Hillary Clinton added to her list of accomplishments this morning by braving two stops on a NYC subway in the Bronx:

Despite the chaos, Clinton seemed to enjoy the subway ride. She said she last rode a year and a half or two yrs ago. pic.twitter.com/fro7ublPAP

There were people speculating that this was Clinton’s first subway ride, but voters were reminded that Hillary’s experience goes back decades:

Some were also having fun with the fact that it took Clinton several card swipes to get through the turnstile, but she got some help explaining that as well:

Yes, it took Hillary Clinton three or four swipes to get through the turnstile. Also, it takes everyone three or four swipes.

@danmericaCNN took me like a dozen swipes yesterday morning

The media pointing out the brilliance of the Clinton campaign will go on long after Hillary’s $600 hairdo has recovered from her subway ride with the commoners:
Hillary Clinton’s subway ride could be carried live on cable TV because it was above ground. That’s a campaign that knows what it’s doing.

The real story of Clinton’s subway experience is, as you might expect, much different than what’s being reported:
