Sanders admits being bothered by Clinton's depiction of young voters
2016-10-03
[FOXNEWS] Bernie Sanders
...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords...
on Sunday acknowledged being bothered by Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as For a good time at 3 a.m. call Hillary and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Dean Acheson ...
’s unflattering perception of the young Americans who backed his longshot primary bid against Clinton, saying their campaigns still have "real differences," despite their joint effort to defeat Donald Trump.

"Of course it does," Sanders, a Vermont senator, told CNN’s "State of the Union," in response to a question about whether Clinton’s remarks at a fundraiser amid their hotly contested Democratic primary bothered him. "We have real differences."

Clinton characterized the young voters -- impassioned by Sanders' populist message and who still have yet to embrace Clinton -- as "living in their parents’ basement" and disenfranchised about the future, according to a 49-minute audiotape of the February fundraiser, purportedly found in a hacked email, then given to The Washington Free Beacon, which first reported the story.

"If you’re feeling like you’re consigned to being a barista . . . then the idea that maybe, just maybe, you could be part of a political revolution is pretty appealing," Clinton also says in the audio tape, describing her thoughts after talking to a young African-American voter.

Clinton, like her Republican rival Trump, will need the youth vote to win the presidency.

#9  Bernie should change his first name to 'Belt,' that way he can really represent being a tool that Hillary used.
At least with HRC we know the snake we are up against, Bernie has more sides than a diamond.

#5  They live in their parents basement because they gave all of their money and time to the Sanders campaign (which was kneecapped by the Democrats).

They are idealistic and naive. Perfect Democrats given time.
