In the audio clip below from Hillary Clinton speaking this past February behind closed doors at a Virginia fundraiser, Clinton discusses Bernie Sanders and his appeal to his young supporters. The Sanders supporters are the disappointed, the sad, the frustrated and, truth be told, the credulous. She mocks Sanders’s promised “revolution” (“I’m still trying to understand the revolution part”). She understands that the “revolution” is predicated on “a false promise,” but she won’t break it to them. To borrow a phrase, it wouldn’t be prudent.
UPDATE by JOHN: The Associated Press spins the leaked audio for Hillary:
In a leaked recording from a February fundraiser, Hillary Clinton expressed empathy for young voters who sided with her then-primary opponent, Bernie Sanders.
Actually, she expressed contempt. But those who rely on the AP for their news won’t learn that.
