... in front of Wall St. Donors, no less. (Audio inside)

Hillary Clinton suggested in February that many of the young people who supported Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in the Democratic primary were unemployed political neophytes who still lived with their parents, according to new audio released this week.
"Some are new to politics completely. They're children of the Great Recession. And they are living in their parents' basement. They feel they got their education and the jobs that are available to them are not at all what they envisioned for themselves. And they don't see much of a future," the now-Democratic nominee said at a private fundraiser held in Maclean, Va.
Clinton's remarks came in response to a question about why younger voters tend to be so cynical about government.
I wonder why she won't release those speech transcripts?!

Audio from the February fundraiser, which was held at the Virginia home of former U.S. ambassador Beatrice Welters, was released Friday by the Washington Free Beacon.
Clinton said, "So that is a mindset that is really affecting their politics. And so if you're feeling like you're consigned to, you know, being a barista, or you know, some other job that doesn't pay a lot, and doesn't have some other ladder of opportunity attached to it, then the idea that maybe, just maybe, you could be part of a political revolution is pretty appealing."
"So I think we should all be really understanding of that and should try to do the best we can not to be, you know, a wet blanket on idealism. We want people to be idealistic. We want them to set big goals. But to take what we can achieve now and try to present them as bigger goals," she added, contrasting her campaign to the Vermont senator's.
Clinton also spoke on the broader issues of the 2016 election.
"It is important to recognize what's going on in this election. Everybody who's ever been in an election that I'm aware of is quite bewildered because there is a strain of, on the one hand, the kind of populist, nationalist, xenophobic, discriminatory kind of approach that we hear too much of from the Republican candidates," she said in reference to GOP nominee Donald Trump.

"Of course" he is bothered by Hillary Clinton's characterization of his supporters as uninformed basement dwellers, Bernie Sanders said in an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper Sunday

In this instance, when listening to the entire thing, it is pretty spot on.
Her comments are just what the people she is referencing are thinking themselves.
Not saying they are right, but it's how they see the world around them.

Today, Joe Biden:
“As I pointed out, it was embarrassing. Bernie Sanders’ net worth is more than mine,” he said, putting his head in his hands as he feigned embarrassment. “I have less money than a socialist. I don’t know what the hell happened to me.”
