Once again Saturday night Bernie Sanders was playing his part to enable Hillary Clinton to pretend to be a victim, a strategy that has worked for her in the past. The newest topic is that she was victimized by Bernie Sanders’ political campaign. Sanders used the debate on December 19 as an opportunity to apologize to her for alleged abuse of her voter information.
This is very suspicious, since Democrats never admit to anything. Before both of her Presidential campaigns, for many months Hillary wouldn't even admit she was running for President. For Bernie Sanders to admit at a debate venue on national TV that his campaign was engaged in unethical campaign practices is out of step with the Democrats' characteristic of never admitting to mistakes.
This is not just out of character for Democrats, it follows the comment of Bernie Sanders at the first campaign that he is tired of hearing about Hillary's "damn" emails. Hillary's handling of emails as Secretary of State is a very serious issue. She violated many Title 18 provisions and committed many federal felonies. If not for the FOIA requests of Judicial Watch the voting public would not have seen any of her emails. She did everything possible to cover up her felonious behavior.
This is typical Clinton strategy: to commit crimes or violate ethical rules, then refuse to cooperate with investigations, delay them for years, then say there's nothing there, then lie and deny. Bernie Sanders helped her continue the lying and denying about emails at the first debate, now he's interjecting a new attempt to rescue her campaign by making her a victim of abuse perpetrated by his campaign.

He’s there to make us think of him as the old guy in the race, so we forget how old she is.
Maybe Bern wants to be VP?
She needed to be seen beating up a sissy boy in order to make her appear more masculine.
Bernie Sanders was the very definition of “straw man”.
And like the scarecrow set up in the cornfields, totally ineffective.
Is this coordinated, or is he just a useful idiot, cluelessly playing idealistic-Trotsky to Clinton’s Stalin?

Perfect description.
Ross Perot was Mr. Bill’s puppet.
We all got that with "I don't care about your damn e-mails".
Fortunately, the 20-somethings will never figure it out. so They will vote en masse for Bernie and stay out of our primary.
Bernie is Hillary’s beard?
Enter Bernie, the fake opposition. Bernie Sanders is perfect for the DNC. He's visible enough thanks to a loyal cult following, yet has zero chance of being nominated, because outside his cult of college kid fans, everyone knows he's unelectable in a general election. And just in case Sanders would get high enough in the polls to embarrass Hillary in early primaries, he gets told to tone down his opposition - i.e. Bernie pre-emptively defending Hillary about the email server scandal (no doubt on orders from DNC higher-ups), Bernie being put in his place about access to Democratic donor information, etc.
Another example of how the DNC has choreographed Hillary's coronation is Joe Biden's long "decision" not to run. It wasn't his decision, it was the DNC's. He was allowed to consider running early on as a pinch-hitter if Hillary's scandals exploded. Since they didn't, Biden was out.
The RNC tried to same stunt with the intent of coronating Jeb, but fortunately things didn't work out as smoothly for the GOP establishment as they did for the Democratic Party.
They needed a left-wing, registered Independent, non-Democrat, Socialist/Marxist to make Hillary look like a moderate, which she is NOT. Talk about two left feet!
Hillary = Harlem Globetrotters
Bernie = Whatever pickup team is there to lose to the above.
She also needs to stand next to an open socialist so she can appear “moderate”.
Clintonian triangulation?
