Bernie said something disgusting about Hillary?

[left-of-center2012]

MSNBC showed a clip today of Hillary Clinton speaking before a small group,
during which she said she was really disappointed in Bernie Sanders.
She claimed he said something about her that was disgusting, and a real low blow.
What upset her so much?

Bernie said: “Well, I guess Hillary Clinton may be progressive on some issues.”

OMG! How dare he?!

[Ned_Devine]

1. Great, now he has to stay out in front of a bullshit lie. Oh the campaign of victimhood

[thereismore]

2. He is just being truthful. nt

[Faux pas]

3. Maybe when it's all over

and Bernie wins, clinton and trump can share a whiny crying towel. lolol

[Broward]

4. Actually, he's being generous there.

[stillwaiting]

5. Hillary is trying to play people here. She's the one being disgusting. nt

[Ino]

6. So now she thinks being called progressive is disgusting?

It must be an I'm A Moderate Centrist Day.

[PeaceNikki]

9. No. "Hillary Clinton: Sanders' *dig at my progressive credentials* was a 'low blow'

7. "Bring me my fainting couch"

That horrid little man

[Nanjeanne]

8. Jeez - does she forget in September that she said she was moderate

that was the month before she said she was progressive - which was a month before she said we have to govern from the center . . .

She really has no shame.

[virgdem]

56. Yes, she stands on ever changing quicksand.

[left-of-center2012]

10. Maybe Hillary will cliam she's a socialist too?

Will she throw Wall Street under the bus?

[SheenaR]

50. I almost spit out my drink

after reading your subject line

[uponit7771]

11. Sanders may be progressive on some issues too... he even thinks he can throw stones....

... he's taking himelf too seriously

[Punkingal]

12. Taking himself too seriously?

[uponit7771]

14. Like this post ^^^

[frylock]

17. !

[left-of-center2012]

13. So you agree with Hillary?

Saying she may be progressive on some issues was a low blow?

[uponit7771]

15. I agree Sanders has been minamizing HRCs leftest bonafides for months which relates her more

...to the marginalized and not to Sanders message

IE his poor polling in IA with PoC

[hobbit709]

18. WHAT leftist bonafides?

[uponit7771]

19. see, comes from Sanders mouth and oozes out of the poors of his supporters

[hobbit709]

24. Well, list her actual "leftist" bonafides instead of badmouthing me.

Hillary has NEVER been a leftist.

[uponit7771]

28. Blacks, gays, women, Hispanics and most of the poor (save white males) disagree with you and strongl

... support HRC

NOT Sanders

[hobbit709]

31. If all your positions are right of center, you're hardly a leftist.

And Bernie's positions on the above are far to the left of Hillary.
And I asked you to LIST her leftist positions, not who might support her.
And I'm far to the left of Bernie.

[uponit7771]

34. Her past accomplishments say different

[hobbit709]

35. Walmart is leftist?

that's the second funniest thing I've seen today.

[uponit7771]

36. No but neither is law suite immunity for corporations...

[hobbit709]

40. E&E on your part.

[loyalsister]

57. You mean the poor grassroots organizers she did not have the guts to listen to?

She skipped the Putting Gamilies First candidated forum. Martin O'Malley and Bernie Sanders attended and had the guts to answer unscripted questions. When she discovered Hillary dissed us, one of her staffers in attendance quit her campaign.

There were #BLM protesters from STL there wondering where she was. She lost support from people in all of the demographics you listed that day.

[frylock]

20. Hillary has been minimizing HRCs "leftest" bonafides for months

[uponit7771]

25. She can be a moderate progressive ... she's left of center... only Sanders camp wants to minimize

... her 50 years of left leaning work to claim she's not endearing her more to others who've been marginalized than to Sanders and his message

[frylock]

29. She's anything and everything you want her to be!

[uponit7771]

33. Including president, seeing Sanders IA PoC numbers that seems closer to reality

[frylock]

38. Shit! I missed the election?

[uponit7771]

41. Maybe, but PoC in IA didn't miss the chance to let Sanders know his message missed them... and women

... and gays (possibly, hard to get polling data on LBGT community)

[frylock]

44. Can you even fathom how ferocious the backlash is going to be when PoC start breaking for Sanders?

I really hope you're ready for it.

