Because they liked Obama too much. Hillary wanted to be Part III.

Same reason right-wing moguls went to Bush Sr instead of Bob Dole in 1988, or why Ford got the nod instead of Reagan in '76.

Bernie Sanders ran a primary campaign EONS ahead of hillary when it came to substance.
Ha.

It's a fact that Hillary ran a very vapid campaign.


Bernie's main policy proposal was a 4 page bill. Clinton had a double digit number of white papers on her website longer than that.

Ah, but Bernie mentioned that stuff more. Hillary did not. Doesn't matter whose website is better stocked, 'cuz nobody got time for that.

It doesn't matter how many words you have. Quality over quantity.  You can have a 500 page proposal, but it means nothing if it's 75% fuzzy language.

Also, I like how you imply that Sanders supporters are dumb idiots.

Quality doesn't matter if it's invisible compared to the quantity and exposure. And anyway, who seriously checks websites? Most people don't care to go that far, there are simply other things that have to be done in day and ya' know what, most people see politics as a chore.

Oh, and "like" away, it's your inference, since I implied nothing of the sort.

Too bad she didn't put them in her ads.

Exactly, glad someone gets it.
