The 2016 Democratic presidential nominee said in a podcast interview that aired Friday that Sanders didn't try to unify the party after losing the primary to her four years ago and that he and his supporters contributed to her loss to Donald Trump in the general election.

Asked by Emily Tisch Sussman of the podcast “Your Primary Playlist" what Sanders could do this time to unite the party against Trump, Clinton replied, “Well, he can do it, for one.”
“That's not our experience from 2016,” Clinton said.
Clinton's comments come just days before the first-in-the-nation caucuses in Iowa, where Sanders is bunched at the top of the polls with former Vice President Joe Biden, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg. The remarks are yet another reminder of the lasting scars of the the brutal 2016 primary battle between Sanders, whose supporters believe the contest was rigged in Clinton's favor, and Clinton, who has begrudged Sanders for not supporting her candidacy quickly enough after she clinched the nomination.
Just last week, Clinton raised doubts about whether she would endorse Sanders if he wins the 2020 Democratic nomination to face Trump. Clinton told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview that she's “not going to go there yet,” but later took to Twitter to say her priority was to defeat Trump, “and, as I always have, I will do whatever I can to support our nominee.”
The Sanders campaign didn't immediately respond Friday to requests for a reaction about Clinton's comments. Last week, Sanders refused to comment on Clinton's critical remarks, saying only in a statement, "Together, we are going to go forward and defeat the most dangerous president in American history.”
In Friday's podcast, Clinton contrasted the conversations she had with Barack Obama in 2008 about unifying the party after he became the nominee with the conversations she had with Sanders in 2016 after it became clear she would come out on top. They were “like night and day,” she said.
Although there was “no question” about her nomination, she said, Sanders' “campaign and his principal supporters were just very difficult and really constantly not just attacking me but my supporters.”
At the Democratic National Convention, she said, Sanders' supporters were "booing Michelle Obama, John Lewis. It was very distressing and such a contrast between what we did to unite in ’08.”
“All the way up until the end, a lot of people highly identified with (Sanders’) campaign, were urging people to vote third party, urging people not to vote — it had an impact,” she said.
Clinton, who narrowly defeated Sanders in Iowa in 2016 but lost the state to Obama in 2008, also criticized the caucus process as “an undemocratic way of picking the nominee.”
“I’ll be happy to see the primaries start rolling around because that’s a much easier way for people to participate and for the outcomes to be much clearer,” she said.


H.... is keeping her presence in the campaign process - and harping (harpy) on Bernie again.

She plans to be the 2020 Fascist DPST nominee.

I think Obama will soon join her in dissing Sanders. They really don't want him - eating their own.

Man, the Democratic party is one huge clusterfuck right now. It is beginning to look like Bernie could win the nomination and that will be the end of the Democratic party. I think that is why we are seeing Bloomberg rising in the polls. The DNC is now saying they are going to let Bloomberg in the next debate and the rest of the candidates are furious especially Booker and Harris who have already dropped out over what they say is their "money" problem and how unfair it is for Bloomberg to just jump in with all his money.


Clusterfuck! and getting worse by the day with all the race-baiting and identity politics. I mentioned in another thread ( sorry Jackie for hi-jacking ) how Warren said if she becomes President, she will let a 9 year old "trans child" interview candidates for Secy of Education and actually pick the candidate the "trans child" likes best. These people have lost their fucking minds. When Warren said that, she of course got a loud approval and she was all smiles and she says "you like that idea"? OK, let's do that! More applause. Yes Alice, we do appear to have entered wonderland. I'm loving it watching the Democrats eat their own!


And the impeachment? Don't get me started! Too late! The Democrats are running around with their hair on fire having not gotten the witnesses and saying that if Trump is acquitted, it won't be legal, it won't be this, it won't be that and how nobody will be able to say he was exonerated. I would love to have somebody tell me that to my face and I would say Exonerated! Exonerated! Exonerated! And LMFAO!

Good point Ellen.

Seriously though, I still don't get why the DNC didn't thin out the lemmings earlier. Now this stuff is way more ugly than it would have been several months ago.

I think Sanders made a mistake running as a democrat. he should be running as an independent democratic socialist.

The Bernie Babies make up a pretty good voting block, especially with AOC and the Squad signing up.There are a lot of losers who will fall for Bernie’s “from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” bullshit.

If they can’t have their free shit, they will take their ball and go home.

And home doesn’t have any voting booths.
