    You just don't get it

    This article is rubbish and illustrates perfectly how much better Obama is than Clinton and her supporters.

    The Republicans have policies that favour the rich. The Democrats have policies that favour the poor. Therefore it is the Republicans that are the elitists. End of story.

    For decades, the Republicans have been spewing this crap about "elitist" Democrats and getting working class people to vote for them on that basis. Instead of calling them out on this nonsense as Obama has done, the Hillarybots are just reinforcing the Republican myth making. It is just pathetic. With every passing day, it becomes clearer that the election of Clinton would be a tragic lost opportunity.
