POLITICSClinton’s Campaign Just Got Busted Impersonating Union Nurses in Nevada

[LiberalArkie]

Hillary Clinton’s campaign is attempting to trick Bernie Sanders supporters in Nevada into voting for Clinton by disguising themselves as nurses affiliated with the National Nurses United union (NNU), which has thrown its support behind Sanders.

NNU executive director RoseAnn DeMoro caught Clinton staffers red-handed changing from blue Hillary Clinton campaign shirts into red shirts of the same shade as the red shirts NNU members are wearing, in an apparent attempt to confuse voters:

The shirts Hillary’s campaign workers are wearing are nearly identical to the shirts NNU nurses wear on the campaign trail with Bernie:

Snip

What makes this so reprehensible is that many voters will not be able to discern truth from fiction. They will conclude the “poll” feeling they were important enough to receive a phone call mistakenly believing they were asked fair questions and then were left with lingering doubts about the viability of Bernie Sanders as a presidential candidate.

1. 'The t-shirt dupe was reported just after precincts opened for today’s Nevada caucus,

which may very well shape the entire trajectory of the remaining Democratic primaries and caucuses. The stakes for Bernie Sanders couldn’t be higher, as a win in a state like Nevada, with prominent Latino/Hispanic representation, would prove his viability with voters of color. . .

Bernie Sanders supporters on Reddit are documenting any and all instances of fraudulent behavior and dirty tricks in Nevada, and are encouraging caucus-goers to document and report any suspicious behavior in this thread.'

2. And if she "wins" the Dem nom

This will be playing on reddit and every other social media site and she will LOSE the general.

I am almost sure I will vote for Jill if there is no Bernie on my ballot in November.

But not enough.

8. Bernie did have the crew with the Latino voters, I think MSNBC said 75% for Bernie.

But if they were union, they probably went with Hillary as there were union reps everywhere watching to see who went for who.

4. I think campaigning is a little different than getting voters to not vote. Just a tiny bit I think.

5. This makes it ok, right?

7. Of course not

But Bernie supporters sometimes pretend that their candidate and there movement are holler then thou but it is not the case.

9. Thanks.

Unfortunately there's too much 'holier than thou' stuff going around, on both sides. Imagine if we were repugs, 'holier than all of them!!!'

6. Stupid fucking red-shirts did not influence the outcome

Jesus.
