But she thinks three failed campaigns for dog catcher and no actual ideas are the perfect qualifications for our next president.

sounds more like a hate fest than actual policy or facts. her definition of being a Mother, means I am not a good mother, despite what my kids say.


Yet, Hillary was the one accused of using Mother's Day, for political purposes when she talked about Chelsea being a mother.

Stock prices of large insurance companies have increased by 1000% since Obama passed the ACA. That's not health care reform. #SinglePayer



Ooooooh profit is evil! Never mind that more people have healthcare under the ACA.

Mutual fund that is among the best in the health care industry. They did well over several years but nowhere close to 1000%, and have lost a lot of value in the last year (losses on individual health policies). I think we know from where Stein pulled that "fact."

person, who is part of an irrelevent party.

Let her spew all the hatred she wants, and 100 years from now Hillary will be remembered as the 45th president, and the first woman president.

What does being a Mother have to do with how one does their job?


She's never worked in a large enterprise organization where she has had to fight to ensure an employee (valued) has her exact same job when she comes back from maternity leave.

ETA - yep. I'm right. Private Practice and government. She has no idea what most American women with collegiate level degrees in commerce encounter.

Looking through the responses, it appears that someone tried to post it "in context" with other tweets to show what was meant. But most aren't buying that excuse and see it as nasty and despicable, no matter what.

As I do. Stein deserves every bit of negativity she is getting unless she apologizes and removes her remark entirely.

For those who don't know Stein, she is apparently Bernie's soul sister. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jill_Stein

She has actually accomplished good things in her life outside of politics. IMO, she is also a lot brighter than Bernie, but she is every bit as nasty towards Hillary as any of Bernie's "True Believers" are.

I didn't get to vote in the Green Party nomination process so it was a rigged election. She's illegitimate because Dems were NOT allowed to vote in the Green Party nomination process!!! We were not even informed that it was going on!! I demand to vote!!
