Hillary Clinton
In reply to the discussion: Moment of Truth: The Decision that Derailed Bernie’s Campaign [View all]Gamecock Lefty
(700 posts)28. I'll go one step further . . .
One thing that got me most was Bernie switching his political affiliation to Dem so he could run for President. I get that hes liberal and that he caucuses with Dems most of the time, but he changed to something that he has always said he abhorred in the past (becoming part of the two-party system in America). And he did it just so he could get elected (like Trump did for the Repubs although I in NO WAY associate Sanders in any way with the likes of Trump).
Hillary, my proud choice for President, is one of us!

I agree. The tide turned when he began going after Hillary Clinton (maybe a warning to Trump?)

Yes, he broke his word not to campaign negatively, indicating he was the untrustworthy one, not she.

Someone said early on here that he didn't want to alienate his existing base of support
