If you voted for Hillary, donated to her campaign, knocked on doors, never voiced concern about her after March or so, then you are not to blame. If you bought the crap that Hillary was hated more than republicans, then you missed the vote that night. If you think the public would not have reviled Bernie even more than Hillary if he had gotten the nomination, you haven't been at this very long. If the right wing had let loose with the stuff they stored up for him, we wouldn't have gotten a third of the vote. Not that any of the stuff on Bernie was a reason to keep him from office, but neither as any of the crap they tossed up about Hillary. But they never heard the stuff, because he didn't have a chance of winning the nomination. The press kept it to themselves because they needed the drama of a close-fought primary race. The republicans weren't going to bring it up because they were praying that he might be the candidate, and he was aiding them by dumping on her. Hillary didn't use it because she didn't want to antagonize possible voters.
