Some of it was hers(not the majority), some the campaign organization, some of it the more intemperate Sanders supporters(the vast majority got behind her and campaigned for her in the fall), some of it Comey's treachery.
It can't be ALL the fault of Bernie and his supporters, and we're never going to win if it's an expectation that everyone who ever supported Bernie is expected to recant. Some of it, yes, but not all, and it's not as though we'd have won if only everyone had agreed to accept her as nominee before the primaries had happened. Such a campaign would still have been derailed by the emails and the Comey trick.
My point here is trying to get us past the primaries.
Hillary will never run again. Neither will Bernie.
Can't we stop judging people based on who they backed in the primaries?
