Related: About this forumClinton Surrogates Attack Sanders' Wife
Its amazing that for months and months the Hillary Clinton campaign and her followers scream sexist at every negative comment even ones on her policies, and then in one night can shatter that whole narrative as well as the one of the Bernie Bro by attacking Jane Sanders looks, her appearance, the kind of clothes she wears, or her weight.
Keep it up, Hillarites. You're making yourselves look just so, so good.

The college story has sidelined her for now but she certainly helped his campaign.

(25,517 posts)it shouldn't be too hard for you to identify and dismiss them as trolls. My point is that people like the OP and the source used couldn't even see the most obvious trolls (I mean, come on, "HillarySuxNutz"?) because they were too busy hyperventilating. Instead of taking absolutely everything at face value and posting this garbage as quickly as their fingers can copy and paste, apply some freaking common sense.
As for "both sides are bad", two wrongs don't make a right. "She did it first" is not a compelling argument.
Armstead
(47,803 posts)And I am not saying two wrong make a right. Wrong is wrong, no matter where it comes from.
What is also wrong is that one side has decided to tar a candidate and all of his supporters -- the vast majority of whom are just average well-behaved folks -- as some alien horde of barbarians.

Hillary supporter, huh?
Sam Grady is libertarian, a Pat Buchanan fan, and posted "SHAME on Hillary Clinton for continuing to run for president when people don't want her to!!"
That took me two minutes.
You guys are hilarious. Try some critical thinking and deductive reasoning once in a while.

They would rather see Trump than Sanders.

OMG, what a bunch of nasty clickbait. A bunch of the other tweets are from obvious libertarians, too. Even a cursory glance reveals an inordinate amount of interest in Gary Johnson and Ron Paul.
Number23
(24,544 posts)ACTUAL real life ones, don't do the same thing in Wyoming that they did in Nevada. Which is kind of a moot point anyway because the Wyoming folks have already received love letters from Sanders supporters.
In the aftermath, top Wyoming Democratic officials, especially those publicly backing Clinton, reported receiving angry calls, letters and threats.
http://www.politico.com/story/2016/05/democrats-wyoming-bernie-sanders-revolt-223668
It never ends. But yes, let us all pretend that @IHateHillary381 on Twitter is the one we should really be worried about.
wildeyed
(11,243 posts)Wyoming has a needlessly complex system. BUT it was that way long before Sanders came along, and if Clinton had won by that much, the same thing would happen. There is nothing that can be done about it now. Making nasty calls or raising chairs over your head isn't going to change the outcome.
The thing that was infuriating about NV was that the delegate totals reflected the actual popular vote totals, so I could not figure out what they were so mad about.
Armstead
(47,803 posts)Every asshole who attacks Cklinton in a vicious and out of bounds way is trotted out here and used as an example of what a horrible man Sanders is and how those of us who support him are terrible people.

(10,478 posts)I have commented on several occasions that she has a Palin-esque level of contrived ignorance when speaking about the issues; she tries to strike that I'm-one-of-you down-homey-folksy images, and it flops miserably. I think she's a poor voice on the Sanders campaign trail, and am not at all surprised that she's been benched from the talk show circuit lately.
Her looks do not come into the equation.

(68,825 posts)So where are those posts from? Are the even real? Jane has issues with her college thing...but that is possibly fraud ...nothing to do with that...I have seen posts like that directed at Bill Clinton thought. This is a Bernie site...anyway. It is very sad that Bernie won't get out and stop the crap.

(11,243 posts)Those are Twitter trolls. Most are not even real supporters.
One goes by the handle @hillaryclintonsuxnuts so pretty sure that is not a supporter.
@samgrady mostly tweets about Gary Johnson, so pretty sure that is not a supporter.
@antistatis1962 likes Ron Paul.
Also ironic that Pivot America, the blog making the attack, couldn't find a single female candidate to support.
