I thought Hillary supporters were supposed to be the kind ones?
Granted, he shouldn't have said that there will always be a chance to elect a woman president (which is likely true), but still.
Both sides would have done the same thing. Nothing surprising here. Though, I would have booed as well in response to the comment that we can always elect another female president. Mainly because that's relegating why Hillary fans support her to what her genitalia is. I was fine with what was happening in the video until I got to the "socialist Jew" comment... That was uncalled for, rude, and racist.
Some Hillary stans claim that only Bernie stans can be mean. Probably because those specific Hillary stans think that if someone doesn't like a specific woman that means he/she is sexist.
In no way do I think that's what the majority of Hillary stans think though. I'm sure many do prefer her policies.
Having policy differences is one thing. calling her a stupid B**** and a S*** is different.
Not that identity politics should be a substantial argument for a candidate, but let's be real here. If Hillary doesn't win this year, we aren't getting a female President for 10-20 years. Warren's too liberal for the general electorate at the moment, Gillibrand doesn't have a strong national profile and the GOP doesn't have the backbone to nominate Haley. That's about it for viable female Presidential candidates in the foreseeable future. At best, I could see Warren as a nominee in 2024.

Although, if Hillary does win this year, a 2020 Clinton vs. Haley race would be extremely interesting.

It would also be exciting because the GOP platform would erase/just not mention social issues.
This is the year when they would have to decide what to do if they lose to a Democrat again - keep courting Tea Partiers whose votes weren't enough or court as many independents/moderates as possible.

Dumb. I'd boo him too. Acting like women somehow always have the opportunity to run for president (and make it this far in the election process) Not only is he implying something that's untrue, but he's also reducing Hillary to 'the woman candidate' by saying, "We will always have the chance to vote for a woman again." Is that the only reason he thinks she's getting votes? Will you get the chance to vote for a former first lady/senator/Sec. of State again? It's a basic rule of rhetoric; don't destroy your ethos in the first 20 seconds of your speech by saying something dumb.
Do Bernie stans really think all Hillsters use the sexist argument?
I haven't used it even once. Never even slightly mentioned it.
No one ever said all Hillary's fans.
But I definitely seen a bunch of Hillsters online and real life use the sexist argument when people would explain why they were voting for Sanders (and O'Malley while he was still in). Of course these stereotypes on both sides of the aisles are quite few and far between.
I think that for some women, namely those 40 and older, who really had to fight and act for changes toward the stances people had toward women all those years ago, can finally see the accomplishment and the reality of a potential female President. It's like a manifestation of all the work they had to endure for decades and are thus pretty passionate about it because it means that much to them. Some have gone too far, very true, in attacking young women and some men. I don't think it is thought about/talked as much now because Hillary was so close herself in 2007/8.
The only thing I'm worried about with Bernie and Hillary as president is that they will work them so hard. They'll both be closing in on 80s. (End of Bernie first term, end of Hillary's 2nd term)
Or maybe they'll actually go soft on them once in office unlike the young, viable Obama. No man should've gone through what he did.
