Another epic failure for the Hillary Campaign:
New Yorkers now mocking her “swipe issues.”
Hillary Clinton turned into a straphanger Thursday morning — struggling to get a MetroCard to work after she took a dig at rival Bernie Sanders for not knowing how the subway works.
“I’m proud to be a New Yorker. We don’t use a token on the subway,” she announced, mocking Sanders’ comments about needing a token to ride the rails….
But her MetroCard wasn’t kind to the Democratic front-runner, who needed five swipes to get past the turnstile at Yankee Stadium….
Reactions on social media were somewhat less enthusiastic.
“Hillary Clinton can’t get her MetroCard to work on NYC subway. I’m serious. OMG this is my life every day,” tweeted Micah Grimes.
Russel Horvath was apparently not impressed by her foray into mass transit.
“Unfortunately, she’ll take it directly to Goldman Sachs,” he wrote, sarcastically.
“Does Hillary even know what the subway is,” Rachelle tweeted.
Another user brought up a famous political race PR gaffe.
“You have to be kidding me Hillary Clinton is riding on the subway. Dukakis rides a tank,” tweeted Robert Weldon, referring to the infamous, widely mocked photo of Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis riding an M1 Abrams tank in 1988….

Yeah, and Kasich is the son of a mailman. The more these stupid elite try to convince us that they’re just good old boys, the more pathetic they look. I remember the time when Obama, trying to show he was a regular guy, went to Denny’s to claim his free birthday meal. But that outing went bad when Denny’s turned him down because he couldn’t produce a valid birth certificate.
The irony is that so many regular people really do feel a connection to Trump, who puts his billion$ on flamboyant parade. In part that’s because, in his weird way, Trump comes across as more honest than the rest of the pack.
Agree Maynard re Trump. But the question is, *why* does Trump come off as more genuine, and more “like us” when he’s as much not like us as all the rest?
The Hilde-beast should try riding the subways for an hour, WITHOUT her secret service protection. Anyone recall the video ‘mimic’ where giant mutated bugs infested the subways? That’s what the beast is trying to do, mimic normal people.
