The New York Times just ran a story about Obama quietly urging Democrat donors to get behind Hillary Clinton for the general election. Naturally, Bernie Sanders supporters didn’t like it.
Be sure to read this post to the bottom.
First, here’s an excerpt from the article:
Obama Privately Tells Donors That Time Is Coming to Unite Behind Hillary Clinton
In unusually candid remarks, President Obama privately told a group of Democratic donors last Friday that Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont was nearing the point at which his campaign against Hillary Clinton would end, and that the party must soon come together to back her.
Mr. Obama acknowledged that Mrs. Clinton was perceived to have weaknesses as a candidate, and that some Democrats did not view her as authentic.
But he played down the importance of authenticity, noting that President George W. Bush — whose record he ran aggressively against in 2008 — was once praised for his authenticity.
Mr. Obama made the remarks after reporters had left a fund-raising event in Austin, Tex., for the Democratic National Committee. The comments were described by three people in the room for the event, all of whom were granted anonymity to describe a candid moment with the president. The comments were later confirmed by a White House official.
The best part of the article was the comment section. If you want to truly understand how Bernie Sanders supporters think, just take a look at this real comment:
If you can’t read it, it says:
The great thing about Bernie is that everything will not only be free, it will be a right.
We don’t need to worry about working, much less paying debts; let the rich pay for it all.
That sums it up in a nutshell.
That’s what we’re up against.
