In case you haven’t heard, Jim Webb and Lincoln Chafee (still laughing at him, btw) dropped out of the Democratic race. In addition, Joe Biden made it crystal clear that he won’t be jumping in the race, which leaves the Democrats with the Hildabeast, Feel the Bern and beta male O’Malley.
Pathetic bunch, isn’t it?
Now that they’re all out of the way, Hillary’s paying a bit more attention to Bernie Sanders.
Let’s face it, he’s the only one who could possibly rob her of the nomination, and I don’t realistically see that happening, especially after his whole “The American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails!” rant during the sleep-inducing Democratic debate.
That being said, grandma’s pulling the gender card on the crusty old socialist.
You see, on Friday, Sanders told a group of supporters that politicians need to “stop shouting” over gun control. He’s been known to be a bit more “moderate” when it comes to gun control. Interestingly enough, Vermont is pretty pro-gun, which is why Sanders can’t completely #Bern that bridge. (See what I did there?)
Hillary later spoke at the Democratic National Committee’s Women’s Leadership Conference and basically suggested that Sanders’ comment was kind of sexist.
“I’ve been told to, and I quote, ‘stop shouting’ about gun violence. First of all I’m not shouting. It’s just sometimes when women talk people think we’re shouting,” Clinton said.
Cackling. I think she meant cackling.
“And second, I will not be silent, because we will not be silenced,” she added. (Really deep thought she had there, am I right?) “Not by the gun lobby, not by the size of this challenge, not by any of it. Stopping gun violence is worth fighting for.”
Except not, because she doesn’t want to do anything that would realistically stop gun violence.
But there you go. Hillary’s go-to defense: “Everyone who criticizes me is SEXIST!”

She can’t help that.
