(50,254 posts)He has always supported what PP stands for. There was never any difference in his positions and commitment on choice and contraceptive access and Hillary's. They were exactly the same.
If they'd endorsed him(which they could just as easily have done on the merits), I'm not sure you can say that nobody who backed your candidate wouldn't have said anything critical.
There were a lot of women who questioned PP's decision, as far as that goes.
and a lot of LGBTQ people who questioned the Human Rights Campaign's decision to endorse Hillary.
I'm trying to get us past the primaries here.
The primaries didn't cause the fall result.
Trump would have carried the EC even if Bernie hadn't run at all and even if Hillary had run on the 2008 platform again.
