Apparently Clintons remarks did not win over any Sanders supporters last night....

[peacebird]

"Clinton's attempts to reach out to Sanders supporters in the crowd of 2,200 drew some to their feet to hold up pro-Sanders signs in silent protest, while others were more vocal in their disapproval. Sanders and O'Malley “have a lot of good ideas and we share a lot of the same values,” she said, drawing scattered laughs and “no!” shouts from Sanders supporters.
Some booed when Clinton said she’s the only candidate in the race who’s pledged to “raise middle-class incomes, not middle-class taxes.” Sanders supports the FAMILY Act, which would increase payroll taxes by 0.2 percent, working out to $1.38 a week for the median worker. He argues that it’s a small price to pay for the expansion of paid family and medical leave benefits that's part of the bill while Clinton says she will pay for the same programs with increased effective tax rates on the wealthy and corporations."

[Ed Suspicious]

1. She had this sort of faux anger thing going last night that I found terribly off-putting.

Obviously I'm a bit biased.

[Snotcicles]

10. Yeah, I find it unbecoming too. eom

[George II]

15. Unbecoming? Is that because a woman should be "becoming"?

[roguevalley]

23. no.it's bad for anyone to use

[HerbChestnut]

31. Shove off!

Stop hiding behind Hillary's gender.

[CorporatistNation]

47. The "Tide" Is A Turnn'in! K and R!

She and her supporters becoming desperATE...and it SHOWS!

[840high]

34. Leave it to Hillary to tell

us she's a woman. Go away.

[cherokeeprogressive]

37. Yer funny.

[beam me up scottie]

40. LOLOLOL!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

52. You can't be serious.

[rhett o rick]

72. And boom out comes the gender card. nm

[Doctor_J]

83. in fairness it was reply #15

Fourteen duers weighed in before the victim card was played

[rhett o rick]

90. I am sure the irony is lost on those that use the gender card. They demand that HRC

be treated the same as all candidates and yet when the chips are down, boom they want her to be treated special.

[INdemo]

56. their internal polling probably showed they're losing Iowa !

Could this be 2008?

[haikugal]

78. I've noticed that. She uses 'the voice', or tries to and I find it off putting as well. nt

[dlwickham]

2. Sanders' supporters booed Hillary?

what a surprise

[beam me up scottie]

5. Yeah, her supporters would never do something like that:

Hell even Carly's supporters didn't boo Bernie on his birthday.

[Amimnoch]

18. disgusting behavior.

I'm certainly not at all above the tit-for-tat's and exchange of insults here during primary season.

I do find that behavior disgusting though. If I had the privilege of meeting Senator Sanders, I would be respectful.

[rhett o rick]

73. Maybe you don't realized that we are at war. The 99% is fighting for it's life, in some ways

literally. 50,000,000 Americans living in poverty because of the greed of the American Aristocracy. This is a class war and HRC (worth approx $50,000,000) is fighting for her friends in the Aristocracy. It's past time for being polite to those that are trying to loot all our resources.

[haikugal]

79. I think some people don't realize how serious we are and why.

They don't get it, at all.

[Autumn]

84. ^^^This^^^

[Dawson Leery]

29. Sanders base has much in common with Trump's.

[SammyWinstonJack]

32. Ugh.

[tazkcmo]

33. Hi Pot! n/t

[kenfrequed]

74. Uh...

Minus the xenophobia, racism, wealth entitlement, homophobia, misogynistic, trickle down nonsense, warmongering, scapegoating, poor bashing, anti union, anti veteran...

I'm sorry I lost track of where I was amidst the pure absurdity of your post.

[monmouth4]

3. The road to the coronation is getting a bit bumpy....

n/t

[madokie]

8. The coronation that won't be televised

is what this is going to be

[George II]

16. But the road to the nomination is smooth as glass (and no, this is NOT where Obama was in 2008!):

[highprincipleswork]

21. And Bernie is not Obama. He's better!

[justhanginon]

25. In your dreams!!!!!! n/t

[highprincipleswork]

43. No, not in my dreams. In everything he says and does and the authenticity thereof.

But I know. Not everybody wants a Progressive America. Correct that. The majority of people do. They just fall prey to the resident propaganda too easily, which is why the vast majority of Americans keep sliding into an economic abyss from which they will never recover with the kind of Democrats we keep putting forward.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

54. Authenticity is the right word. Go Bernie!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!

[reformist2]

22. Hillary's chart will follow the stock market - a weird prediction, but I think it will prove true.

[A Simple Game]

24. Looks pretty insurmountable, makes you wonder why she would bother trolling for Bernie supporters.

Smart woman, think she might know something we don't?

