(1,002 posts)Hillary may have been right or she may have been wrong in her comments. I do feel that she chose the wrong time to make them. We need to be looking at the 2018 midterms which are fast approaching. Post mortems of the 2016 election can sometimes be helpful, but not statements which lead to schisms within the party.
I have been a voting democrat for 45 years now. Never missed an election in all this time and ALWAYS voted dem. In the PRIMARIES, I supported Bernie. In the ELECTION I voted for HILLARY and canvassed for her, as well. Yet even I feel attacked by all this anti-Bernie polemic that never seems to end. Hillary should have held off on her anti-Bernie comments until the midterms are safely behind us. The need for a united Democratic party was never more important - we should recognize this all along the spectrum from the individual dem voter to the top of the current party leadership.
