Every syllable Hillary utters is ripped apart, even at DU. There are "progressives" ...
...who want nothing more than for Hillary Clinton to STFU and never again say a word in public.
Many accomplished Democratic women are deemed "too old" by young male progressives, are told they should gracefully retire or be chucked out of office so they can be replaced by young male progressives, and the young and inexperienced are only too happy to repeat Right Wing smears that have been around before they were born.
As far as St Bernie goes -- he's been in politics a loooooong time. This was just his first foray into the glaring light of national politics. That is a whole other category than being the Senator-for-life of a very small state where everybody knows your foibles and there hasn't been a bruising contest for your seat in decades.
PS: Bernie Sanders is STILL not a Democrat; he just feels free to knock the party he doesn't belong to at every turn.
PPS: Hillary Clinton STILL won the primaries against him, and STILL won the general election despite a massive conspiracy.
