Support NeoGAF

Dude, if I was a Sanders voter on the fence between Hillary and Trump I'd hope most Clinton supporters wouldn't have your attitude because it would be absolutely off-putting.

You can argue that Hillary is the better candidate while still acknowledging the strengths and weaknesses of both, or you can live in a bubble.

Sorry but after six months of trying to play nice with Bernie or Bust assholes I'm done with the pleasantries.

I voted for Bernie in the MN caucus btw. I'm just really annoyed at seeing bullshit spread around by Hillary haters. She's definitely got flaws as a candidate but "lololol she said she likes hot sauce what a pandering liar!" is a whole other level of stupid.

And I am not one, but you're only able to see this in absolutes so not surprising.

You said "if I were a Bernie supporter on the fence between Hillary and Trump" and I was responding to that hypothetical.

You seem to make a lot of assumptions don't you?

 

[Toparaman]

Okay, that Sanders Univision interview is so terrible that I'm rethinking my joke vote for him.

 

[Bel Marduk]

Dude, if I was a Sanders voter on the fence between Hillary and Trump I'd hope most Clinton supporters wouldn't have your attitude because it would be absolutely off-putting.

Just the fact that Trump has no real accomplishments, no political history, lack of policy, and flip-flopping on issues but has made it this far should tell you something about his charisma.

You can argue that Hillary is the better candidate while still acknowledging the strengths and weaknesses of both, or you can live in a bubble.

Aaron Strife is one of the nicest Hillary Clinton supporters here.

Says something about the rest...

 

[RPGCrazied]

My hate for Trump is so strong, I'd vote for her over him. Sure, Bernie seems like the better choice, but he just doesn't have the votes as she does.

 

[Aaron Strife]

Says something about the rest...

To reiterate: I voted for Sanders. I just have a low tolerance for bullshit.

 

[ApharmdX]

Taking such a nothing statement like "I always carry a bottle of hot sauce in my purse" and instantly assuming dishonesty is borderline conspiratorial. It's ridiculous. No other politician receives this level of scrutiny from so many people.

Oh but she's awkward so it's ok.

There's a difference between pandering and lying. You really don't see that, due to the venue, the hot sauce comment could have been seen as pandering? Come on, man, you're not being genuine here. On Black Twitter it was widely seen as pandering. It's not just me, or posters here.

If he's so charismatic why are his favorable ratings even lower than Clinton's?

Because he's polarizing? These aren't mutually-exclusive.

 

[Horns]

Says something about the rest...

Stop antagonizing the situation. You've been trashing Hillary on this last page then being like why are her supporters so mean.

 

[Balphon]

Stupid analogy. Ted Cruz was completely and factually (actually factually this time) mathematically eliminated long ago.

I'd be really happy if every one voting for Clinton had your confidence, though.

Trump didn't secure the delegate majority until he won Washington on Tuesday.

 

[Jeffolation]

MSNBC just reported that Trump is not going to do the debate. Shocking!

 

[googleplex]

.

Yep. The Bernie fanatics are starting to look more and more like the Gamergaters.

He never was, I want to see TYT reaction, they were going so hard on this. lol

Even donating a million dollars.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Hopefully TYT aren't dorks and don't just hold onto the million they promised for charity, but actually put it to some cause.

It was never a thing guys, just let it go.

damn those crooks why won't they just let sanders win

 

[CrunchyFrog]

It was never a thing guys, just let it go.

The dream is dead.




Holy fuck this whole campaign is just beyond ridiculous. What a circus

 

[Holmes]

Good. A Trump/Sanders debate would've undermined the actual nominee and further torn Democrats apart when they should be looking towards unification and drafting a party platform that pleases all wings of the party.

 

[Jenov]

It was never a thing guys, just let it go.

lol. Yep. A joke.

 

[eBay Huckster]

yay, now sanders can direct an attack at someone other than the DNC for the first time all campaign

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

"Crooked Hilary" is what Trump's going with?

 

[RPGCrazied]

"Crooked Hilary" is what Trump's going with?

Been that for awhile.

I like Don the Con myself. More should use it.

Donald Trump on Friday said it would be “inappropriate” to hold a debate with Bernie Sanders, throwing cold water on an idea that had captivated the political world.