[George II]

39. She's not "trolling", she's campaigning like any blue-blooded DEMOCRAT does.

[KoKo]

64. "Blue Blooded Democrat?"

[haikugal]

80. Amazing isn't it?!

[KoKo]

85. Indeed....

[hootinholler]

68. Don't know if you're aware of the expression Blue-Blood

Which indicates royalty by birthright.



You are very accurate when you say she's like any Blue-Blooded politician.

[KoKo]

86. Oh..I'm very aware of what it means:

Full Definition of Blue Blood

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/blue%20blood


1 ˈblü-ˈbləd : membership in a noble or socially prominent family

2 -ˌbləd : a member of a noble or socially prominent family


-------------

[Utopian Leftist]

77. Hillary . . . because her blood is bluer than yours!

Hillary: "The peasants are revolting!"

We need another stern disciplinarian for President . . . about as much as we need to bring back the French Aristocracy!

[KoKo]

87. well...there's that...

but, then again, that's what those "Blue Blooders" do best. "Regime Change" is always with them to suit their purposes.

As a matter of fact: They are obessed with Regime Change no matter Where it Is or How it is Done!

[bvar22]

81. Oopsie!

Tell us, what is life like up there among the "Blue Bloods"?

blue blood
noun
noun: blue blood; noun: blueblood
a person of noble birth.

[emsimon33]

4. How could she. We know who and what she really is.

We have no delusions or illusions about Hillary. Her record speaks for itself as do her choices!

[Thinkingabout]

6. Using this figure it is someone making $780 a week and

Less than $41,000 a year. This is placing a tax burden on low income at the same rate as it does those in the 1% bracket. Yes it is taking money from many who can not make it on the amount they are getting.

[madokie]

11. a buck 38 is going to hurt them LOL

I'm sure the benefit will more than make up for it.

Do you ever think about what you're typing?

[Plucketeer]

27. Hell, you can't even buy a soda for a buck thirty-eight any more!

Hillary's "faithful" are relying on a divine convention.

[madokie]

28. more like

pulling shit out of their you know what. I don't mind someone wanting to think stupid shit but when they try to push it off on me and expect me to accept it I don't like that

[Plucketeer]

36. You did ask them

the right question earlier.

[kenfrequed]

76. I wouldn't lose sleep

I have seen that posters post for a long time and given their positions Thinkingabout seems to be at best a very economically conservative democrat who is against any taxation increases.

[jeff47]

69. You thought taxing the rich was a terrible idea when it was to pay for tuition.

Yet now you're claiming taxing the rich is a fantastic idea.

[CharlotteVale]

7. Sanders wants to help people like me...Clinton wants to help herself.

[99th_Monkey]

9. "the only candidate .. who’s pledged to raise middle-class incomes" <--BIG FAT LIE. $15 an hour

not only $12.. what a crock of poop

[PowerToThePeople]

13. The issue is

Last edited Thu Jan 7, 2016, 11:49 PM - Edit history (1)

People that those rates of pay are not "technically" middle class. Middle class begins at about 40$ per hour.

The people like us are just poor.

[Art_from_Ark]

35. Damn-- if "middle class" starts at $40/hour,

then "middle class" is an unreachable goal for me.

[PowerToThePeople]

38. It is unreachable for the majority

of Americans.

That is why we need a political revolution.

Bernie 2016!

[SecularMotion]

12. President Clinton was more successful

NASHUA, N.H. — Alex Mendola, a 19-year-old from Amherst, New Hampshire who will be casting his first ballot in next month's presidential primary, is exactly the type of young voter who has helped fuel Sen. Bernie Sanders' improbable lead over Hillary Clinton in the first-in-the-nation primary state.

And Mendola was a firm Sanders supporter — that is until Monday, when he walked into Nashua Community College Monday morning to hear Bill Clinton pitch voters on his wife.

"I was a solid Bernie voter, but now I'm not so sure," Mendola said after listening to the former president's remarks, which focused on the stakes of the election and Hillary Clinton's experience. "If Bernie won the primary and lost the general election, I think that would be disaster. So even if don't like Hillary as much as Bernie, I feel more confident that she would win the general election. And I think that's what's going to persuade me to vote for Hillary if I do."

He was not the only one to express that view here, and the Clinton campaign is hoping many more voters will follow.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

14. Alex Mendola, a 19-year-old

his wisdom must be acknowledged

[passiveporcupine]

17. She is so full of shit

Clinton said she’s the only candidate in the race who’s pledged to “raise middle-class incomes, not middle-class taxes.”

