You know Hillary won the night when all you hear from Sanders supporters is...

[hrmjustin]

....CONSPIRACY.

HRC Room.

[Treant]

1. The Live Blog I was following

of last night's Town meeting featured an accusation of softballing and conspiracy before Clinton was answering her second question.

So yeah, they clearly realize she's won that round. Hopefully it translates into a solid win in IA!

[SunSeeker]

2. Yes indeed!

[livetohike]

3. Sanders was awful and they know it. Town hall meetings only highlight

his anger and preachiness. He's terrible one on one. He does better in a rally because all he has to do is talk, not be questioned.

[Hekate]

36. +1

[stonecutter357]

4. K&R!

[LexVegas]

5. Bernie got 234 hardballs and 8 softballs. nt

[Coolest Ranger]

14. Would you care to go and complain

in general discussion

[jmowreader]

35. I think our friend is channeling the Bernie supporters

[Iliyah]

6. K & R

[workinclasszero]

7. Poor Bernie

Ha

[NurseJackie]

8. Those threads make me happy! Happy, happy, happy!

[Gothmog]

9. Agreed

I am very amused by these claims

[hamsterjill]

10. Hillary was the clear winner last night.

Hillary comes across as more qualified. End of story. She knows the subject matter better and she is able to communicate her confidence.

Don't get me wrong. I like Bernie. I really do. I like O'Malley, too. Both men have some great ideas. But of the three candidates, Hillary is the most qualified to be President of the United States.

End of story.

[lastone]

17. If your looking for the same

Ole shit sandwich, sure HRC is your candidate. If your sick of the shit in your sandwich you vote for BERNIE SANDERS.

END OF STORY

[OilemFirchen]

29. Bernie Sanders: New, improved shit sandwich.

And it fits on a bumper sticker!

[hamsterjill]

33. oh, kiss my grits!

I'm sick of this. This IS the Hillary group. She's got the experience and the expertise. Bernie is a great guy. But he is lacking greatly on foreign policy.

[Coolest Ranger]

42. Go to General Discussion with your drama

it's not wanted in here

[Agnosticsherbet]

11. I've noticed this tendancy to blame any shortcomings of Sanders

Last edited Tue Jan 26, 2016, 11:07 PM - Edit history (1)

on a monstrous conspiracy by the "PTB" or some other scape goat.

[Rose Siding]

34. It's a tired but common mid-century revolutionary tactic

Blame the establishment first, and scapegoat everyone else is a collaborator. Single issue, so not democratic.

[Bleacher Creature]

12. It really is part of their DNA

They get really offended whenever anyone points out the similarities between Sanders supporters and Trump supporters, but at their core they really are the same from an emotional perspective. In terms of politics, however, they differ mostly in terms of who to blame. On the right, they blame immigrants, poor people, and anyone else who appears different. In terms of the Sanders/Nader crew, their anger is directed at the rich, the so-called establishment, the PTB, the media, etc. And if it doesn't work out for them, it absolutely has to be the result of a conspiracy.

[LannyDeVaney]

13. Their incessent whining does not put them in a good light

NMFM

[George II]

15. Yeah, "conspiracy", but meanwhile Sanders planted an operative for the first question to HRC!

[Cha]

41. Yeah, I read that question to Hillary was from a bernie fan.. she sure showed him how to take

a "tough question" like that and turn it into an opportunity.

"Hillary got the toughest question of the night, and she handled it like a pro"

16. Hastily thrown together by the same establishment

Putting it ALL out there for their establishment candidate, conspiracy- no... A very poorly veiled attempt to tip the scales in her direction - yes. Even impartial observers saw it as an obvious ploy. You can NOT claim the dws and the dnc are doing all they can to marginalize Bernie Sanders because in your heart as well as your head you know it to be true.

[wysi]

18. This is the Hillary Clinton group...

... take your conspiracy theory rubbish elsewhere.

[lastone]

20. Really, what you want is a

Bubble to live in then?

I'm not part on any "group" and don't think restrictions on posting based on your criteria are valid.

[wysi]

21. Try following the DU site rules for a change...

n/t

[FrenchieCat]

25. The bubble is located over at the primary Main forum

This is a forum meant to be the tiny bubble that it is, yes.

If you hadn't noticed, Bernie Sanders house the same small tiny forum, and I would hope that Hillary supporters were not going in there to shit on any Bernie supporters threads.

It's called having some respect and understanding common courtesy, not only for the rules, but for other people who may not agree with you hundred percent about everything.

[William769]

27. This isn't a bubble, but a rubber room you can go play in.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1280

[Coolest Ranger]

43. Do it elsewhere

before a host kicks you from the group. You got all of General Discussion to start all the anti-Hillary stuff you want.

[hrmjustin]

19. This is the HRC room not the Sanders room.

Sanders did not do as well as Hillary and his supporters are acting like petulant children because of it.

[lastone]

22. Ah, the "petulant child" shame

Perhaps if the dnc/dws had any impartiality and didn't call this last minute town hall to shore up their candidate you'd all have a point...

[hrmjustin]

23. It is all a conspiracy with you guys.

You can't win with that.

[Treant]

24. The Sanders Camp

was screaming for more debates, more time in front of crowds, and more exposure.

Now that he's got it, you don't like it because he performs much more poorly than Mrs. Clinton in front of a live audience? That really is rather petulant of you.

All three candidates had the same amount of time to prepare. Nobody got softball questions in any greater amount than the others. And both Mrs. Clinton and Mr. O'Malley performed admirably.

Place the blame squarely on the one who deserves it: your candidate.

[NanceGreggs]

28. Well said.

There has been no aspect of this primary process that hasn't been bitterly complained about by the Bernie supporters.

There aren't enough debates, there are too many debates, the debates are scheduled on the wrong night, or at the wrong time. The wrong questions are asked, the wrong topics are covered. The wrong moderators are chosen, the wrong format is followed.

The order candidates are asked questions always favours HRC, and never Bernie. Bernie always gets the difficult questions; HRC always gets the softballs. Bernie always gets cut off when he's responding; HRC is allowed to keep speaking when her time is up. The questions are designed to make HRC look good and BS to look bad.

What the BS supporters never take into consideration is that the common denominator in all of this is their own candidate, and maybe he's the problem rather than any of the factors they keep blaming for his poor performance.

[Treant]

31. Bernie Sanders:

The Goldilocks Candidate! Except the porridge will always be either too hot or too cold (and get off his lawn).

[NanceGreggs]

32. Ha ha!

I referred to him as the "Goldilocks Candidate" in a thread here yesterday!

[72DejaVu]

30. Bernie could have declined to participate

But he didn't. He came , and he got his ass handed to him.

[Cha]

39. Yeah, it's all Hillary's Fault that Hillary Won. You got that right .. she did it all on her own.

Course berni could have better.. why didn't he?

Go ask sanders.

[Cha]

40. "Hillary got asked the toughest question of the night".. you don't see her Whining or her

supporters.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1107&pid=36601

Because our candidate can handle it all with dignity and aplomb.

She's Presidential that way.

[Cha]

38. brawahahahahaaha Let's see if you can you say #establishment One More Time!

.. LOL

You guys and your buzz words crack me up. #establishment #establishment #establishment #establishment

Come on.. keep it going.. you know you want to. Rofl. PP and HRC are so #establishment according to berni. LOL That went over real well.

[NastyRiffraff]

26. I'm not hearing to much from them they seem to be out moving the goal posts once again.
