Wonder How Representative these Clinton Voters Were?

"I've followed Bernie on Facebook for years," said Queens voter Gloria Blanco, who's been living in Jackson Heights for 42 years. "And I've always thought 'this guy oughta run for president' and then he did. But there's something about Hillary, she has a little bit more experience and how to handle people in the middle east and foreign affairs and everything. I was Hillary all the way, but then yesterday I thought, 'Maybe I should just vote for Bernie,' but it only lasted 24 hours and then I woke up this morning and said, 'I'm voting for Hillary.'"


never read the NY Times articles about HRC's debacle in Libya, the Iraq war vote, the $10 million Clinton Found Donation from Saudi Arabia, the massive arms sales to Saudi Arabia, the decision to arm "friendly" rebels in Syria to topple Assad, blocking and obstructing the 2012 UN attempts for a peace accord in Syria, etc.......

"I voted for Clinton. I would have voted for Bernie Sanders, it's just that he's so old," said Leon Ivey, who has lived in the neighborhood for 37 years.

"Bernie Sanders is up there in age. Do you think he's actually going to finish his term? No disrespect to older people—know what I mean?"


doesn't know Bernie does daily pushups, is in excellent health, only 6 yrs older than HRC (who takes daily Coumadin and is in questionable health)
