It is obvious to me the joke. As Hillary hears "CP" she appears to not know the term and inserts her own understanding of what the initials mean as " Cautious politician" .

Seems fine to me. Not saying it's a good joke. But is is a good way for her, in particular,to interpret it that way.

I just don't see racism here, especially since she takes it in a far different, totally non-racial way.

Seems the Sanders people are reaching.

" she takes it in a far different, totally non-racial way." There's no note of "dog whistle" in there to you?

Who claims his or her favorite group is Bernie Sanders and then talks about "the Sanders people". Another one for the Ignore list.

It took most of the MSM, including the NY Times, about 24 hours to acknowledge it. If Bernie had done it, they would have been on it in 10 minutes and Hillary's campaign and the MSM would be saying that it disqualified from the Presidency and calling on him to drop out. Of course, Bernie would not have been stupid and tone deaf enough to participate in a terrible gag like that.
