Sanders Campaign Defends Iowans

[lasttrip]

NASHUA, N.H. — U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders’ campaign spokesman Michael Briggs issued the following statement Thursday after an aide to Sec. Hillary Clinton said she gave a speech to “shake some sense” into Iowans:

“This is a strange way to appeal to Iowans who already have lots of common sense. That’s why they picked Barack Obama in 2008 and that’s why we are confident they will caucus for Bernie on February 1.”

4. Been holding my breath...whew !!! Good Call.

[deathrind]

5. Good for Sanders!

That was a terribly unwise comment for HRC's aide to make.

[Wilms]

6. In a way I feel bad for Hillary. What is WRONG with her staff/advisors?

At some point something "shakes some sense into them" and they realize what easily avoidable blunders they've generated...again!

I wonder if her staff is not playing well or effectively together.

7. What's WRONG w/ HRC for hiring them to begin with!?!?

After all her experience with all of Bill's campaigns and her Senate and 2008 Presidential campaigns, she STILL CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO STAFF her campaign with competent, effective people.

Why in HELL should we elect her to the presidency with responsibility to staff the Presidential cabinet and the top levels of federal administrative agencies?!?!?

Not to mention these ineffective, incompetent, clueless staff members and advisors fully anticipate being first in line at the federal government feeding trough, amIright, Vern?,

Not to mention the loser relatives and in-laws of her major corporate donor execs!

12. Nothing's wrong with them. They accurately reflect her. (nt)

21. Hillary has two former GOP advisors

And they are programmed/trained to use Karl Rove tactics and that is her campaign problem.Then she also has Bill who loves those dirty tricks.

[cui bono]

24. They're probably repeating what she told them she was doing to them!

The HRH aide is going to come to regret that remark!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

11. Similar to tRump

talking smack about them when they were leaning toward Carson...but republicans are more forgiving of insults, even to themselves

[SoapBox]

13. Oh SNAP!

Her campaign is a train wreck...AGAIN!

[cannabis_flower]

14. WOW, just WOW!

Hillary is insulting Iowans, what a great way to get votes....

[JDPriestly]

15. K&R. I am speechless.

[Ino]

16. I'm so glad that insulting remark is being highlighted. (nt)

Don't let her slide on that stuff.

[cui bono]

17. Zing!!!

FEEL THE BERN!!!

18. Bern!

[dorkzilla]

19. Vote for me, you fucking idiots! LOL

Way to appeal to voters!

[klook]

20. But we've been told time and again

that Sanders is "tone deaf." Shoe is on the other ear lately.

[Uncle Joe]

22. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, lasttrip.

23. Earlier this evening I compared that comment to an equally demeaning one by Trump:

That line ( "shake some sense into Iowa voters&quot reminds me of when Trump snarled, "How stupid are they?," when Iowa voters had Carson ahead in the polls the first time.

Iowa voters pride themselves on being especially aware and knowledgeable voters. They really, really hate being patronized and insulted by pols who claim they don't know what they are doing.

25. This is simply unbelievable!

She will lose 5% on that statement alone. I wonder which Political genius told her to say this.

[Bernblu]

26. Madame Hillary will explain it all you hicks in Iowa!

[notadmblnd]

27. Yes, that's right. Only people of her caliber have any sense.

Those dolts from the heartland need to have sense shaken into them
