Clinton Slams Democratic Activists At Private Fundraiser

Clinton finally tells the truth. She doesn’t give a dam about the Democratic Party’s chances in the fall election she just wants the Democratic Nomination.

And that means; to hell with building the party with new young very excited voters and to hell with the future of the Democratic Party.

At least now we can be sure of just where her party loyalty lies.

From the Huffington Post:

“At a small closed-door fundraiser after Super Tuesday, Sen. Hillary Clinton blamed what she called the "activist base" of the Democratic Party -- and MoveOn.org in particular -- for many of her electoral defeats, saying activists had "flooded" state caucuses and "intimidated" her supporters, according to an audio recording of the event obtained by The Huffington Post…
Clinton's remarks depart radically from the traditional position of presidential candidates, who in the past have celebrated high levels of turnout by party activists and partisans as a harbinger for their own party's success -- regardless of who is the eventual nominee -- in the general election showdown.
The comments also contradict Clinton's previous statements praising this year's elevated Democratic turnout in primaries and caucuses, and appear to blame her caucus defeats on newly energized grassroots voter groups that she has lauded in the past as "lively participants" in American democracy.”
