Clinton Surrogates Attack Sanders' Wife


It’s amazing that for months and months the Hillary Clinton campaign and her followers scream “sexist” at every negative comment even ones on her policies, and then in one night can shatter that whole narrative as well as the one of the “Bernie Bro” by attacking Jane Sanders looks, her appearance, the kind of clothes she wears, or her weight.


Keep it up, Hillarites. You're making yourselves look just so, so good.

it shouldn't be too hard for you to identify and dismiss them as trolls. My point is that people like the OP and the source used couldn't even see the most obvious trolls (I mean, come on, "HillarySuxNutz"?) because they were too busy hyperventilating. Instead of taking absolutely everything at face value and posting this garbage as quickly as their fingers can copy and paste, apply some freaking common sense.

As for "both sides are bad", two wrongs don't make a right. "She did it first" is not a compelling argument.

And I am not saying two wrong make a right. Wrong is wrong, no matter where it comes from.

What is also wrong is that one side has decided to tar a candidate and all of his supporters -- the vast majority of whom are just average well-behaved folks -- as some alien horde of barbarians.

ACTUAL real life ones, don't do the same thing in Wyoming that they did in Nevada. Which is kind of a moot point anyway because the Wyoming folks have already received love letters from Sanders supporters.

The problem is that Sanders defeated Clinton in the state's April 9 Democratic caucuses by 56 percent to 44 percent, but each candidate was allocated seven delegates — an outcome that deeply frustrated the Vermont senator’s supporters. Since the state’s four superdelegates all back Clinton, Sanders actually suffered a net delegate loss out of Wyoming, despite comfortably winning the popular vote.

In the aftermath, top Wyoming Democratic officials, especially those publicly backing Clinton, reported receiving angry calls, letters and threats.

It never ends. But yes, let us all pretend that @IHateHillary381 on Twitter is the one we should really be worried about.

Wyoming has a needlessly complex system. BUT it was that way long before Sanders came along, and if Clinton had won by that much, the same thing would happen. There is nothing that can be done about it now. Making nasty calls or raising chairs over your head isn't going to change the outcome.

The thing that was infuriating about NV was that the delegate totals reflected the actual popular vote totals, so I could not figure out what they were so mad about.

I have commented on several occasions that she has a Palin-esque level of contrived ignorance when speaking about the issues; she tries to strike that I'm-one-of-you down-homey-folksy images, and it flops miserably. I think she's a poor voice on the Sanders campaign trail, and am not at all surprised that she's been benched from the talk show circuit lately.

Her looks do not come into the equation.

@antistatis1962 likes Ron Paul.
