I realize that you got your numbers from TYT, since I saw a couple of videos where Cenk made that claim. Bad news...Cenk is lying to you. Maybe even himself.
Hillary did over 50 events for Obama in 2008, which is a record for the amount of support a candidate has gotten from their former primary opponent.
She gave an incredible speech on his behalf at the Denver Convention which absolutely electrified the convention and did a great job of uniting everybody behind Obama.
And when she suspended her campaign she famously told her supporters "I ask all of you to join me in working as hard for Barack Obama as you have for me."
What is so amazing about this is that the story I just described was a really big story at the time. Everyone was talking about how committed HRC was to an Obama victory and how she was doing so much to help him. It was widely discussed and not at all disputed. And now it has been added to the list of things that have been erased from the history books.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