"As much as I want to debate Bernie Sanders — and it would be an easy payday — I will wait to debate the first place finisher in the Democratic Party, probably Crooked Hillary Clinton, or whoever it may be," Trump said in a statement.

The presumptive GOP presidential nominee added that it "seems inappropriate" to debate the "second place finisher."

 

[pigeon]

And Hillary's not very good at joking.

Honestly. Whenever she tries to be funny (impersonating Trump) it just doesn't work out. Obama's takedowns of Trump on the other hand are hilarious.

I dunno, man, I thought it was pretty funny. Is it possible that you already dislike Hillary and so you're predisposed to find her jokes flat and her personality inauthentic?

 

[johnsmith]

It was never a thing guys, just let it go.

His statements never disappoint.

 

[Pastry]

It's simple but undeniable. He just needs to fully expose how big the FBI files thing is and how much she lies and he can win.

I can't see how that'll backfire at all, nope.

 

[RPGCrazied]

I cant wait to see Trump take the stand after the election for frauding students at his scam of a school.

The salt that week will be glorious to see.

 

[ApharmdX]

Good. A Trump/Sanders debate would've undermined the actual nominee and further torn Democrats apart when they should be looking towards unification and drafting a party platform that pleases all wings of the party.

Absolutely. This is the best outcome.

 

[SirClinksAlot]

I still can't believe Bernie bit the hook Trump threw out.

 

[Rentahamster]

He still gets media attention even if he doesn't do it, but this could still be a negotiating tactic. Now you'll see how much it's really worth to the networks to get the rights to televise this. He still has an out - "I really want to do this..BUT..."

I still can't believe Bernie bit the hook Trump threw out.

Bernie's the one who offered in the first place.

It's not happening

 

[Permanently A]

I still can't believe Bernie bit the hook Trump threw out.

Bernie challenged Trump to debate.

 

[studyguy]

I bet Jill Stein would still be willing lol.

 

[Officerrob]

The Sanders campaign played a smart hand by challenging Trumps ego. They had nothing to lose because the race is over, but make no mistake, it was pure desperation for attention in the vein of Cruz picking a VP.

 

[Rentahamster]

It's not happening

Doesn't matter. The point is, he's getting attention whether he does this or not, which plays into his overarching strategy. Trolling is a art.

 

[wildfire]

Sander's gambit failed. Kimmel is the ultimate winner.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Can't say I'm all too terribly surprised. Of course he's not doing the debate. Why would he?

 

[JoeyJungle]

Can't say I'm all too terribly surprised. Of course he's not doing the debate. Why would he?

Because he said he would

Spoiler

lol like that matters

As a joke on a nighttime talk show.

Bwahaha

He also said afterwords that he would be willing to debate if $10M went to charity, then later that he would be willing if $10-$15M went to a women's charity.

 

[sturgboski]

As a joke on a nighttime talk show.

"But he lied like Hillary. He agreed to the debate and backed out."

Clearly Bernie should pull a Clint Eastwood and debate an empty podium.

Bring back the #PantsTooHigh4Me

 

[Serpentine]

i feel like the best thing the Hillary side could do now is to use this as a way to attack Trump and paint him as a coward. may even get some Bernie supporters on board early!

it'd certainly be a step up from trying to get "wacko Donald" over

That's an awful idea. Hillary (rightfully IMO) isn't doing the last debate with Bernie, you don't then go and attack someone as a coward for doing exactly what you did.

 

[Slayven]

Hahahaha classic donald

 

[Davide]

Man, Trump's climate change talk today really makes me mad. He really is a huge danger for the world. One of the reasons I'm so interested in this election as a Canadian.

 

[ReaperXL7]

Honestly if I were ever going to vote for Trump it would end up being because of a portion of the people who support Hilliary. The condescending arrogance that comes from many of them does nothing positive for her in my view.

I don't like any of the clowns trying to run this circus though.

 

[JoeyJungle]

That's an awful idea. Hillary (rightfully IMO) isn't doing the last debate with Bernie, you don't then go and attack someone as a coward for doing exactly what you did.

I agree with you. There is the small difference that she declined it, while he publicly accepted multiple times and then backed out, but it's still a difficult sell and seems hypocritical no matter how you spin it.
