William Clinton: Sanders supporters 'will be toast’ He is trying to win over Bernie supporters.

[imagine2015]

That'll work!

[tonyt53]

1. Well I guess bill is responding to so many Bernie supporters that say they won't vote for Hillary

Or, they are saying that they will vote for Trump. Bill ain't beggin' ya or kissing your ass.

[Kelvin Mace]

4. But isn't that the "pragmatic" thing to do?

Isn't that the lesser of two evils? Kiss ass or Trump presidency?

Seems to me that if Sanders' supporters are supposed to swallow their ethics, pride and dignity, then Bill Clinton can do the same.

[MariaThinks]

31. how arrogant to expect the former President to kiss ass.

[Kelvin Mace]

83. How arrogant to expect people of conviction to kiss ass

If HRC supporters, including former former presidents think that it is party above all else in order to win at all costs, then they can bloody well pucker up.

Personally I haven't asked anyone to kiss my ass, but it certainly wouldn't kill HRC supporters treat me like a human being and be polite.

If THAT little bit beneath your dignity, you need to stop preaching "pragmatism".

[adigal]

21. Bernie received 12 million votes. Obama beat Romney by 2.5 million votes.

Hillary is smart enough to court Bernie voters. I think Bill is losing it. What a stupid thing to say.

[Cobalt Violet]

87. he's really dumb for someone who is suppose to be so smart.

Book smart isn't smart at all.

[okieinpain]

26. +1 n/t.

[DonViejo]

2. Context means everything....

Bill Clinton: Sanders supporters 'will be toast’

Former President Bill Clinton did not mince his words when Bernie Sanders supporters heckled him during a campaign event for Hillary Clinton.

“If I were them, I’d be screaming too because they know they will be toast by election day,” Clinton said, according to a Fox News reporter at the event.

[TDale313]

9. Yeah, no, doesn't help.

It's still a totally counterproductive and insensitive remark aimed at people whose votes you eventually want to win over. Not as bad as tea party left comments, but divisive and unnecessary.

[adigal]

22. Bill looks terrible - I think he is losing it. nt

[rock]

42. What are they children?

Do they need to be patronized?

[Gore1FL]

55. They are voters. Children can't vote.

Patronized? No. they shouldn't be antagonized, however.

[TDale313]

64. Exactly. You're not generally gonna win over voters by insulting them.

I can't believe that's a concept that needs to be explained.

[rock]

72. I guess they need to act like adults then

Too bad.

[Gore1FL]

74. Being adult = believing everything you do?

That sounds so very much like an adult point of view.

[Hortensis]

89. It should. Or are you suggesting all

Bernie's supporters are the kind of people who would go heckle an ex-president? That'd be quite an insult to all, when only a few deserve it, as Bill Clinton obviously felt.

[AzDar]

23. Bill Clinton is so ridiculous... has become such a joke- that I genuinely worry about his health.

[moonscape]

69. It's sad. And worrying. n/t

[book_worm]

27. So this was prior to Tuesday's primaries.

[MariaThinks]

29. some people think Clinton should take it and never respond back.

[senz]

66. Some people think politicians shouldn't threaten law-abiding citizens.

[MineralMan]

3. Source? Link? Context?

[pinebox]

6. right above you MM

[MineralMan]

8. I was asking the OP, and didn't see that.

The OP should have included those things, which was my point.

You were not the OP.

[Fla Dem]

90. No audio, no video. Report from a FOX reporter. Like he can be belived.

And even if he did say that, so what. It's Bernie that wanted to steer the Titanic into the iceberg. So maybe he should have said ice cubes instead of toast.

[Txbluedog]

5. Enough is enough

Have some effing respect. He is a former POTUS, and should be addressed as such

[TheKentuckian]

35. Sounds like a fellow citizen to me who can be addressed anyway the addresser elects

[DonViejo]

40. And the former President can respond any way he chooses, correct? n/m

[TheKentuckian]

84. Absolutely, and he can be told to consume a rusty dumpster full of Dicks when he says

stupid shit.

I wasn't the one arguing about respecting some used to be office holder or even a present one, if you aren't in the military one is not obligated to respect and/or be obsequious toward a sitting President much less a former.

[wendylaroux]

60. a former potus,addressed as such??!! lol!!!!!!!!!!!? like he is royalty? avert your eyes serfs.

[qdouble]

7. OP pretends to care about unity, while mockingly dismissing the hope for it

[JoePhilly]

25. yup ... pretty transparent.

[Waiting For Everyman]

10. Nobody owes him ANYTHING.

And I couldn't care less what he thinks.

I'm not very impressed with him either, and I vote, and I'm not alone.

[MariaThinks]

34. you are one vote in 200,000,000

[itsrobert]

11. I am imagining June 16, 2016

[brooklynite]

37. There'll be twittering birds...but they wont be on Bernie's podium.

[DawgHouse]

41. It will be fantastic.

[senz]

70. Maybe your idol will issue an edict for censorship of the American people.

Wouldn't you like that?

[Armstead]

13. Can Hillary get a divorce? It might make her election more palatable.

Or at least tell the Big Dog to put on a muzzle.

[Vinca]

14. Think of all the free time he's going to have if Hillary is occupied 24/7.

Bubba's dream come true.

[wendylaroux]

65. he can get back on the special top secret computer again!!!!

sitting there in his wife beater under shirt,drinking red bull all night.just like he did when

h was sos. fun times!!

[Lizzie Poppet]

17. It was a "two-fer" in '92...and it's a two-fer today.

Only in '92, one of them wasn't showing signs of early-stage dementia...

