Why is she always snippy? If they really were Bernie supporters why couldn't she just say [View all]

We welcome you, please sit down & join us and listen to what my plans are if I win the Presidency?

But no - she had to scold them.
Told them to leave.
She had to say I have more votes, so nannynanny poopoo
I I I I I have experience.
You never listen.

Was this really any different than how she handled the BLM activist that paid to go to her fundraiser?
Or the woman that asked her a question at a coffee shop?

Nope it wasn't. Every time Hillary is confronted with an opposing viewpoint, instead of welcoming them she turns on the snark.

One of the things I loved about Candidate Obama in 2008 is when he was confronted with a protester or an opposing viewpoint, he always listened and let them talk. He would then answer their concerns....even when that question came from Joe Plumber.

I don't know if they were Bernie supporters (it's just hearsay) or if they were Trump supporters. It doesn't matter. Being condescending to people does not earn you votes.

So... you don't know, either? Got it. Odd that you would 'answer', then...or, perhaps not. AzDar Mar 2016 #92

My first thought was that they were environmental activists riderinthestorm Mar 2016 #91

Immediate scolding of "Bernie people" marions ghost Mar 2016 #12

Thanks for posting. SamKnause Mar 2016 #38

What was she supposed to do? Concede the race right there? KingFlorez Mar 2016 #34

You seem perilously close to lecturing her about tone Prism Mar 2016 #35

Sexist? Asking why she didn't invite them to stay rather than scolding them is sexist? What does jillan Mar 2016 #47

I should use a sarcasm tag sometimes =) Prism Mar 2016 #49

that poster likes to scold Hillary Clinton for smiling too much. geek tragedy Mar 2016 #51

This nation is out of control and needs healing, not more division! HRC is alienating an awful lot RKP5637 Mar 2016 #39
