She doesn't directly say the youth are stupid, but she does say she feels sorry for the young people "who believe Bernie's lies" in a tone positively dripping with condescension.

Of trashing the left while trying to curry favor with Republicans. They can barely conceal their contempt for us. Meanwhile they embrace Kissinger and David Brock (who is and always was a slime ball but I guess now he's our slime ball. Yay?)

from almost from the very beginning. They started with patronizing condescension, and moved to insulting us when they saw the large numbers lining up.

The further downhill Clinton goes, the uglier it gets.

When supporters of a candidate post, post after post about how "desperate" the other candidate another candidate is ... do they realize how desperate they appear?

But the candidate them self. Yikes, that's sad. We specially for a formidable, inevitable frontrunner who supposedly has already won. Really bad politics too. If she is the winner, she'll need to win over those she just shat on in a few short months.

Bernie supporters can grow up and realize that differences in political priorities/tactics is not being shat upon.

And so not a part of the base! After all, they have been steadfast supporters of the Democrats, when to truly achieve basehood you need to constantly threaten to withhold your vote until you get exactly what YOU want.

Now I don't think all of them deserve the insults. My nephew and 16-year old daughter support him. But I have to say that what a lot of the Sanders supporters post makes me fear for the Republic.

It's why she won't be able to unite the Democratic Party should she be the nominee.

Hope we choose wisely!!

There's still a chance to avoid what should be obvious at this point.

HRC supporters in states that haven't voted yet should see this, be horrified, and switch their support to a much better and much stronger candidate NOW.