[marions ghost]

86. Of course it's a two-fer

anyone who doesn't see that is delusional...

Agreed, Bill has gone batty. He'll be padding around the White House thinking he's the prez again. You'd think he'd want to be as far away as he could from the scene of his past trials and troubles.

Narcissism + dementia =

[senz]

62. Yes, they need to up the secrecy.

Can't have people seeing them for what they are.

[djean111]

15. On the other hand, there is nothing he can say that would win me over.

I just avoid looking at him or listening to him. A bit skeevy. And Third Way. Does not mean well for us.

[senz]

49. True. They do not mean well for us.

This election is about eliminating any remaining power of the people.

[corkhead]

16. A.K.A. Bullhorn Bill

[senz]

43. Remember the people's petitions to have Bill's illegal election tampering stopped?

They were swept aside.

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."

[msongs]

18. its a colloquial phrase like stick a fork in it, or that's the way the cookie crumbles. nt

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

19. William Clinton? Didn't he used to be somebody?

“There is not a more perilous or immoral habit of mind than the sanctifying of success.” Lord Acton

[senz]

33. God what a great quote about the sanctifying of success. Thank you.

I'm repeating it.

[anotherproletariat]

20. From the news reports I saw here in the Bay Area, this was said in response to hecklers.

Seems appropriate to me.

[BobbyDrake]

88. Yes, the context of the Bernie supporters being rude hecklers has to be left out for this to matter.

I've seen several threads about this subject, and every one started by a Bernie supporter makes it out like Clinton's remarks came out of nowhere, rather than in response to yet another instance of Bernie supporters being unable to listen to anyone other than themselves.

[senz]

24. The true ugliness slips out. See him for what he is.

[MariaThinks]

38. agreed. Some people can be so rude to a former President.

[senz]

45. Then bow down before your betters. No need for democracy.

To hell with the people, right?

[floriduck]

28. Fuck Bill!

[Lizzie Poppet]

53. That's usually his plan.

[MFM008]

30. He probably said it in anger

Why don't we cut him a break and move on?
Holding grudges is bad for your health.

[libdem4life]

32. He's going to need a full time nanny...preferably male.

The thoughts of Bill Clinton, loose in the WH, with little or nothing to do...plus a little dementia. The press will be all over it, IMO. So what could possibly go wrong.

That's about the only area I feel sorry for HRC.

[senz]

36. Don't assume that he will get back into the WH.

[MariaThinks]

39. transparent comment.

[libdem4life]

46. Thanks for the reminder. I certainly hope not.

[WhiteTara]

44. He is a horrible surrogate.

[senz]

47. Yes, he lets down the mask.

Which is a good thing.

[libdem4life]

48. The Twofer v. 2.0 ... be interesting if he continues to bullhorn and

make stupid comments.

[DonViejo]

50. Vice President Nelson Rockefeller responding to

Vietnam War opponents in Binghamton, September 1976.

[senz]

51. Thanks for NAFTA, Bill. It was great losing all those jobs. People loved it.

[Ferd Berfel]

78. or...

[senz]

82. Yep. Nice summary.

If I could have fit it a title line, I would have.

[senz]

52. Thanks for the Telecom Act, Bill. Media monopoly has been so good for this country.

[senz]

54. Thanks for WELFARE REFORM, Bill. Why should government help the people?

[senz]

56. Thanks for the Crime Bill, Mr. Clinton. Put those "superpredators" in private prisons!

Good for business.

[wendylaroux]

57. doesn't matter what he or anyone says at this point.

the only decent person to run for prez in many years,has lost

to a carefully coordinated primary. people only have the illusion

they have a choice in voting.

[senz]

59. Yep. They snatched the nomination from the only decent candidate.

[wendylaroux]

61. when is this from?

[WhiteTara]

67. It isn't a when

it's a who.
It's Inquisitr.com

[senz]

80. Oh, are the quotations and the people quoted incorrect?

[senz]

79. Three days before the AP crowned her.

It's in the link.

[senz]

58. Thanks for ending Glass-Steagal, Bill. We know how much you and she love Wall Street.

[senz]

63. Think about what Bill said. All who do not support Hillary "will be toast."

He is telling us what he and she have in store for the American people.

Wake up call.

[felix_numinous]

68. Bernie Sanders wants everyone to be lifted up

and like me, even though they may not like me, I support everyone's human and civil rights and right to representation. We have gone after blatant corrupt practices that endanger us all.

The Clintons and supporters on the other hand, have spent precious time and money character assassinating us and attacking us, and ignoring all of the vital issues of the day, and shifting any possible discussions away from fighting corruption.

It sure has been a learning process for us. Censoring the truth will not make it go away.

[democrattotheend]

71. Hillary needs to put a muzzle on him

Seriously, what does he think he will accomplish for her by taunting/threatening Sanders supporters?

What was the context of this? Was he talking about politicians who endorsed Bernie, or about Sanders voters?

[obamanut2012]

73. "William" Clinton lolz

You guys!

[bigwillq]

75. Can you please post direct quote or link?

Thanks.

[atomingai]

76. Someone needs to tell him that he done enough damage.

You disrespect other people, get the nomination, and then say "we're cool"!?


Really?

[grasswire]

77. hahaha!

tone deaf, as usual.

Masochistic, as well, considering what Trump is going to do to him.

[Cobalt Violet]

81. I really hope it's true that Hillary gave him a black eye.

She wins a few points with me if it's true.

[kadaholo]

85. RIGHT...!!!!
