Bernie Sanders Responds to Hillary Clinton Claiming 'Nobody Likes Him': 'On a Good Day, My Wife

Likes Me, so let’s clear the air on that one.’

https://www.mediaite.com/politics/bernie-sanders-responds-to-hillary-clinton-claiming-nobody-likes-him-on-a-good-day-my-wife-likes-me/

Look, right now, today I am dealing with impeachment,” Sanders said. “Secretary Clinton is entitled to her point of view. My job right now is focusing on the impeachment trial. My job today is to put together a team that can defeat the most dangerous president in the history of the United States of America.


I think that Bernie is right to take the high road here. He is doing his job right now in the Senate. Let Hillary Clinton snipe at him from the sidelines if she wishes, but I don't think that she is being helpful and she risks alienating a large chunk of voters who will be needed in November.

You should search for caucus videos and news from 2016. The DNC and Hillary’s campaign played some really dirty tricks to keep Bernie from winning the primary.

However, as much as I hated what they did, I held my nose and voted for her.

Sanders is a self absorbed egotist, just as he was in 2016. Remember, Sanders was the already DEFINITIVELY defeated candidate in 2016 who REFUSED to allow Hillary to be nominated by the 2016 convention by acclamation. He is NO Democrat (just ask him), and he doesn’t much care about the future of the United States either.

as a whole rallies behind her. If the pile on here is indicative, uh oh. But maybe someone within the party will come out and counter her comments. We’ll see. It does occur to me that this follows shortly on a Obama’s comments about now is not the time to swing left. That doesn’t bode well.
