

7. Awww shucks I feel sooooo bad now.

[farleftlib]

9. Buh bye!

[sheshe2]

16. Hahahahahaha~

[SFnomad]

10. They could settle for less, by supporting BS, the candidate that can't win the Democratic Primary!

[riversedge]

11. LOL good one!

[sheshe2]

17. Ouch

[riversedge]

12. another pic added to OP........

20. A rally that we can actually laugh at and let some of the pressure go.

Does our life always need to be about fear and anger? No. Life is way to short for that.

25. k&r

...still hope this doesn't become a thing.
