Hillary Clinton Struggles with iPhone Auto-correct.
Hillary Clinton is just like us. She, too, struggles with iPhone auto-correct.
“Their spell-check takes the word I’m trying to type and totally throws it out and puts something else in that has absolutely no meaning,” she complained to Jimmy Fallon on Thursday’s episode of The Tonight Show.
Oh we know, Hillary, we know.
While the Democratic presidential candidate admitted she wasn’t the best at typing on an iPhone, she does have an affinity for Snapchat. Clinton and Fallon snapped a few selfies after talking smack about the never-ending Republican debates. Fallon even taught Clinton a new Snapchat trick: bug eyes.
Always a great time with @jimmyfallon. Thanks for snapping with us! (: HillaryClinton) pic.twitter.com/uAAUnvECQ7

While she’s a fan of Snapchat, she hates the Republican debates. She admitted to recording and fast-forwarding them, rather than watching them live, including Thursday night’s installment on Fox Business Network. But if she really wanted to enjoy them, Fallon suggested she get creative.
“You should have a drinking game. Every time they say your name, you take a shot,” Fallon opined. “I don’t think I’d make it past the first half hour,” Clinton quipped back.
Lately though, Clinton hasn’t just been getting heat from the candidates on the other side. She’s also been feeling the Bern.
Earlier this week, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was on The Tonight Show and criticized Clinton’s neck-and-neck polling in Iowa with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. For a while, Clinton seemed content to ignore Sanders’ growing popularity, but it’s gotten to the point where she can’t anymore. Her campaign is in attack mode.
Despite pulling out her boxing gloves on the campaign trail, Clinton played it cool when Fallon brought up the recent polling, justifying the narrowing numbers with timing. As elections get closer, poll numbers tighten, she said, and that’s when it gets “exciting.” While she admitted that Ben & Jerry’s backing Sanders was a “delicious endorsement,” she had her own supporters to be proud of, she said, including Planned Parenthood and the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.
This isn’t the first time Clinton goofed around with Fallon while campaigning. Back in September, the two joked about Trump and neurosurgeon-turned-presidential candidate Ben Carson; at one point Clinton even let Fallon pull her hair, a dig at Trump’s wig-like locks.
Clinton, Sanders and Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley will face off at another Democratic debate on Sunday at 9 p.m. ET on NBC.
