So I guess Clinton and the DNC contributed nothing to this loss.

118. It's Why I Stopped Listening

Friday ritual - Take a bath, listen to Brunch w/ Bernie. Then the non-stop trashing of our president started - caller after caller Bernard took the time to take nasty shots at Obama. Never republicans, just our president and the party.

Here's this gem - took him two months to campaign for Hillary, just two days to work with Trump.

Let me just suggest this. I think that there are millions of Americans who are deeply disappointed in the president, who believe that with regard to Social Security and a number of other issues, he has said one thing as a candidate and is doing something very much else, who cannot believe how weak he has been — for whatever reason — in negotiating with Republicans, and there’s deep disappointment.


Notice "throughout 2011"

In May 2012, Sanders’s support for the idea of a progressive primary against Obama, which was prevalent in national interviews with Sanders throughout 2011. In November 2011, Politico reported “liberals like Sen. Bernie Sanders are declining to give their unqualified support for the president.”

But Sanders did use talk of a progressive primary of Obama to send sharp criticisms his way in 2011. And at least once he said, “I am now giving thought to doing it.” (finally he admitted that mystery "progressive" he wanted to primary Obama was him)

"I think one of the reasons that the president has been able to move so far to the right is that there is no primary opposition to him, and I think it would do this country a good deal of service if people started thinking about candidates out there to begin contrasting what is a progressive agenda as opposed to what Obama is doing,” Sanders said on radio host Thom Hartman's show in 2011.

From The Nation and the word "continues"

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders CONTINUES to argue that a Democratic primary challenge to President Obama would be “good for democracy and for the Democratic Party.”

“I do a radio show every week. Over a million people hear it in almost every state in the country. Those are working-class people, progressive people. There is a lot of disillusionment. They want the president to stand up for the middle class, for the working class of this country, and they want him to take on big money interests in a way that he has not done up to this point.”

If it wasn't one thing it was another - trashing Democrats never Republicans - took him 2 months to go on the road for Hillary and 2 days to cozy up to Trump.
