There was no "kiss and make up" meeting between Hillary and Bernie. Had they done that, it would have made all the difference. Remember when Barack Obama won the primaries in 2008? Hillary was a good Democrat, and she went to Obama with her hat in her hand. They kissed and made up, Hillary was promised Secretary of State, and she campaigned to help Obama win.

When did that happen in 2016? Never. Bernie did nothing to help Hillary, and Hillary (or her campaign people) said "Well that's OK, we don't need their votes."

So many mistakes!
