National Nursesaccuses Clinton campaign of trying to trick Bernie Sanders’ voters at Nevada caucuses

[dorkzilla]

National Nurses United, with members in every state, 185,000 total, announced they were backing Sanders in August of last year, with DeMoro stating, “Bernie Sanders aligns perfectly with nurses on the most critical problems facing our nation, from income inequality to guaranteeing healthcare to all to holding Wall Street and corporations to account to opening the doors to college education for everyone to racial justice to the climate crisis.”

Union members are easily identified at Sanders rallies sporting bright red t-shirts, with some members wearing special ones with “BeRNie” screened over a heart.

Some opponents of Sanders have criticized the union’s affiliation with the Vermont senator, characterizing it as a SuperPac — which Sanders has steered clear of.

**UPDATE**: In a statement to Raw Story, National Nurses United spokesperson Chuck Idelson said the red tees were not a first for Clinton supporters, and that when nurses attending the caucus pointed out the Clinton people to the press, they immediately changed back into Clinton blue tees

5. DOn't you wonder if some of those people

were found on CraigsLIst and are paid?

[Ed Suspicious]

6. I would bet on it!

4. CLinton is so slimey

THey can't possibly expect Bernie people to just bend over and vote for her (after this shit), should a tragedy occur and she able to slime her way to a nomination.

AYFKM?

7. Do It Until You Get Caught

I watched a video earlier where the atty basically told Clinton volunteers who were registering voters...Do it till you get caught. Referring to registering voters and improperly using campaign signs, etc. Maybe this is the MO of the campaign....Do it till you get caught.

8. Clinton got that idea from a speech she heard on Wall St. n/t

10. Be VERY leary of that video

It's James O'Keefe. I don't trust a fucking thing that guy says. I saw the same video and I was like "oh shit!- She just killed her campaign" and actually started to post it until I saw it came from HIM. It's been around since Autumn.

I wish a credible source had something similar but until and unless that video surfaces, keep away from the O'Keefe version.

9. Another OP about this got ridiculed. Interesting that this says they changed back to blue shirts.

Glad to hear this is coming from the nurses. The other OP had a tweet. I didn't look to see who tweeted it, maybe that was from the nurses union as well.

11. Well nurses DO have a trustworthiness issue!

They're the most trusted profession there is!

ETA - I didn't see the other OP but was the update included, where the Hillary people changed their shirts back when the Nurses Union pointed out what the HRC people where doing, they changed their shirts back to the blue ones?

[cui bono]

13. I don't know, was going to check... n/t

[Agschmid]

14. This should also be ridiculed.

This is a non-story.

Shirts have logos, shirts have words (both in English and Spanish), and some shirts have candidates pictures.

Who is getting fooled?

No one.

[cui bono]

15. You're doing your best. Can't help it if Hillary has proven herself so sleazy we believe this story.

[Agschmid]

17. What story...

That they worse shirts with the Hillary logo?

Should they have just gone shirtless?



Now THAT might influence my vote ...

[cui bono]

19. They may try that next. They do think it's boys that are making young women support Bernie.

[Agschmid]

20. Lol. Have a little fun sometimes.

[cui bono]

22. I'm having a little fun while I stare at that pic.

[Agschmid]

23. Good!

Not too much fun though... the rest of us are still here.

[cui bono]

24. I tried having fun the other day with a joke but this is a tough room!

16. I TOTALLY agreed with you up until I read where the HRC people changed their shirts back

If its a nothing burger, why would they change back? Seems suspicious.

Also, when your candidate has a trustworthiness issue, even if its just the perception of trustworthiness, then people are going to start questioning everything. It illustrates why it's important to run a clean campaign.

Again, a monster of the campaign's making. I'm not throwing this all at Hillary's feet, but her campaign has done some very questionable things.

[Agschmid]

18. The caucuses shown on MSNBC still have people in red shirts...

For both Hillary and Bernie... So not all of the changed their shirts apparently.

21. cant be! I hear that the Sanders campaign in NV is a nightmare of "ratfuckery", while Clinton's

is as pure as the driven snow!
