Clinton is still pissed at the Independent Senator from Vermont…..
And isn’t being silent about it…
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton accused Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and his supporters of not doing enough to unify the party behind her White House bid in 2016 and said that their behavior affected the general election.
“All the way up until the end, a lot of people highly identified with his campaign were urging people to vote third party, urging people not to vote,” she said in an interview on the podcast “Your Primary Playlist.” “It had an impact.”
Clinton accused Sanders’s supporters of drawing out the nominating contest by refusing to come around to her presidential campaign all the way through to the 2016 Democratic National Convention.
“So fast forward. I mean, you had, unfortunately, a very different outcome in the 2016 primary, where I won by 4 million votes. I won overwhelmingly in delegates,” said Clinton. “There was no question about who was going to be the nominee.”
“But unfortunately, you know, his campaign and his principal supporters were just very difficult and really, constantly not just attacking me, but my supporters,” she added.
Clinton also drew a sharp contrast between Sanders’s alleged lackluster efforts to back her and her efforts to support Barack Obama after his primary victory over her in 2008, saying the difference was “night and day.”
“That cannot happen again,” Clinton added. “I don’t care who the nominee is. I don’t care. As long as it’s somebody who can win, and as long as it’s somebody who understands politics is the art of addition, not subtraction.”
The comments Friday come after and expand on a recently reignited feud between Clinton and Sanders.
The former secretary of State raised eyebrows recently when she said in an interview that “nobody likes” Sanders…
Note…
Clinton’s concerns about the 2016 Sanders campaign are echoing in the background for this years campaign…

I understand Hillary Clinton held 12 functions for Obama. Sanders had 39 for Hillary.
And wouldn’t his data list with the ‘party’?
What was actions to help the female 2016 Democratic nominee Z?
James,
I’m not going to keep having the same conversations because you don’t recall history or our past conversations.
For ethical reasons, I don’t think candidates should be sharing data lists. When I give to a candidate or even get on a distribution list, don’t want that candidate to share my email or mailing information with others any more than I want businesses to share my email or mailing address with other businesses. And I find it a little disturbing that you are openly advocating that candidates should be unethical.
With regard to what did Sanders do to help Hillary, he held many well-attended rallies for her around the country while she wasn’t even campaigning that hard for herself. I can’t believe that you don’t recall them, but I’m sure you can research that for yourself if you don’t believe me.
I applaud ur position on data lists…
But it doesn’t work that way in a lot situations ..
For politics there IS SHARING….
Donate to a party and u WILL get mail from candidates ….
Go on line and order something from one place and u get ads from others in the same field …
But or lease a car and when the lease is up i’ll get offers from 20 other dealers
So Sanders NOT sharing is NOT the norm….
On Sanders helping Hillary?
I know after prodding he did some stuff
But Hillary and other Dem’s are still pissed at him…
Sanders campaigned very heavily for Hillary – again, a lot more than Hillary did for Obama. It is my recollection that he began campaigning for her shortly after the convention.
Hillary is pissed at everyone but not herself. Her reputation for holding a grudge was well documented well before she attacked Tulsi Gabbard (who previously endorsed Sanders and Sanders – who Hillary and her supporters still resent that he ran against Her in the primary.
She DID run a lousy campaign….
She HAS admitted it….
But she’s STILL angry at everyone else …
She DID put lot into it and the media loves the drama….
Believe me?
If she gets too stupid about this they WILL take her in a room and tell her to cut the shit off….
Her dissing Sanders HAS to make the moderates happy though….
Hillary attacking Sanders just makes him more appealing – at least to me. I’m finding myself rooting for Sandersto win Iowa.
k….
I wish Hillary would stop with this
And I really wish Rep. Tlaib wouldn’t lead Bernie Sanders crowd in booing Hillary.
Both just stop this!
Scott?
The hard feelings between Sanders & Co. and establishment Democrats ain’t going away….
And Hillary Clinton IS gonna keep getting applause when goes places in public …. That while she gets out her hurt in public…
U probably would also…
Wins the popular vote and loses the vote that counts….
But yea….
She’s still annoying to some people…
Trump would LOVE her in the running…
She in turn would LOVE being on the ticket that beat him…
Well at least Tlaib apologized.
Hillary will continue to be the same person she always was. She loves the attention and she is disturbed that some people just don’t think she is relevant any more
I just love how everyone mansplains Hillary.
Why should she apologize for telling the truth? Bernie will ultimately be the easiest candidate for Trump to beat.
It’s a legitimate statement, because of Bernie’s proposals and past record.
Of course there are hard feelings between the two. Doesn’t mean Hillary isn’t right.
I will vote Blue no matter who. But given the Republican crook in the White House I want the best odds possible. Bernie doesn’t give us that.
I don’t care if Hillary apologizes or not. The more she talks, the more it becomes obvious of the type of person she really is. As far as I am concerned, she can continue to enhance her reputation as a vengeful person who (like, but to a lesser degree than Trump) is mostly interested in power and money.
She just ain’t someone ya like, eh Z?
I agree with Keith on this.
Frankly I’m tired of all this attention on Hillary Clinton.She ran for President.She lost.She is not going to be on the ticket and is not going to be a factor in the coming election.
I want to concentrate on defeating Trump and Sanders does not offer the best chance of that in my view.
An amusing side note as to Bernie?This might be the only thing that Keith, CG ,and myself all agree on!Mark it down!
Keith also says Clinton DOES. have grievances ….
Well I agree with you on lots of things Jack and I know we both fear another Trump term in office.
