Hillary Clinton has "like-ability" and "trustworthiness" issues. So why in the world do

Bernie Sanders supporters get blamed for her character flaws!?!

She has had crazy backing in terms of having the entire machinery of the Democratic Party at her beck and call. She has a huge war chest, and yet people still refuse to like her or vote for her.

So who gets blamed for that? Why, of course, we Bernie Sanders supporters get blamed for Clintons's
un-likeability, her dishonesty, her selling out of the middle class.

You would think that we Bernie Sanders supporters had twisted her arms and made her sell out to Big Corporate America, just as her husband did while President and is doing now.

I for one refuse to take the blame. I am not responsible for her email server issues. I am not responsible for her decision to destroy by endless warfare so many countries in the Middle East. I am not responsible for her husband getting that three million bucks for five years from the Laureate Educational Institute, with some people saying that the State Department helped financially prop up that entity while Bill got the money from it.

Nor am I not responsible for her having looked the other way while the Clinton Foundation took in money as "charity donations" from the many Big Energy interests who wanted those "donations" not only as tax write-offs, but also as a way to curry favor from the State department. (Ever wonder why under Hillary there was so much pressure to get the Xl Pipeline done? Look no further than those Big Energy charity contributions!)

I knew there had to be a real reason she was running.

Her running can't be about any of the issues on her platform as she stole those from Bernie!

The DNC loyalists don't see any problems with the FBI investigating her email server issues and her allegedly divulging classified material. But it is definitely reminiscent of Republican loyalists not thinking the Watergate inquiries were meaningful.

Shaun King of "Daily News"

Hillary Clinton cannot and will not win the Democratic nomination before the Democratic Convention this July.

....

When she and Bernie Sanders get to the convention, the only possible way she can cross the necessary threshold of 2,383 delegates is for the party elite, also known as superdelegates, to put her there. There are a total of 4,766 Democratic delegates available — 4,051 of them are pledged, 715 are superdelegates. The winning candidate needs 2,383 votes to win. Until then, we don't have a nominee. Period.

Has forced people to dislike Ms Clinton, who until his arrival on the political scene had been everyone's favorite feminist in politics.

Yeah, right!