[uponit7771]

46. You mean like they did 3 days ago after hearing Sanders message for a whole 3 months?

... I'll wait, but Sanders has 3 months to make up ground in SC where he's in the teens with black voters...


Half of the primary electorate there

[frylock]

51. Hunh? Could you please rephrase?

Where was Sanders polling with PoC 3 months ago?

[cali]

21. Do list her progressive accmplishments

Not her rhetoric, but concrete accomplishments

[uponit7771]

26. LMGTFY

[frylock]

30. Pretty short list there.

[uponit7771]

32. Its been posted multiple times... here's the short list

[frylock]

42. Fought for children and families for 40 years and counting. Too vague. Where's the beef?

Told the world that “women’s rights are human rights.” Wow. She told the world.

Stood up for LGBT rights at home and abroad. Uhh.. yeah. Okay. I guess when she wasn't talking about the sacred bond between a man and woman.

[cali]

16. He didn't. She is a liar and purveyor of slime.

[dana_b]

39. +1 - he was being generous n/t

[Vinca]

22. Did you ever think you'd see the day a politician would be pitching a fit trying to prove

she's a leftie???? LOL. Up is down and down is up. I noticed after the "Morning Joe" panel spent some time wondering why she always yells, she's toned it down a bit.

[Nanjeanne]

23. Oh My

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

[bkkyosemite]

27. And he said on some issues she is a Moderate she can't be both

He is sticking to his guns...fantastic. flip flop.....

[ecstatic]

47. "He is sticking to his guns." Yeah, literally.

By the way, is it progressive to protect gun manufacturers?

[bkkyosemite]

48. He explained that and it was a good explanation ...seems like you

are like some I've seen on the TV i.e., Fallon...a question is asked or a statement is made about HRC and he switches it to something else.

[ecstatic]

53. The point is, Bernie isn't progressive on all or even most issues. nt

[Nanjeanne]

37. And the surrogates are out . . .

?@donnabrazile Donna Brazile Retweeted Bernie Sanders
Okay, I'm a self identified progressive. But, as an activist, I spent years working for moderates down South. Geez..

So stupid. Who said anything about "working" with moderates. Bernie has spent years working with moderates. What does this have to do with how you self-identify? She makes no sense. She says she self-identifies as progressive. Well Hillary self-identifies as progressive - moderate - and center.

If you are going to tweet, Donna. you should at least make sense!

[Metric System]

52. Who is Bernie to decide who's a progressive?

[Nanjeanne]

55. He's not deciding

Hillary decided. One thing in September. Another thing in October. Another thing the other day.

[restorefreedom]

43. how horrible! did someone call the police?

and let me grab the smelling salts!

[cali]

45. She so doesn't get it

The question in the long run is whether these disparate intraparty bases of support will hang together in a general election on behalf of the eventual nominee. Certainly similar cleavages in 2008 did not keep Barack Obama from assembling what we now know as the Obama Coalition of young and minority voters and certain categories of women. Since young voters are the most marginal electoral participants of them all, Team Clinton should be especially worried that under-30 voters won't turn out for her in a general election. Indeed, some Republicans fantasize about stealing the youth vote behind a candidate like Marco Rubio, with his whole new-generation, aspirational message (offset, to be sure, by a Reagan-era economic outlook and a Cold War zest for militarism). This is another reason Hillary should be careful about letting her competition with Bernie Sanders become too savage.

49. What will we tell the children?! n/t

[Le Taz Hot]

58. I'm sorry, this is the tough-as-nails, gonna go toe-to-toe with Putin

and other leaders? She's sounding like a big crybaby. She's whining because of that??? Wait till the Republicans get ahold of her.
