2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: WaPo: "Bernie Sanders just gave an amazingly condescending interview about Hillary Clinton" [View all]JI7
(89,239 posts)130. i voted for Sanders
I don't regret it although i knew he would not win the nomination.
But i think this shows why he had little support from others in congress. You can complain about them bring establishment but he didn't get support from Feingold or even kucinich.
He would have been more influential if he had done like warren.

Bernie prolly has hard feelins ova the way Hillary treated him, but he must get past that & make certain that asswipe tRump gets nowhere near the White House.

It really doesn't matter at this point... what matters is that fuckwad tRump gets his racist ass handed to him come November.

Technically, Bernie is still in the running, but practically speaking, he needs to get behind the presumptive nominee.

I agree. If Hiilary cannot win over that 8%, she has to go elsewhere to moderates. It's a shame

I second that. Btw - he still lists himself as an Independent on his FB page (Senator Sanders).
