Hillary Clinton has had enough of Bernie Sanders

[book_worm]

Sanders was very much on Clinton’s mind — more than Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, the whole lot of them — when I sat with her for a far-ranging and unvarnished discussion for POLITICO’s “Off Message” podcast last Friday inside an empty warehouse at an upstate New York farmer’s market.

Sanders had just told an interviewer that he was iffy about raising money for down-ballot Democrats, so I asked Clinton the obvious question: Did she think Sanders is a real Democrat?

“Well, I can’t answer that,” she said with a smile. Then she proceeded to answer the question. “He’s a relatively new Democrat, and, in fact, I’m not even sure he is one. He’s running as one. So I don’t know quite how to characterize him.”

Still, it is Sanders who poses the most immediate threat. He was was running hard — and hitting her hard — in New York, and she was clearly frustrated with his easy appeal to voters under 35. She even suggested for the first time (in public, anyway) that the septuagenarian from Vermont was feeding a simplistic, cynical line of argument to turn young voters against her.

“There is a persistent, organized effort to misrepresent my record, and I don’t appreciate that, and I feel sorry for a lot of the young people who are fed this list of misrepresentations,” Clinton said, a few minutes after talking herself hoarse at a rally here.

“I know that Senator Sanders spends a lot of time attacking my husband, attacking President Obama. I rarely hear him say anything negative about George W. Bush, who I think wrecked our economy.”

3. Kicked and recommended book worm!

I too have had enough of Sander's and his supporters bullshit! Hillary IS a great democrat and to see someone running on a democratic platform subscribe to the same attacks that republican elites have been using on her for years, is pathetic.

Screw Sander's, it's time he take a dose of what he's been dealing out.

“I know that Senator Sanders spends a lot of time attacking my husband, attacking President Obama. I rarely hear him say anything negative about George W. Bush, who I think wrecked our economy.”

What the hell kind of Democrat is this impostor?

Yes! BS is late to the revolution .. President Obama started it in 2008 and Hillary will carry on in 2017.

Thanks, book.

6. I find his inability of answering questions such as his plan to break up the banks, he does not know

how to do this, this is one of his "agenda" items, why can't he answer this question. He is a weathervane flopping in the wind, he just does not have the knowledge to be president. I hope this question is ask over and over, he does not have small answers, what about big issues.
