2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Bringing us Together: Hillary Clinton Aide Tells Journalist: F**k Bernie Sanders [View all]
Reflecting on Clinton's double-digit victory, the anonymous senior aide told Politico: "We kicked ass tonight," adding, I hope this convinces Bernie to tone it down. If not, fuck him.
Late last month, the Clinton campaign delayed signing on to debate Sanders in Brooklyn, New York, saying they would consider adding the event if the Vermont senator changed his "tone."
The dig was a stark departure from the Democratic race's generally diplomatic rules of engagement. After months of amicably agreeing to disagree, the claws came out while campaigning in New York, Clinton's adopted home state and Sanders' birthplace.

Sure, one aide's ill-advised comment really needs to be 'debated' here, doesn't it?

Outrageous. Especially since no self respecting Sanders supporter would say that about Hillary!

The winner isn't the one who grovels at the feet of the loser. It's the loser who gets to grovel.
