Wow. @sallykohn is classy. And Bernie supporters should follow her lead.



erica orden @eorden
Lots of booing at Sanders rally when CNN commentator @sallykohn, who is endorsing Bernie, says Hillary Clinton is an exceptionally qualified candidate.

So she wrote a piece for The Daily Beast today clarifying that yes, she prefers Sanders, but has a problem with “shockingly vitriolic” supporters of his who don’t care for Clinton as a reasonable alternative:

Listen, I can sit around and critique Clinton’s positions on key issues as much as the next leftist. But I’m also honest enough to acknowledge where our visions overlap and praise her when appropriate.

I happen to think that Senator Sanders is 100 percent realistic about his goals for our nation, but his supporters are completely delusional if they think Secretary Clinton is evil. We can think Bernie Sanders is the better candidate without thinking Hillary Clinton is bad.

Proud to endorse @BernieSanders!
I think he's best candidate. Doesn't mean I think @HillaryClinton is bad candidate

6. Nice gesture, but...,

...... as you will soon find out, the only thing that matters to Bernie supporters is that she endorses, and votes for him. Her opinion on anything else doesn't mean s*** to them. Trot her out to do Bernie's endorsement bidding, then throw her in the closet and tell her to shut the STFU! It's how they roll. If you can't say something nasty about Hillary, don't say anything at all. Should be their new slogan.

8. Never heard of her

or half of Bernie's endorsers from the Young Leftist League. But it was nice of her not to call Sec. Clinton a whore or throw dollar bills at her I guess. Good for her.

Hillary puts this away shortly anyway.

Amazingly I started out this year leaning toward Sanders. Now having watched his supporters become the lefty tea party I will be voting Clinton in NY tomorrow.

9. lol

..I read about a leftist group of supporters reportedly leading in GOTV efforts for Sanders in NY, but most members of their independent party unable to vote in in the state primary.

Poetic...

Best of luck tomorrow!