Jack,
You can brag about agreeing with James and others all you want. The four of you also agreed four years ago that Hillary was the better candidate.
I believe that as of today, Blumberg and Sanders(two very different candidates) are the most likely to defeat Trump. And that is why I will likely vote for one or the other in the primary. That could change – but it won’t come from the hate posts I read on pdog about Sanders.
With regard to Hillary, all of my posts were in response to other posts about Hillary. But if James and Keith want to write posts to praise her or defend her, fine, then that is what we will discuss.
I might very well support Bloomberg.(can’t vote for him in S.C. primary as he is not on the ballot).
Sanders?No I won’t vote for him for the nomination.If he is the nominee I will though.
Right now?My three favorite candidates are Biden, Bloomberg and Klobuchar.Its possible ,maybe even likely , that Klobuchar won’t be a candidate by the time of the S.C. primary which means that I will vote for Biden.
I have said I wouldn’t be happy, but I COULD support Money Mike Bloomberg if Biden should falter…Yup
Oh yea…
Chuck Grassley is 86….
What is the significance of this post of what you just looked up on the internet?
Ur listed ages are all wrong…
But more important…
ALL of the leadership for this country ARE IN their 70’s and ole’ Joe ain’t the senior guy…..
So off the subject but something really to be concerned about.
A group of armed men with ski masks simply strolled into the Kentucky State Capital without being stopped. They were, of course, protesting in favor of the right to be obnoxious, intimidate others, and compensate for their little dicks.
Sticks and umbrellas are not allowed inside the Capital, but the security guards just let these assholes stroll in without a word.
Even though they wore masks it is apparent from the photos they were white. I wonder what would have happened if they were black?
I can make a good argument that the Trump era encourages this type of thing. How long before the try this in DC?
In Kentucky Keith?
I wouldn’t expect anymore….
When Trump leaves the stage?
Things are going to be interesting….
The interesting thing will be ,
Has Trump fundamentally changed the Republican Party(and possibly American politics in general) as I and maybe a few others here believe,
Or
Upon Trumps exit from the scene, will the Republican Party return to how it existed say around 2015 as CG and James seem to believe.
Therein will lay the tail.
So the operative word is interesting.
Rather bat shit crazy.
He, he ,he
Crazy ALSO FITS😉
Of course the GOP WILL change
But I believe with Trump gone from the stage it will go back SOMEWHAT to what it was and actually is….
No they won’t James.
The GOP created Trump. Their institutional racism was his candidacy birth place. Their fear of others drives the Party. Why would they change?
51 Republicans voted to allow Trump to commit an illegal act. That tells you all you need to know.
ok
i’m gonna point out that MOST of what Trump sells was already on the Republican shelf….
His thing was to be entertaining and sell it…
In the beginning as i pointed out he had vestiges of his time the Big Apple playing BOTH sides
But THAT is LONG gone….
I STILL think that when the Big guy isn’t there ?
Things will make their way back unless some other knucklehead makes as much noise as Trump
I disagree.
In my view, those people who attend his Hatefests and wear those MAGA hats are not going to be happy with the staid “conservative “ pablum served up by the Republican establishment.
To believe they are simply going to go home and be content to listen to sober lectures on “limited government “ by the Marco Rubios,Jeb Bushs and Mitt Romneys is not realistic.
These people actually Like big government as long as it conforms to their views and prejudices.
There are now lots of would beTrumps in the Republican pantheon just itching to seize control of this segment of the party.
It likely won’t be pretty .
We agree it won’t be pretty…
But the crazies where ALWAYS there….
Trump just pimps them…
My view is the Trump spell wears off somewhat….
What is it actually James besides being supportive of Trump in whatever he says or does?
(This bit of obfuscation ought to be good)
No James, it doesn’t matter whether Biden will be 78 or 79 at the time he would take office. My point is that he won’t choose Bloomberg to be VP as you foolishly suggested – who is almost as old as Biden is. Please follow the conversation and if you are still confused, then stay silent.
He, he, he
Nice sidestep Z….
Well James, if you think your comment that Bloomberg might be Biden’s VP was a rather intelligent comment, then at least you should admit that your comment that AOC might be Sanders VP was foolish. She is not even legally old enough to be president – and she won’t be old enough for another 4 years or so.
I agree with Zreebs, it won’t be years of experience that Joe will look for, it will be a coalition builder since Trump has the fat old men locked up.
A woman of color. But long way to go for Joe.
If nominated Biden will almost certainly pick a woman as VP and pretty good odds he picks a woman of color.
Yes my friend Kamala (I knew her when, before she even dated Willie).
Just got a call here at home from Devin Nines’ opponent for money. Impressive presentation.
Joni Ernst just said if elected Joe Biden will be impeached for what he did as VP on The Ukraine.
If I were an Iowa Democrat I would be highly motivated tomorrow and in November. Not only does her statement help Joe for all sorts of reasons. But it shows how people like Joni and Marsha Blackburn (over her Vineland slam) are simply muck raking liars. They just make shit up. They are guilty of obstruction.
There would NO chance of a President Biden impeachment….
Maybe noise about it from the rightwingnuts…
But NO chance…
As far as I am concerned, every Republican who voted against hearing witnesses – given everything we know – is guilty of obstruction of justice. They are openly giving Trump the green light to request foreign countries to interfere in our elections in exchange for political favors. These treasonous Republicans sold our democracy for their own personal power.
That is an incredible comment from Ernst. What a despicable piece of shit.
A very accurate description of Joni Ernst.
Hopefully this will motivate Iowans to kick her to the curb in November.
