I understand. Even at my age of 68, I don't feel like going out to some crowded event, and with the average age of a Hillary supporter being something like what? 86 or so?, it's understandable that her events are much smaller than Bernies.

To say nothing of how outrageously Jeff Bezos treats his employees. Only an ultra right wing objectivist asshole would do that and also would regard someone like Bernie becoming president as a victory for the "takers" over the "makers".
Examples of these other credible sources? Politifact also rated Bernie's claims as mostly false.

Surely you aren't suggesting that WaPo has been treating Hillary with kid gloves?

Yeah, my 86 year old mom is more likely to head out to a concert than I am. She got invited back stage after a Ziggy Marley gig in Fresno a couple years ago.

She's in the tank for Hillary, too.

No. If that were my point, I would have said so.

What a arrogant condescending, BITCH!

Whatever snowball's chance in Hell that she might have had of getting my vote, it's gone now.

I'm bookmarking the link to this video, so that I can replay it anytime I feel like I might be losing my resolve.

Oh c'mon. She was smiling when she said it.

Haven't you ever met an actual bitch? That's not it.

This one deserves the honor more so than Hillary. Besides I was appalled by the way she stumbled with the answers. This woman has no class nor dignity even for a Floridian.

Hillary sounded like any politician, deflecting & denying referring to WaPo and NYT.

It's bad, but not as bad as the actual candidate directly insulting the opponent's voters, whom she will need in November if she gets the nomination. I wonder how she thinks that's going to work out for her?
