Annoying Bernie Tactic #1: Passive-Aggressive / Mean-Spirited / Rude Comments

EXAMPLE ONE: SANDERS CHIDES HILLARY "YOU AREN'T IN THE WHITE HOUSE YET"

Partial PBS Democratic Debate Transcript

IFILL: But I haven't heard either of you put a price tag on your -- you say...

(CROSSTALK)

CLINTON: I will put a price tag. My price tag is about $100 billion a year. And again, paid for. And what I have said is I will not throw us further into debt. I believe I can get the money that I need by taxing the wealthy, by closing loopholes, the things that we are way overdue for doing.

And I think once I'm in the White House we will have enough political capital to be able to do that.

But I am conscious of the fact that we have to also be very clear, especially with young people, about what kind of government is going to do what for them and what it will cost.

IFILL: Senator?

SANDERS: Well, Secretary Clinton, you're not in the White House yet.



EXAMPLE TWO: Sanders Accuses Clinton of Embracing Obama to TO PANDER TO BLACK VOTERS



"Hillary Clinton now is trying to embrace the President as closely as she possibly can. Everything the president does is wonderful. She loves the president, he loves her and all that stuff," Sanders said in an interview with CNN contributor Marc Lamont Hill, which will air on BET at 10 a.m. Sunday, according to excerpts from that interview provided by the network.

"And we know what that's about. That's trying to win support from the African-American community where the President is enormously popular," Sanders said.


Clinton's Campaign Response: "It's disappointing that Senator Sanders thinks the only reason a Democrat would be proud of President Obama's work would be a political ploy to court African-American voters," said Clinton spokesman Jesse Ferguson.

"We know Senator Sanders believes the President has shown failed leadership, but like Hillary Clinton, most Democrats have a different view," he said. "We are proud of President Obama's work to rescue the economy from the brink of collapse, pass landmark health reform and reform Wall Street."

In reverse order.

Clinton getting called on her obvious pandering:

Clinton's Campaign Response: "It's disappointing that Senator Sanders thinks the only reason a Democrat would be proud of President Obama's work would be a political ploy to court African-American voters

No, Ms Clinton, he doesn't think that's the only reason A DEMOCRAT would be proud of the President. He thinks it's the reason YOU are (pretending to be), given your history of racist dogwhistles against him.

Clinton promising things she can't do:

But I am conscious of the fact that we have to also be very clear, especially with young people, about what kind of government is going to do what for them and what it will cost.

More condescending to young voters, implying they're ignorant because they don't want to vote for you and don't think you offer enough to the country?
