2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: President Obama sends clear message to Bernie or Busters ... [View all]KPN
(15,646 posts)53. That is so much crap.
Do you even realize that what he ran on is the basis of what he got elected on???!!!
Obama would not have been elected had he run a different campaign.
So the issue today for many people who voted for him is TRUST.
And obviously many (45%) of Dems don't TRUST Hillary -- nor should they based on her record or the record of the Party the past 35 years.
By the way -- I suspect you are just a Hillary/DNC/corporate troll. Only seen you here the last month or so -- and you're all anti-progressive from what I've seen.

It's especially odd in light of attacks on Sanders' willingness to compromise.

That vocal contingent would be the first to attack him once he got in office . . .

I had hope for him as a constitutional lawyer, until he tried to undo a part of it.

Doesn't he have a trade deal to cram down our throats that he can focus on ?

I think a lot of people are hoping for revenge. Like in Flint, with SBS's vindictive response- fire

I agree with Obama completely. Unfortunately, Sanders' supporters don't/won't get it.
