Hillary Clinton made it known exactly what she thinks of college graduates when her Twitter account released a dumbed-down request for feedback regarding student loans.
Clinton’s camp asked its followers on Wednesday to explain how they “feel” about student loan debt using emojis – those little cartoon faces used to supplement text and impart feelings.
And we all know how much bleeding hearts love to talk about their feelings.
Only this time, the patronizing tweet was met mostly with ridicule, and rightly so.
How does your student loan debt make you feel? Tell us in 3 emojis or less.

Ugh.
.@HillaryClinton The fact that people with college loan debt communicate in emojis is the WHOLE F**KING PROBLEM https://t.co/qIZ8dYhbr8 — David Burge (@iowahawkblog) August 12, 2015
Exactly.
@iowahawkblog I majored in emojis and I can’t find a six figure job to save my life, man. @HillaryClinton

@HillaryClinton really? — Kim Sherrell (@kim) August 13, 2015
Really!
Remarkably that didn’t stop the out-of-touch Clinton campaign from doubling down on their ridiculous emoticon idea. In a tweet mocking themselves, they showcased a disparaging headline of their ill-fated attempt at relatability, along with an emoji-like “shruggy guy.”
And who can blame them really? Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Shruggy guy = All seriousness? Lord, have mercy.
@HillaryClinton is it just me or is she trying too hard? — ASK A VEGAN. (@askavegan) August 12, 2015

.@HillaryClinton you’re trying too hard to appeal to the youth it’s coming off as inauthentic Millennial campaigners got you looking FOOLISH

They want to love you Hillary, but you’re making it so hard!
@HillaryClinton You drunk?
— JPeterman (@PragueArtist) August 12, 2015
Fair question, but unfortunately she was probably sober at the time.
The fact that the Clinton account used the pathetic “clean up” tweet with a link to promote her “affordable tuition” initiative wasn’t lost in the Twitterverse either.
@HillaryClinton how can you give some, something for free, and not pay back others? sorry HC, earn your college by military service/other
— jon regas (@jonregas) August 12, 2015
It’s called robbery by taxation, and Dems are usually pretty good at it.
@patrick42h @HillaryClinton 1.2 TRILLION owed in totality? Sorry Pat, you need to pay it back. Do your “fair share” as one would put it.

@HillaryClinton Here’s an idea…GO TO A COLLEGE YOU CAN AFFORD or pay back your debt like everyone else.

@HillaryClinton If you **** the #taxpayers on this, we’ll all be broke & a college education won’t mean ****. You infantile socialist freak.
— Terry in the Hills (@UpInTheHills) August 12, 2015
@HillaryClinton Like a responsible adult that completed college & paid off my loans w/ my new career. I feel great! BTW, you’ll love prison!

@HillaryClinton @NoahCRothman \_(ツ)_/¯ What difference does it make?
