Mrs. Clinton, You Already Beat Bernie Sanders. Trump Is the Opponent Now.

91. They endorsed her over Obama in the 2008 primary

In addition, they wrote many many favorable articles about her over the year. In fact, the first mention of her I remember was in a NYT magazine profile on Bill Clinton that was VERY supportive and spoke of how he married a fellow Yale lawyer as bright as he was. They were full of praise about her time in the Senate. They also were thrilled when she was named SoS.

I don't think they would have attacked her had she written an oped on an issue dear to her, endorsed a candidate or challenged a Trump action. I think this oped was because - even after TWO books on what happened in 2016, both times blaming Sanders among others, she opted to participate in this documentary that drops in the 2020 primary.

I saw a different oped in the LA Times that spoke of how reading this the morning after all the candidates marched together on MLK day had seemed to signal a return to unity - even as each candidate would struggle to differentiate themselves in a way that made them the nominee.
