1. sorry.. you can't connect those timelines to now...

That was during the convention when she very much needed his support.

To go further would re-litigate the election so I won't go there. But it is disingenuous to connect convention speaches with what came after.

[ehrnst]

4. Yes, the convention endorsement was different for many many reasons...

than what came after.

[NurseJackie]

5. Nothing came after... not much anyway. Just a long long long period of silence.

[ehrnst]

8. To be fair, he did have his hands full...

14. After campaiging for Hillary you mean right?

[NurseJackie]

17. No. That crucial period after the convention and well into the GE...

No. That crucial period after the convention and well into the GE there were WEEKS of total silence. It was a critical moment that could have been used to promote unity and heal wounds. But... alas... silence. So the divisions and hurt feelings and the battle-wounds were left to become infected and to rot and fester. It was a missed opportunity to show character and leadership and integrity.

[ehrnst]

19. Did you bother to read the article in my post? that August, before he campaigned for her...

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

31. Yeah, but apparently Bernie's 40+ campaign appearances on behalf of Hillary wasn't good enough.

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join the revolution!!

[LiberalLovinLug]

34. sore winners

When you think about it, its Sanders supporters that should be holding grudges. But we take our lead from Sanders who steadfastly refuses to go personal.

It was Sanders, and his supporters, that should have been angry at what was revealed in those leaked DNC emails. And more butt-hurt because WE LOST. Then Sanders implored his supporters to vote Hillary, and campaigned for her, and we all got behind Hillary and it was up to her campaign to win the Rust Belt States, not Sanders. His supporters, who also believe Sanders would have prevented this whole Trump nightmare if he'd run, should be the ones that are angry.
Bizzare.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

37. SO TRUE! You can count on Bernie to always keep it classy...sad to see Hillary take shots like this

that only creates divisiveness, which helps tRump win.


Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join the revolution!!

[ehrnst]

38. Classy? Like this?

39. Sanders doesn't have to go personal, he has Turner/Gray/Sirota/West/Sarandon doing it for him.

[yardwork]

13. Jill Stein got a lot of vocal support from Sanders surrogates.

[George II]

40. Not just vocal support, she got their VOTES!

[billpolonsky]

22. Let's compare

Bernie did 39 stops for Hillary after the convention


Hillary did 12 for Obama

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

32. BOOOOOOOOOM!!

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join the revolution!!

[George II]

41. That's not true, Clinton LOTS more than 12 for Obama. In fact, a day or two after the convention...

...she joined Obama on his post-convention bus tour.

Sanders left before the convention adjourned in July and didn't campaign for Clinton until Labor day, about 6 weeks later.

If you look at his "39" stops, many of them were in New England, with 3-4 clustered in one day, which counted as "4 stops".

2. Thanks for posting. Your video of Sanders at the convention proves the point.

HRC was attempting to be gracious and to reach out to Sanders and his supporters, and he sat grimacing.

A painful reminder.

Sanders is alienating every wing of a party that he does not deign to join. That's OK, he will NEVER be our nominee.

[Thekaspervote]

3. This!!

[Sloumeau]

6. Yep, totally that! :)

[ehrnst]

7. Yep.

[BeyondGeography]

9. It was childish

For the normal, adult reaction, see Jane right next to him.

[NurseJackie]

10. This is his "Last Hurrah"...

Hurrah!

[PatSeg]

11. That image of him "grimacing"

at the convention is seared into my brain. He did campaign for Hillary and supported her candidacy, but his face at that moment told a different story.

[George II]

18. He left the Convention before it was over and didn't show up again until Labor Day.

[PatSeg]

23. He needs to act more like a statesman

That is what most voters look for in a president, unless of course you are Trump's wacky base.

[George II]

25. I would have left out the word "more" in that sentence.

[PatSeg]

35. I'm trying to be as diplomatic

as I'd like our candidates to be.

[Quixote1818]

21. What on earth are you talking about????

I just watched it and saw nothing like your suggesting. He smiled several times.

[berksdem]

33. Boom! +1

[Wellstone ruled]

12. I have not said boo about Bernie one way or another.

After yesterday's Tur interview of Ms.Gray,that did it. Have to say,if Gray is allowed to keep spewing lies like a Trumper,well,Bernie is Toast.

Do remember the 2016 Caucus and what went down with a few Bernie Bros or what ever they called themselves. As some one whom ran the Bernie side of our Precinct,I had to deal with one of these Hillary Hatefilled people,it took our Precinct Chair to finally throttle this persons mouth. When it came to State Convention,will that did it,when people willy nilly throw crap about someone just to muddy the water or try to poison the well,good bye and may the door not hit you where it does the most good,right in your ass.

BTW,jumped ship to the other Candidate and so glad to have done it.

[brooklynite]

15. I want to thank Barack Obama

[George II]

16. That was years ago, and before Sanders booked to Vermont for six weeks....

....and reluctantly (and infrequently) campaigning for her after Labor Day.

You can post those as much as you want, doesn't change history.

[PatSeg]

24. Seriously?

Typical Hillary move? I think she is one of many Democrats who is concerned with how he is running his campaign and doesn't want to see another four years of Trump.

[Quixote1818]

26. Just a little reminder as to what started all of this bickering in the first place

[PatSeg]

36. I don't think I've ever seen that clip

It is hardly helpful for Democrats.

[Bev54]

27. Wow

You obviously like revisionist history. It is people like you that have put the US in the position it is now.

[Hortensis]

28. Wow! My response to tberry's revelation also.

[Bev54]

29. Seems tberry made a good decision

to remove the post.

[Hortensis]

30. Too late. Ol' Tberry65 only has 30 or so posts,

may not have read over the TOS.
