'It hurt': Clinton says Sanders dragged out nomination fight
Yahoo ^ | September 12, 2017 | Dylan Stableford

Hillary Clinton says Bernie Sanders’s reluctance to concede the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination before the party’s convention was disrespectful, hurtful and stood in stark contrast to the way she handled her primary loss to Barack Obama in 2008.

“I had such a different experience in ’08,” Clinton said in an interview with the “Pod Save America” podcast that was posted on Tuesday. “Once it was over, it was over. And I quickly endorsed President Obama. I worked really hard to get him elected. I was still arguing with my supporters at the Denver convention, telling people, ‘Don’t be ridiculous. You’ve got to vote for Senator Obama, at the time.’ And I was thrilled when he got elected.”

“And I was thrilled when he got elected”

because Obama promised her Secretary of State, where she’d have lots of room to maneuver out of the public eye. If she were president she could not have gotten away with as much.

For much of her tenure in Sate we had no idea where she was or who she was talking to.

That Democrat nomination process was such a joke. Bernie was beating Hillary in state after state with the popular vote but Hillary was walking away with more delegates!

In Wyoming, for example, Bernie beat her 56-44% but Hillary took 11 delegates to Bernie's 7.

I still can't figure out why the Bernie supporters just rolled over for that nonsense.

The Clinton campaign vastly underestimated Bernie Sanders. They thought he would provide only token opposition to Hillary’s coronation. She had hundreds of “super delegates” pledged to her before the primaries even began. When it became apparent that Sanders was raising more money than her, the DNC changed the fundraising rules to enable Hillary to bring in more cash. Donna Brazille provided her with debate questions in advance. Despite all this, Bernie Sanders ran a much more competitive campaign than they ever expected, and damn near took the nomination away from her. Now it’s “Bernie’s fault” (among many others) because she lost the election.

Typical Hillary, not a drop of self awareness.

A lot of them apparently didn't -- especially in the Rust Belt states where Sanders did very well.

I'm actually surprised Hillary Clinton didn't give more attention during the general election campaign to states like Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota -- where she lost to Sanders and where Trump ran surprisingly strong in November.

It takes a special kind of loser to complain about the results of a primary campaign that were rigged in your favor. LOL.

The more she talks, the more dumb she is clearly seen to be. Washerwoman Schultz promised her the nom, but voters wanted Bernie. Hill made few appearances, cheated at the debates, and was videoed having myoclonic seizures almost weekly. And SHE IS HURT by how Bernie didn’t roll over for her??

Someone this wimpy and crybaby should not run for dogcatcher. She should shut up and lose gratefully like the demented witch she is.

This Clinton is unbelievable! She comes out with an excuse per day! At this point she has blamed everyone on the left and right and only has sycophants,those riding the Clinton gravy train and her handlers left. Even the media whores are wavering.

The media covered trumps every move on the campaign early on as a joke, but the joke was on their butts. Ha ha ha!

I think Obama was saying the same thing 8 years earlier. I guess its OK for her to fight to the end but not Sanders.

I don’t think she did much campaigning during the primary because it was rigged. Bernie just stepped in to fill the void on the campaign trail. She didn’t have any press conferences and even roped off the press during some stupid parade.