[SoapBox]

30. Ditto.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

19. Good.

[silvershadow]

20. They are still trying to gin up some kind of fake narrative to match their campaign.

I'm sure several devastating losses in a row will set them straight. It is a real shame they have to embarrass themselves like this, though.

[WillyT]

26. HUGE K & R !!! - Thank You !!!

[George II]

41. Sanders has so few REAL supporters, I'm sure she wasn't trying to win any of them over.

She's already in General Election mode.

[beam me up scottie]

42. So few supporters?

[reddread]

44. he cant win

[beam me up scottie]

46. I guess they're not REAL supporters.

It's a holographic image!!!

[reddread]

48. photoshop

thats really a Hillary campaign stop.

[beam me up scottie]

49. LOL!

It's amazing what you read here.

[reddread]

51. those loathsome Sanders supporters will do anything

except join the reality based community.
Just a few short weeks until Bernie Berns out and Warren endorses Hillary again!
Come on everybody, lets sing the Hillary for President theme song!

[beam me up scottie]

53. The beatings will continue until you fall in line!

Or face the PURGE!

[reddread]

55. that purge is gonna be tricky

[KoKo]

65. What? Calling Supporters of a Candidate for Dem Party Nomination "Loathsome?"

[reddread]

67. arent the supporters the problem?

I heard Bernie supporters are praying for economic devastation at home.
Im pretty sure Bernie supporters cause cancer and will be the death of Bernie's campaign.
Maybe a flashlight and some GPS will help detect OBVIOUS

[Betty Karlson]

45. Indeed she didn't. All she did was show how disconnected she is from reality.

The 90-ies are over. Stop campaigning as if they aren't.

[JoePhilly]

50. How many Hillary supporters is Bernie converting?

Bernie needs to convert far more Hillary supporters to have any chance to win the primary.

Meanwhile, Hillary can win with her existing support levels.

[Vinca]

57. It's a shame Hillary is such a risk in the general.

This whole election is becoming terrifying. This has become the year of the outsider and Hillary is as insider as insider can get. I used to think if Trump was the nominee she could beat him easily, but I'm hearing more and more stories about Democrats who support Trump . . . sort of like Reagan Democrats only dumber. If Republicans who think Trump is a nut still vote for him over Hillary, she could be in trouble.

[tularetom]

59. She won't win the general election with her "existing support levels"

Right now she barely edges out Trump in polls. Trump! That's pathetic.

And after months of negative ads dragging up Clinton slime and scandals, she's toast. The lesser of two evils won't cut it anymore, especially when it isn't really that much lesser.

So yeah, if her goal is to win the nomination, she has a pretty good shot at that. But that's as far as she's going to get.

[JoePhilly]

60. I guess you can hope she loses if you want.

Up to you.

[tularetom]

63. I don't "hope" anything except that she loses the primary

Before she can lose the general election.

[tex-wyo-dem]

71. I agree with you...I fear Hillary would be a...

Disaster for the Democratic Party, and by extension, the rest of us. If she becomes the nominee, the repugs will mercilessly beat her campaign with negative everything...and they have lots and lots of material to draw from. I fear she would lose the GE, because she simply can't get the independent vote.

[merrily]

58. I believe and trust Bernie. I don't know what Hillary will evolve into next.

But I do have a feeling that she will be the same as she's been all her life.

[elias49]

61. She's a chameleon. Has been all her life. nt

[merrily]

62. I would put it this way: she's been the same all her life, but her rhetoric is chameleon-like.

[sufrommich]

66. Did Sanders get the same treatment from Clinton and O'Malley

supporters at this democratic event? Yeah,I didn't think so.

[Sheepshank]

70. Well at 60% I suppose she could win over some Bernie Supporters and get to 65%

but I don't think it's necessary...do you?

[rhett o rick]

75. "Clinton says she will pay for the same programs with increased effective tax rates on the wealthy

wealthy and corporations." What a laugh. By the way the "tax rates" don't mean a thing for the wealthy and big corporations. They simply don't pay what the rates are, they find loopholes.

If she were to try to raise the taxes (not rates) on her wealthy friends, they'd demand their money back.

Hillary Clinton is worth close to $50,000,000. She is an American Aristocrat.

[KoKo]

88. ...!

How could we believe her given the lifestyle she lives these days? Why should she give a damn about the rest of us? What did "WE" ever do for her?

[rhett o rick]

89. It's clear that amassing a hugh personal wealth is very important to her. I think it will

influence her decisions. Quid Pro Quo is what her sponsors are counting on.

[Doctor_J]

82. disingenuous on the tax issue as usual. She wants students to have skin (money) in the game,

Then tries to make political hay out of a $1.38 tax hike to pay for family and medical leave for every worker. No moral center, just politics.
