If Bernie Sanders would have not ran against Hillary she would not have been forced to adapt to progressive issues or ideas brought to you by Bernie Sanders. Hillary Clinton would have been nothing more than a Presidential Candidate running on the Goldman/Sachs ticket.
Many Clinton voters voted for her because it was a vote against Trump. Instead of having Campaign advisors and managers that were professionals and the best in the business she chose loyalists to run her campaign,a huge downfall.
Republicans had their plans together to run against Hillary since probably 20008. Bill actually encouraged Hillary to primary Obama in 2012.
So very incompetent campaign managers,very bad strategies and voters that was ignored by her campaign cost her.
So Bernie Sanders is being blamed for running against her but what if say Joe Biden would have ran,or Tom Udall ran and Hillary Clinton would have still won the primary would it then have been their fault that Hillary lost.
Hillary Clinton was a flawed candidate and it was the Republican strategy and propaganda for nearly eight years that had Democratic voters believing that.
Bernie Sanders could have won the primary if the Democratic Chairman had not set up strategies as the primary moved along to make sure he didn't.DWS changed the rules as the primary progressed.
Bernie Sanders won the Iowa Caucus and the recounts would have shown that but Debbie Wasserman Schultz stopped that in its tracks.Because had the real outcome of the Caucus been allowed to proceed it could have ended her campaign since Sanders went on to win NH.
So again how much longer will Bernie be blamed
This is a must read and it is so true
