Bill Clinton Compares Bernie Sanders Supporters to Tea Party
teleSUR ^ | February 16, 2016

Posted on 02/16/2016 9:55:04 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Sanders and his supporters have been railing against his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton's ties to the Wall Street.

Former President Bill Clinton compared presidential hopeful Senator Bernie Sanders' supporters to the tea party movement during a campaign event in South Florida for his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Although he didn't mention Sanders by name, Bill Clinton warned against "a single-issue campaign" and "rewarding people who tell us things they know they can't do."

He added that the Democratic Party is experiencing a pull to the left similar to the extreme right pull exerted on the Republican Party by the tea party.

"It's not altogether mysterious that there are a lot of people that say, well, the Republican Party rewarded the tea party. They just tell people what they want to hear, move them to the right and we'll be rewarded - except they didn't get anything done. Then, that's going on now in our party," Clinton said....

Hillary Clinton’s campaign motto is “pay to play”.

Difference is the Tea Party is made up of productive people, while the Democrats represents the parasites.

I’d call ‘em the TUMA Party.

No, that’s not TUNA, Hillary, calm yourself.

Tax Us More Already.

Well, if this is true, it might be good for America. The TEA Party was pretty successful before it got co-opted by the GOPe. Perhaps before the same thing happens on the Dem side, they will get a small wave of socialists into Congress, so that we’ll have a daily highlight reel of stupidity that hurts the general electability of the Dems!

Poor Bill. So much to say and so little of it meaningful anymore.

Was Bill pointing that crooked index finger when he said that? Because that means he’s lieing.

The Republican party rewarded the TEA Party? When?

The GOP establishment declared war on the TEA Party.

Slick Willie must be kidding.

They took the Microsoft Approach: Embrace, Extend, Exterminate.

How much pandering did the Clintons do to Netroots and Occupy?

The Clinton’s, and the Democrat’s own chickens are coming home to roost here.

Maybe the soy latte party?

Bern-outs are white ultra-liberals. My cousin is one, reading his Facebook posts are a damn laugh.

Of course he’s a teacher in upstate New York making peanuts while his ultra-conservative cousin(me) in a great twist of irony is making great money in Communist Controlled Canada in the private sector...

The world is a very funny place :)

With Slick Willie’s frail appearance I try to feel sorry for him but I just can’t. With Obama in charge I will admit it makes Clinton look like the “good ol’ days.”

Bernie Sanders is the original Pajama Boy.

He got his first job when he was in his 40s.

Bum.

Some might stay home and then again if Trump isn’t the nominee and Cruz is what will the Trump supporters do?

Personally I think Trumps an idiot but if nominated, he get’s my vote because an idiot is better than anything on the left.
