Hillary Clinton's subway struggle proved that the Metrocard swipe is an art form. It took her five very painful swipes to make it through the turnstile last week.

New York commuters felt her pain -- but that didn't stop everyone from making fun of her. 

Now, Clinton's epic fail is immortalized on her campaign's 404 page.

Though Clinton got off to a rough start, her subway ride was part of a tour of New York City ahead of the state's primary on April 19. 

Clinton is hoping to "win big" in New York's primary to become the Democratic presidential nominee and "go after Republicans full time," at a rally in Brooklyn last week.
