62. Oh, but Hillary's such a "Democrat." And Bernie "isn't."

Sun May 8, 2016, 07:48 PM

May 2016

Look at some of the big-name Republicans that love her --

* Mark Salter, a top adviser to John McCain.

* Ex-CIA director General David Petraeus.

* Former US defense secretary Robert Gates.

Because she's such a "Democrat." And Bernie "isn't."

"Let’s get off the red [Republican] or the blue [Democrat] team. Let’s get on the American team,” Clinton told CNN.

Because she's such a "Democrat." And Bernie "isn't."

Clinton was also surging relations with outstanding Republican figures and mega donors she met during her term as US secretary of state from 2009 to 2013, The New York Times reported.

Because she's such a "Democrat." And Bernie "isn't."

And... WTF ... are ... her ... followers?
