Hillary Clinton takes a swipe at Bernie Sanders as she claims victory in Nevada

TheWeek, 6:33 ET, February 20, 2016


Hillary Clinton thanked supporters Saturday after numerous media outlets projected her the winner over Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in the Nevada Democratic caucuses. "Some may have doubted us, but we never doubted each other," Clinton said in her victory speech to supporters at the Caesars Palace hotel in Las Vegas. "This one's for you."

But after expressing her gratitude, she pivoted her attention to the competition. Clinton acknowledged that while Americans are "right to be angry," specifically mentioning the drinking water crisis in Flint, Michigan, and Wall Street, "we're also hungry for real solutions."

"The truth is we aren't a single-issue country," Clinton said, taking a not-so-subtle swipe at Sanders and his singular message of economic inequality. "We need more than a plan for the big banks."



Not the gracious winner many would like to see, let alone her distortion of Senator Sanders' record.

is so much more despicable than a sore loser. Doesn't she realize she'll need to woo these people If she wins the primary?

She can't win graciously, she's very peeved she has to work for it.

Bernie's message. Deftly accomplished, BTW, if people don't recognize it for what it was.

She's setting the groundwork for young Bernie supporters to come over once she wins the nomination.

I thought the above was fairly obvious.

If you don't think her 6-point win in NV was good enough, you'll get your wish when Bernie gets clobbered in SC and in all the big states on Super Tuesday.

I thought she looked relieved, elated and grateful, as well she should. Given that Bernie had twice the ground support in NV, and with all the talk of a Bernie wave, I think she and most others could have expected different results. She was gracious and happy. Now, on to Hill Country.

If she keeps this up and she's the nominee, there's no way she wins in November.

The DNC and the GOP are two wings on the same bird. We, the 99%, are the worms. She will continue the dirty tricks to divide us and generate so much ill will that some of us won't be able to hold our nose to cast a vote for her. She doesn't care. The end game is to ensure the 1% wins. Ego wise, I'm sure she'd like to be President, but the overall goal is that we, the unwashed 99%, lose. That would be under a HRC presidency, or a Trump, Rubio, Cruz, or Bloomberg presidency.

We have one Democratic Party candidate that is trying to infuse energy, bring youth and the disenfranchised into the process, and to bring us together to build a better economy, restore fairness in taxes, bring back oversight to banks and Wall St. The other candidate works for Wall St., works to divide, and will assuredly get us involved in war. She cares about Flint, but backs fracking which pollutes and poisons farm land and drinking water?

Just not getting how or why people are buying into her act.
