12. Turning the table on the posts "I haven't met a real live Hillary supporter"
I'd say, which is what you usually read. In fact there are some of those posts in this thread.

I haven't met an Obama supporter either.

4. Wow
I live in NYC, work in politics and still have not met a real live Hillary supporter, outside of people who have been told by thier union to support her.

5. How do you work in - presumably Democratic - politics
and not know any Hillary supporters, when she's easily the most popular candidate we have.

I'd be interested in that explanation.

6. My theory
Because many of her "supporters" are not passionate enough to consider themselves supporters, sure there are many people I know who accept the reality that they live in Hillary's state and must as a part of their organization support her or face the consequences later. But as far as real gung ho supporters, not one. I did see a woman walking down the street the other day wearing a Hillary button though, first one I saw...

8. So now it's "gung-ho" supporters you don't know
The question remains though: how do you work in - again, presumably Democratic politics - and not know any supporters of our main candidate for the Presidency? It just doesn't make any sense. You would have to not get around at all and meet virtually no other Democrats for that to be.

If you don't want to divulge anything, then fine, but don't go around inflating your credibility about how you are involved in Dem? politics but don't know any strong Hillary supporters without explaining yourself.

7. Lucky you...spotting a real live Obama supporter is rarer than seeing ChupaCabras...
I thought they only lived in fiction and here on DU.:evilgrin:

9. You've met many, many Obama supporters.
We just don't bother to tell you who we are. (and we can spell "caucus.")

14. Don't worry about it. No one takes this person seriously.
They haven't for months.

That goes for the 2 of us. I went to a Democratic club event last night. There were no Hillary supporters there, and this is NY.
