Sanders brushes off Clinton criticism: 'Look forward and not backward'

166. I think you misunderstood. She doesn't blame Sanders for losing, and Dems...

it seems to me, don't blame Sanders, either. At least not directly.

It is a fact, though, that some Sanders supporters did indeed decide to support and vote for Trump. Susan Sarandon was one. There were others.

That's just a fact. That's not blaming Sanders for Trump.

Hillary's book goes through the whole campaign and points out different aspects of it. None of it is to blame any one thing. She's speaking of her experience, and laying out facts and her feelings and thoughts about everything.

She speaks, for instance, of Trump hanging behind her in the debate, making faces, and how she felt about it. That had nothing to do with her loss. She speaks of Sanders personally attacking her and how she felt about it. (Note: it is unusual for one opponent in the same party to personally attack the other; although it does happen - that is what Trump did.) She didn't say that's why she lost, as I understand it.

Sanders supporters are being overly sensitive about anything anyone says about him, IMO. Maybe they feel guilty? Or want to be sure they don't get blamed for Trump?

I am convinced it was Russia who gave the win to Trump. Not Sanders or anyone or anything else. However, it was close enough that a few Democrats breaking rank and voting for Trump may well have made the difference. Still, the end game came down to Russia and corruption.
