Bernie KNEW from the start that this was a bad bill as did so many of the rest of us with so many of the facts that were leaked to us from a process that was DESIGNED to keep the facts from the people to avoid the backlash that legislation working against its interests would have on promoting opposition to it. He and others that were principled stood against it the way those that really are concerned about how this process worked against the 99% of us right from the start.
Hillary was not as concerned about what it did against the interests of the 99% as opposed to how much of it would become a beacon of support against her if it became more public she supported something that would work against the 99%'s interests. She was worried about losing support in the election. This bill's screwing most of us? She didn't care about that so much, and her stances have shown that.
