MILFORD, N.H. — Bill Clinton’s milquetoast stump speech touting his wife’s biography and her power as a “changemaker” has transformed into a brutal litany of attacks on Bernie Sanders and the devious campaign the Clintons apparently believe he is running.
Clinton accused Sanders of hypocrisy for portraying his wife as beholden to Wall Street because of campaign donations and speaking fees she has accepted from firms like Goldman Sachs. He said he “frankly, fell out of my chair” after reading a CNN report that Sanders has been a prolific Democratic fundraiser, raising cash from the financial sector at retreats in Palm Beach and Martha’s Vineyard. “Anybody who takes money from Goldman Sachs couldn’t possibly be President,” Clinton said. “He may have to tweak that answer a little bit, or we may have to get a write-in candidate.”
Clinton didn't stop there. He launched into a discussion of the ugly “Bernie Bro” phenomenon that the Sanders campaign has denounced — backers who harass female Clinton supporters online and accuse them of “voting with their vagina” and call them “bitches.”
Clinton called them “vicious trolling and attacks that are literally too profane ... not to mention sexist.”

The latest sign came Sunday, when a new CNN/WMUR survey here showed Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont beating Clinton among women by eight points — which represents a big shift from the results last week in the Iowa caucuses, where Clinton won women by 11 points.
The survey followed unintentionally problematic comments over the weekend by Madeleine Albright and Gloria Steinem, older trailblazers who were trying to encourage younger women to support Clinton.
Steinem apologized Sunday for saying on a TV appearance Friday night that younger women were supporting Sanders because “the boys are with Bernie.” On Saturday, Albright drew criticism for saying that “there’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other,” even though she has expressed that sentiment many times before.
Bill is on the war path for Hillary. I guess the gloves are off.

I guess that is because of this:
Clinton looks to sisterhood, but votes may go to Sanders

The CNN article this quote refers to is a hit piece. It doesn't show Bernie taking one cent from the financial sector.
Meanwhile, Hillary has Gloria Steinem and Madeline Albright out there shaming female Sanders supporters, pretty much outright stating that because Hillary is female, they owe her their vote.

EDIT: sorry, didn't see this addressed in post 2.
There is just SO much wrong here. Bill Clinton is disgusting.
Yep, never mind those honesty and policy things vote for the demorat sister. Women are an oppressed majority in America.
Politics as usual.
Just because watching sausage being made doesn't mean that the end product is not delicious.
At the end of this thing...everyone will be gracious to everyone else.
