Who is the real carpetbagger?

[RandySF]

The candidate who moved to New York to work for the residents, or the candidate who moved to the Democratic Party to make it work for him?

1. Well this might be embarassing but by definition..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpetbagger

"Carpetbagger" was a pejorative term referring to the carpet bags (a form of cheap luggage at the time) which many of these newcomers carried. The term came to be associated with opportunism and exploitation by outsiders. The term is still used today to refer to a parachute candidate, an outsider who runs for public office in an area where he or she does not have deep community ties, or has lived only for a short time.[3]

It's Clinton.

8. You mean the candidate who moved to New York to pad her resume?

That one? The one who was so committed to New York that she bailed in her second term to run for president?

10. You really think Hillary ever had...

any strong and close ties to New York if not for political expedience?

I mean, she left Illinois as well as Arkansas, and still claims "home state" in both. So which is her real home state? The one she was born in? The one which she married into political power in, or the one she conjured her own political career in?

Hillary only represented Wall Street during her tenure as senator for NY. And a political novice in comparison to Bernie Sanders already then.

12. Definitely Clinton

But I do agree that Bernie is using the DNC to his advantage.

13. To work for the residents?

Do you really believe that shit? She moved here to further her own career. Don't ascribe idealistic or altruistic motives to her - thats just delusional.

15. What is the reason for this attack, other than to piss off Bernie supporters?

This is why she won't win. Loser supporters, with a losing, stale, candidate, who is hardly honest. Lies, lies, and more lies.

Sniper fire anyone?

[ViseGrip]

16. Ha ha...all because Bernie was BORN AND RAISED in NY. Get over it!
