2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Clinton Camp says She's Been Forced to the Left Enough Already [View all]djean111
(14,255 posts)20. The DNC only wanted Bernie to run in order to give a little liberal pretend liberal faux finish
to Hillary's not liberal or Progressive at all campaign. Looks like she cannot even pretend to have budged from the right. It seems to offend her that all Democrats do not bow down.
Bernie was supposed to fade away quite a while ago, hand over his supporters and money and grassroots organization to Hillary, and then campaign for her or else quietly go back to Congress. Didn't happen, is not going to happen, and peevishness is morphing into anger, IMO. Obama was spot on with that trudging up the hill with Hillary thing. She was already supposed to be at the top. Now there are huge swaths of voters who just will not vote for her.

I think the Wall Street speeches are hidden because she pandered to Wall Street.

I doubt that the DNC wanted Bernie to run or that Bernie would followed their marching orders
