2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Sickening: Bernie "willing to do some harm to Mrs. Clinton" to win California. [View all]
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/19/us/politics/bernie-sanderss-campaign-accuses-head-of-dnc-of-favoritism.html?_r=0While Mr. Sanders says he does not want Mr. Trump to win in November, his advisers and allies say he is willing to do some harm to Mrs. Clinton in the shorter term if it means he can capture a majority of the 475 pledged delegates at stake in California and arrive at the Philadelphia convention with maximum political power.
The only thing that matters is what happens between now and June 14, Mr. Devine said
Several described the campaigns message as having devolved into a near-obsession with perceived conspiracies on the part of Mrs. Clintons allies.
This is absolutely sickening behavior from a man who has to know that he has lost this nomination. If he was continuing to run to get his message out, few would begrudge him. But this is more evidence that he isn't a Democrat, he doesn't care about getting a Democrat elected in November, and this movement really is all about him feeding his ego.
Right now, I'm so disgusted by the way Bernie is handling things that if he does have the courage to stay a Democrat in the Senate, I hope the party does the right thing and reduces him to his proper level of seniority; the bottom rung of the Democratic ladder.

OP
This OP wasn't about BERNIE being the victim though, was it? It was about HILLARY being the victim.

I find the claim that Bernie intends to harm Clinton much more offensive and sickening.

If you're truly worried about Trump, get off the Hillary bandwagon. She can't win.

Hiliary's inability to even manage a positive favorability isn't Bernie's fault.

+1. And how could it possibly hurt her, anyway, since she is The Supreme One? More whining...
