(59,498 posts)However - as you are likely reacting out of the 2016 primaries, were either Clinton out there? In 2014, the Clintons and people allied with them argued that they, unlike Obama, could help in these Southern races including Nunn in Georgia. However, it is not clear they helped her. This is NOT a criticism of HRC and Bill Clinton - any more than of Obama, Biden or Sanders -- none of whom went to Georgia. My guess is that if the candidate thought they could have helped, he would have asked and I bet - if the timing worked - any of them was pretty likely to have gone.
PS Sanders campaigned where the Clinton team sent him in 2016, did they send him to Georgia, which at one time they thought in play.
I do know that some protest groups that were allied to Sanders were involved in raising money for him. The DCCC thought the race hopeless. It was activists on the left who raised the large amount of money he got.
