Clinton Campaign Accuses Sanders of Trying to Win Nomination

[LiberalArkie]

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—The war of words between the two Democratic camps heated up over the weekend, as the Clinton campaign accused Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders of “blatantly attempting to win the Democratic nomination for President.”

Appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” the Clinton campaign spokesman Harland Dorrinson said that Sanders’s actions in the past few weeks “left little doubt as to what his true intentions are—namely, to be the Party’s nominee.”


“He’s been raising money, he’s been running in primaries, and, yes, he’s been winning caucuses,” the Clinton aide said. “It’s time for Bernie Sanders to come clean with the American people and admit what he’s really up to.”

“It’s deeply troubling that what appeared at first to be a purely symbolic candidacy has turned into something else entirely,” he said.

2. Is it real? or is it Borowitz? Awfully close to the mark, because I think this is exactly

how they feel - Bernie was supposed to be purely symbolic, and then hand his supporters over to Hillary.

3. Ha!! Good one

This is precious!

7. Sadly, it's not really satire. When her campaign says she's "losing patience" and wants to

"disqualify" and whatever else it was she said, it's clear she is extremely annoyed that he has gotten in the way of her expected coronation. Look, no other top Dems got in the race this year, why not? There had to have been an "understanding" within the Dem Party that she was to be the nominee. Then along comes Bernie, a true champion of the people, who stands up for them no matter what the establishment has decided. How dare he???

9. I know, losing patience, not liking his tone, etc... She has a serious entitlement issue.

And many among her masses aren't buying it.

11. Disgusting. Even more so since the party seems to have gone along with it.

She must have threatened them with scorched earth and she's now going to do it anyway. Anything's fair game for her ambition.

15. Ok I do think this is funny

Although I think it would be funny in reverse too. I've heard people get upset that Hillary is "ambitious" and that she is spending to much time fundraising - i.e. is trying to win an election.
