"The Clintons, like the Bourbons before the French Revolution, have ensconced themselves in such a bubble of operative and media sycophancy that they’ve mistakenly viewed escalating distress and legitimate demands from citizens as mere noise."

1. because she NEVER gets out

and sees the real world.

[Lucinda]

2. No kidding!

[anotherproletariat]

3. Don't worry...these are just sore losers. Months from now we'll reassess and see how things really

turn out. The great thing about Trump being racists, is that those who align themselves with Trump will have a long-term mark on their character.

[chillfactor]

4. they are not the smartest..

they are the dumbest!

[beachbumbob]

5. You have to hate America a lot to support trump...fake progressives

[jamese777]

6. Who cares?

Everyone is free to vote for whomever they please. There were thousands of Hillary supporters in 2008 who voted for John McCain. Barack Obama still won by 9.5 million votes.

7. I hate to have to tell you

But no matter what the article says, anyone who votes for Trump is not SMART! Only two kinds of Bernie supporters would vote Trump, those who were never Democrats, Liberals, or Progressives to begging with, I call them trolls, and the other ones would be complete idiots. No matter how much some of the so called Bernie supporters hate Hillary, any of them with half a brain would NEVER, and I mean NEVER, pull the lever for Trump. If they don't want to vote that's up to them, but I really doubt they would help someone like Trump get into the WH, not of they were "really" Progressives, fake ones yes, real ones no way.

23. Yup.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

8. PURE.FUCKING. STUPIDITY

It would be like voting for the National Socialist party in the 1932 German federal elections because you didn't like the Social Democratic or the Cenre party in Germany.


It is thinking like that that led to the extermination of six million of my co-religionists and threw four continents into war.

[Maedhros]

9. I doubt that any Progressives will vote for Trump.

It's much more likely that they will go third party.

[Buzz cook]

10. Because two people who worked themselves up through their own efforts

Are exactly like the French aristocracy. Mean while Trump who was raised with a golden spoon up his nose is a real working class hero.

[welivetotreadonkings]

11. This is not only silly but extremely dangerous...

I have many problems with Clinton's policy positions, but this is simple arithmetic. Trump cannot occupy the White House.

[sufrommich]

12. Racist progressives? nt

[auntpurl]

16. Right?? wtf seriously

[NCTraveler]

13. One of the most ignorant thoughts this primary season. Nt

[JoePhilly]

14. Only an idiot would vote for Trump.

[Beacool]

15. They may be a lot of things, but if they vote for Trump "smart" is not one of them.

More like shortsighted fools who didn't get their way and are willing to screw the country, rather than vote for the Democratic nominee.

They can rot in hell!!!

[RandySF]

17. Did she name any?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. Only someone who didn't give a shit about women, Latinos, and Muslims would vote for Trump.

[Sancho]

19. No worries, there are plenty of Tea Party "morans" who will vote for Hillary instead of Trump...

so what.

Hillary is the Democrat, so you may want to talk to those Smart Progressives before November.

[TwilightZone]

20. Then the "progressives" she knows must be idiots.

If that's the smartest of the bunch, she needs to find some new friends.

[Squinch]

21. Such silly bullshit. If YOU want to vote for Trump, just have the guts to say so. NO progressives

are voting for Trump.

By definition.

[LiberalFighter]

22. Susan Webber demonstrates she is a whack job.

Doesn't sound like someone that has really been involved in the political process.

[Happyhippychick]

24. My god it's the tea party wing of the democratic party

Disgusting.
