In reply to the discussion: It's Official: Team Clinton "is worried" about Bernie Sanders [View all]Divernan
(15,480 posts)49. Oh, yes I can. Sanders campaign didn't do that; HRC's did.
Check out the article with the photo of Hillary with the three plants. Now you are free to claim that Bernie did this IF you have one scintilla, one shred of proof. But you don't, so I just expect more dodging and deflection.
HEADLINE: Campaign staff DROVE 'ordinary' Iowans to Hillary's first campaign stop - including health care 'lobbyist in training' who was an Obama campaign intern and Biden chauffeur/blockquote]
SUB-HEADLINES:
Austin Bird sat for coffee on Tuesday morning in the town of LeClaire, Iowa, chatting with Hillary Clinton as photographers snapped pictures
News reports called him a 'student' and her campaign called it an unscripted event
But Clinton's Iowa political director Troy Price drove Bird and two other people to the coffee house
Bird is a hospital government relations official who interned with Barack Obama's 2012 presidential campaign
The Iowa Democratic Party, which Price ran until a month ago, tasked him to be Joe Biden's driver during an October Senate campaign trip in Davenport
From body of article:
'We were asked to come to a meeting with Troy, the three of us, at the Village Inn.'
The other two, he confirmed, were University of Iowa College Democrats president Carter Bell and Planned Parenthood of the Heartland employee Sara Sedlacek.
'It was supposed to be a strategy meeting,' Bird recalled, 'to get our thoughts about issues. But then all of a sudden he says, "Hey, we have Secretary Clinton coming in, would you like to go meet her?"' 'And then we got in a car Troy's car and we went up to the coffee house, and we sat at a table and then Hillary just came up and talked with us.'
Bird said 'we all were called.' 'I mean, Troy asked us all to do to go to a meeting with him. And we didn't really know what it was about. I mean, he did. He knew.'
It's unclear how many Iowans featured in photographs with Clinton that rocketed around the country on Tuesday were planted.[

Events like that are always pre-screened, and the most avid supporters are always up front...

Bernie, on the other hand, is more worried about the people. Maybe that is why he is
