He did not take actions to confront the Bernie Bros

He. (and his wife) did take actions to improperly use funds to assist his step kids.

He did not give a credible explanation on how he was going to raise revenues to pay for his social plans

He did not face real scrutiny over his campaign, his polices or lack of transparency because the media knows that in 2016, just like now he has a zero chance of winning.

He did see his personal income increase by 500% after he was a Presidential candidate in the Democratic Party.
