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.”
Feel the burn, Bern.
It drives me crazy when the MSM describes Trump as an uncivilized thug...when the Dems are far, far better and have much more experience at these things.
I notice these Establishment types always seem to resort to ‘tone it down’ when the going gets rough.
But at lease Priebus didn’t hide behind some ‘anonymous’ title like this (supposedly) senior Hillary Clinton aide.
I guess when they’re selling the American people down the river, they like to do it quietly.
Isn't it horrible that we have all this crude rhetoric in politics? Its the politics of personal destruction all over again! And the violent language may incite someone to try to hurt Bernie!!!
Oh, wait, its a Democrat who made the crude, violent statement. Never mind.
Keeping it real....it’s good that NY had a primary where folks who weren’t members of the party couldn’t just walk in and vote in either primary. But what happened? Sanders surged with independents and younger voters late in the race. It was too late for them to sign up.
Keep it up Burned Out Bernie...! Hillary is feeling the Burn!
I love seeing Bern and Hill go at it! We should encourage more of this!
what the hag camp is calling rhetoric, the rest of us know it as the truth
By the way, that also goes for saying anything bad about the heir-apparent. So everybody had better be nice to Chelsea too.
“Sanders abandoned his usual cordial tone and went after Clinton, calling her “not qualified” to be president.”
He’s right, but he’s not either!
Excellent. Antagonize and alienate Bernie’s followers just as much as possible.
Whatever happened to “tolerance” and “empathy” for those who disagree with us?
Even as that tormented land slides into Third World status, Herself has neither the gumption nor the endurance to exploit the cash flow and resources as that once great nation is cannibalized and balkanized, and may end up suffering a fate worse than the Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu and his spouse Elena Ceaușescu.

Unfortunately, the media will not report on any of this. So few of Bernie's followers will even know about it.
The fix has been in on this joke of a Democrat primary from the beginning.
The amazing thing is just how weak Hillary is despite it.
So Hillary IS considering Sanders for VP. Great. We’ll be trying to go to war against that with Trump/Kasich. Great.
Keep it up, Bernie!
We want Hillary to steal the nomination from Bernie in such a manor that his supporters will never vote for her and may vote for Trump.
Must be talking about HUMA! BTW, has anyone ever seen THIS?:
