Clinton cancels joint events with Sanders (After "Basement Dwellers" leak)
The Washington Examiner ^ | October 2, 2016 | Jeremy Lott

The Hillary Clinton campaign has canceled joint appearances with former primary opponent Bernie Sanders after he admitted that "of course" it bothered him that Clinton seemed to be talking down to his supporters in hacked audio from a fundraiser.

The two were set to have joint appearance together Monday. Instead, Sanders will appear in both Iowa and Wisconsin on Monday to boost her candidacy without her.

Clinton is now scheduled to swing through Iowa later in the week, but possibly without Sanders, who was asked on CNN's "State of the Union" if it bothered him that Clinton had referred to his younger supporters as "the children of the great recession" who "live in their parents' basement" to Democratic Party donors.

"Well look, of course it does," said Sanders, but he went on to rationalize it by saying "So we have differences. There's nothing to be surprised about. That's what a campaign is all about."

It was a show of solidarity by Sanders after GOP nominee Donald Trump had made a play for his voters the night before, at a rally in Pennsylvania. Trump interpreted Clinton's remarks to mean that she saw Sanders supporters as "ignorant basement-dwellers," among other things.

The plan had been to show off that progressive solidarity on the campaign trail but now that will have to wait for another day.

A Presidential candidate so unpopular they have to hide her from the voters.

Did he say this from the comfort of his lakefront dacha he bought with the money he took from Hillary to drop out of the race?

Her numbers go up when people don’t see or hear her.

Funny how many “Republicans” could take a lesson in class from Bernie.

Wait a minute. If these basement dwellers are children of The Great Recession, that would men they are in their early twenties, would it not?

Who was President 20 to 25 years ago?

Wait a minute. Even if they were children of The Great Recession, they would not have been of working age at that time.

They are now. So who has been President since they became of working age?

Our daughter socializes with a lot of people in the 21-35 age range. Many of them were disappointed when Bernie didn't win the nomination. Those individuals became even more disenchanted when it was determined Hillary had the DNC in her back pocket and they were never going to let Bernie win. But most were still going to vote DEM because, well, the media says Trump is evil.

Fast forward to last night and this morning, and our daughter indicates a lot of her friends are going to just not vote at all this November. They can't get past the negative reports about Trump, but they can fully wrap their arms around the evil that is Hillary.

Very much anecdotal, but it would appear Hillary's problem with the young voters just got a lot worse. She in no way is going to be able to inspire these voters like Obama was, and even Obama's help is going to have very little impact. There would appear to be a lot of young voters who found out they are mere pawns for the political elite, and their causes mean spit to these politicians.

Trump needs to tell the Basement Dwellers that he will bring them up into the light and give them jobs.

If you have to campaign to motivate your base, you are finished.

Der Hildebeast’s coughing problem has returned. She is probably holed up in her bedroom fitted with a hospital bed, coughing up her aspirated saliva like a barking walrus. I can imagine the scene of her desperate inner campaign team. If she coughs too much her voice may be unable to speak because it is blown out from too much coughing. The best she will be able to do is bark like a walrus.

That last 3 days have been brutal for her. Just in time as well, as Trump was on the ropes.
