Top Clinton Aide: If Sanders Doesn’t Tone Down Rhetoric, ‘F*** Him’
Mediaite ^ | 4/20/2016 | Alex Griswold

Posted on 04/20/2016 9:00:17 AM PDT by simpson96

An anonymous senior Hillary Clinton aide didn’t pull any punches in comments made to Politico’s Glenn Thrush, saying that Democratic rival Bernie Sanders got his “ass kicked” in the New York primary and that he needed to tone down his rhetoric.

In the lead up to the primary Sanders abandoned his usual cordial tone and went after Clinton, calling her “not qualified” to be president. Now that he’s lost the primary, the Clinton campaign has been making the case that Sanders should rein in his attacks, arguing that her victory makes it more likely Sanders is just harming the eventual Democratic nominee.

But somewhat ironically, the anonymous aide’s call for civility was pretty uncivil itself. “We kicked his ass tonight,” he told Thrush. “I hope this convinces Bernie to tone it down. If not, f*ck him.”

I’m not sure the media can keep this stuff quiet. Bernie’s kids have a social media “hive mind” thing going.

Good news is they won’t in bulk vote Hillary, they all hate her and many would consider Trump for reform.

If Sanders thinks he’s going to knock off Hillary he better crank the rhetoric up to 11. He’s been way too soft on her.

Bernie beat her 8 out of 9. Hardly an ass kicking. Bernie is kicking her around. And Bernie’s supporters are unemployed enough to work very hard for their man. Only the Berners can stop Hillary. The GOP won’t, Trump can’t, and the system is already rigged for her.

Sounds like the typical, crass, foul-mouthed leftist.

Make Nice Bernie, so they can offer you the VP slot, in which case, its a landslide for Hillary.
