Sanders says it’s not Comey’s fault that Clinton lost
New York Post ^ | November 14, 2016 | David K. Li

Posted on 11/14/2016, 8:48:37 PM by Leaning Right

Bernie Sanders on Monday refused to blame James Comey for Hillary Clinton’s stunning defeat – just moments after a top New York Democrat said the FBI director should be fired.

*snip*

Sanders downplayed Comey’s impact and instead pinned Clinton’s loss on the Democratic Party’s failure to connect with white working-class, non-college-educated voters.

Hillary had a bitter product.

Trump had a better product...

Soros’s paid rioters should protest the DNC and Hillary, not Trump for their loss.

They had a flawed, unappealing product to sell but thought they had a bull market and got arrogant. Simple as that. Comey tried his best to tamp down any controversy regarding Hillary Clinton. He didn’t create the situation but he sure did try to hide it. Not Comey’s fault.

Sort of like blaming the police officer if you get a DUI.

It is Obummer’s fault, he took what was her due in ‘08.

Who wouldn't want this raving lunatic as president?

I mean, seriously, come on, just look at her.

Michael Moore turns out to be absolutely right, and then Bernie Sanders reveals himself to be the sanest man in the Democrat Party.

I don’t think my brain can handle any more this week.

It was the “straw that broke the camel’s back”. And just like that straw, it is not really what broke the camel’s back. It was simply a thing of almost no substance that, when added to a crushing mountain of substance, became the tipping point.

If there had been no server, there would have been no Comey announcement.

Bernie is correct.
The blaming of the white man for all the society’s ills finally came back to bite them in the butt................

I keep typing it and hoping some National person will lift it for themselves.

That is the way I see it. Bitter vs Better

Bernie was at least honest about his beliefs, and I don’t think he was a serial liar like Clinton.

Granted, they are STUPID beliefs, but at least he’s not criminal.

It would have been a whole different race between him and Trump.

I am actually stunned that Comey was not fired by 0bama, did not resign on his own, or did not die suddenly of “natural causes” about Thursday of last week.

That is the creepy face of contempt and narcissistic rage. She’s a predator.

If Hillary wasn’t such an unprincipled POS she may have actually won.

Then again, if she wasn’t an unprincipled POS more than likely no one would have ever heard of her.
It’s really the only thing she’s ever been any good at.

Yep. Hillary spent her time at $5000-a-plate private fundraisers. Bernie would have visited the mill towns instead, as Trump did. That might have made a difference in Pennsylvania and Ohio.

But Bernie is a proud socialist/communist. Many rank-and-file union folks don't go for that.

It would have been interesting, for sure.
