Clinton says "nobody likes" Sanders and calls him a "career politician"

[brucejoel99]

"Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done," Clinton told the Hollywood Reporter as a part of the upcoming Hulu documentary on the former secretary of state. "He was a career politician. It's all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it."

I see no lies here.

And something tells me that if Hillary was a man, "certain folks here" would want her to "STFU" much, much less than they currently do.

That being said, I don't think Hillary appreciates how many of Bernie's supporters voted for her for the same reasons, nor does she appreciate the work Bernie did to try and garner her as much support from his base as possible. It goes without saying that he and Hillary are about as ideologically divergent as two candidates for the Democratic nomination have ever been. And he still did the work to get her elected because he saw the same conundrum I saw.

Are you kidding me? If anything, it hurt her that he didn't endorse her sooner. And indeed it did. It was insane that he stayed in the race for so long after the voting had ended & she had clearly defeated him.

If you'll recall, the Democratic convention was in July, yet Bernie waited 6 weeks (until September) to begin campaigning in stride for her, whereas, when Obama won the nomination in 2008, Hillary was out on the campaign trail for him 2-3 days later after a convention which had served as the culmination of a much more brutal primary.

So please spare us the BS about Hillary apparently not "appreciat[ing] the work Bernie did to try and garner her as much support from his base as possible."

I wonder what the reaction would be if Bernie said this about Joe Biden. Does this mean we don’t have to #VoteBlueNoMatterWho anymore?

Big difference between voting blue no matter who & being caught dead campaigning for Bernie.

Some seem to remember Bernie going out and putting in real work to get Hillary elected, but maybe that's just from some partisan hack, like...-checks notes-...Rachel Maddow?

That's irrelevant in regards to him not having done as much for her as she did for Obama, especially when her primary against Obama had been much more contentious.

Please stop trying to make it seem as if Bernie campaigned more for Hillary in 2016 than he actually did, because the facts are clear: the primary was effectively over on March 15th, Bernie kept campaigning against Hillary for at least another 3 months, & then promptly vanished for almost 2 months after the convention. It's as simple as that; he could've done much more, & didn't.

Really, Bernie could've been far more cognizant of the fact that either the U.S. was getting Hillary or the s*itstorm clusterf**k trainwreck that Jon Stewart so eloquently named F**kface von Clownstick. Unlike how Hillary went all out to help Obama & avoid McCain (who obviously would've been 100x better than Trump ever could be), he really didn't act like he wanted to go all out to avoid that.
