Awkward: Sanders-Clinton joint appearance cancelled in wake of Hillary insulting Sanders supporters as basement dwellers ( Full title ).

Democrats are scrambling to paper over the rift in their party between the Clinton faction, bought off by globalist crony capitalists, and the Sanders-supporting, debt-ridden, lumpen college graduates who want free stuff. Among her wealthy peers at a fundraiser, Hillary Clinton condescended to the basement-dwelling unfortunates who have mortgaged their futures in return for a college degree providing no useful skills valued in the marketplace.

Sanders, basking in the newfound, post-campaign fame and wealth (he just bought his third house for more money than his reported net worth on Senate disclosure forms), has done an awkward shuffle. He recognizes that the Clintons have all the power in the Democratic Party, for they just kicked his butt despite obvious enthusiasm and support.

...

So rather than sort it out onstage in a joint appearance, they are hoping their friends in the media will ignore the story and it will fade from the memories.

"For a while there, we thought Bernie was actually sparking something revolutionary. But he turned out to be such a disappointment and an establishment tool."

He had his chance. He had every chance. And then he did this:

Socialists are always for redistributing the wealth of others and never their own.

Yup.

This is great news. After this leak, the last thing she needs is a cancellation of joint appearance with Sanders. She NEEDS Sanders supporters. This is a bad sign for her campaign.

I thought Bernie was fine with her calling his supporters “basement dwellers”? Didn’t he verify it?

Hillary is either sick or has concluded its futile to win over young voters.

The cancellation tells us all we need to know about the state of her campaign.

Its going nowhere anytime soon.
