2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWhen a candidate turns to insulting supporters of their opponent, they desperate.
Hillary has taken to calling Bernie's supporters idiots or naifs or worse.
Sad and desperate and it won't help her at all.

(38,437 posts)When you do not mind distorting every single word, the possibilities are endless.

(23,156 posts)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.

(1,947 posts)Fracking anyone, keystone anyone, tpp anyone, private prison money anyone.. the list goes on and on. She has more flip flops than Payless Shoe Source.

(7,820 posts)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?)

(46,179 posts)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.

(31,849 posts)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?
morningfog
(18,115 posts)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.

(31,849 posts)Bernie supporters can grow up and realize that differences in political priorities/tactics is not being shat upon.

(375 posts)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.

(375 posts)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.
jfern
(5,204 posts)They are a vile disgusting campaign who deserves to lose.
When Sanders supporters call us Hillary supporters corporate shills that is a high form of praise! Gotcha, you corporate shill!
jfern
(5,204 posts)The Hillary campaign is saying that Bernie supporters are all sexist and racist white males.

(3,795 posts)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.
