Michele Bachmann trolls Hillary Clinton’s struggle to enter subway station

[yuiyoshida]

Hillary Clinton’s well-documented ride on the New York City subway got off to a difficult start on Thursday, and one former presidential candidate is poking fun at the Democratic front-runner.

Clinton faltered not once but four times as she swiped her metro card to enter the subway stop at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. Finally, on her fifth attempt, Clinton’s metro card registered, releasing the turnstile.


The Democrat then rode the train with Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr., who introduced her along the way as “the next president of the United States,” and posed for selfies two stops later outside the 170th Street Station. But cameras had already captured every moment of her struggle in real-time on live television.

Cue former Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann, who took it upon herself to go to the NYC subway on Friday morning to teach Clinton the art of swiping a metro card. “I know you had a tough time, Hillary, trying to figure out how to do the subway system, even though you were the U.S. senator from New York,” the Minnesota native says in a video tutorial she posted on Twitter.

As soon as Bachmann is done speaking, she swipes her metro card once and walks through the turnstile, adding mockingly, “just that easy, just that quick.”

1. She is truly desperate for attention.

I recommend a cage match with Sarah Palin.

2. Hillary: "One of us!"

Actually, no, not really.

3. Bachman is batshit crazy and desperate for attention.

She really needs to find another line of work, maybe she can get a job as a rodeo clown.

4. This woman represents nothing but hate and intolerance. A very ugly person, having nothing

at all to do with her looks.

5. If Hillary got the vote of everyone who struggled with those Metrocard readers

she'd win 90% of the vote in NYC.

6. This exposes one thing: NYC MetroCard is outdated technology. Swipe, it should be a proximity card!

.


The whole magnetic card reader thing is so 1990's. Plagued with misreads, especially if swiping fast, slow, on angle.

They should use a proximity card that you just tap on a reader pad. You buy, you reload, you keep for years.


If you're a visitor, there's a temporary card reader option.

7. With regard to Hillary: "her" metro card?

As if she had ever owned, paid for, or used a metro card in her life?
