Mo Dowd: Hillary Battles Bernie Sanders, Chick Magnet

HILLARY CLINTON first grabbed the national spotlight 47 years ago as an idealistic young feminist, chiding the paternalistic establishment in her Wellesley commencement speech.

So it’s passing strange to watch her here, getting rebuffed by young women who believe that she lacks idealism, that she overplays her feminist hand and that she is the paternalistic establishment.

Bernie Sanders may be a dead ringer for Larry David, but Hillary is running the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” campaign. She can’t fire up young voters by dwelling on what can’t be done in Washington and by explaining that she’s more prose than poetry.

[Tax-chick]

Ah, it’s that beautiful young lady and her grandfather!

[fhayek]

So....if Sanders does win the nomination, and the Democrat party backs him, will this not, once and for all, confirm that Democrats are, in fact, socialists?

What woman could resist a honeymoon in 80’s era Soviet Union?

Bernie Sanders has a long way to go to be a ‘chick magnet’ at age 74. However, HRC has a long ways to go to do a good imitation of a woman.

Really, who in their right mind would be attracted to HRC? Hillary is a shrill, arrogant Harpie. I wish some vet would put her down like the rabid beast she is. Bernie needs to retire to Cuba, where he can be with his loyal comrades.

[DoughtyOne]

Well, I may not give Bernie a second look, but evidently I better start giving his supporters a second look.

LOL

Maybe she’s being rebuffed by young women because they’re sickened by a disgusting, corrupt, lying criminal.

[henkster]

And that is what I expected to see, and the only reason I came to this thread. Thank you.

Cheney is a doll, yes, but personally I like Rumsfeld.

[Tax-chick]

Rummy is in his 80s now and has grown rather bent. I saw him on TV recently: he has produced an “app” to play a kind of solitaire favored by Winston Churchill.

I wish some vet would put her down like the rabid beast she is

Veterinarian, right? Not veteran?

Right?

[KarlInOhio]

Is that Huma?

[tumblindice]

You eyeballin' my wife? (Heh, I think she was single then henkster. De nada ...)

[American Quilter]

Maureen PanDowdy (hat tip to Ann Coulter) has had an undeservedly long career. I see she’s still unable to recognize the role the government played in the economic meltdown.

[Bobalu]

Good grief!
Douglass looks a bit like Caitlin on the right :-(

[MasterGunner01]

Anyone, probably one of Bernie Sanders loyal followers.

[fhayek]

Everything in its place. Bernie in Cuba. Hillary in Hell. Can’t argue with that.

[Luircin]

I am never going to complain about seeing the lovely lady here... or at least probably never.

I just don’t get why it’s a rule.

[MasterGunner01]

Works for me. LOL

[lentulusgracchus]

Can anybody help me out?

Looks like they did. Nice pic of Mrs. Douglas.
