Clinton blames Sanders for Trump’s ‘Crooked Hillary’ attack
By Jonathan Easley - 09/05/17 11:09 AM EDT
Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is blaming Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) for doing “lasting damage” to her campaign and “paving the way” for President Trump’s attack against her as “Crooked Hillary.”
According to excerpts of Clinton’s new campaign tell-all book, “What Happened,” Clinton claims that she wanted to fight back against Sanders’s characterization of her as beholden to corporate influence but that then-President Obama and others advised her to stay quiet.
“Throughout the primaries, every time I wanted to hit back against Bernie’s attacks, I was told to restrain myself,” Clinton writes. “Noting that his plans didn’t add up, that they would inevitably mean raising taxes on middle-class families, or that they were little more than a pipe-dream — all of this could be used to reinforce his argument that I wasn’t a true progressive. My team kept reminding me that we didn’t want to alienate Bernie’s supporters. President Obama urged me to grit my teeth and lay off Bernie as much as I could. I felt like I was in a straitjacket.”
Clinton ripped Sanders’s supporters — the so-called "Bernie Bros" — claiming that some of the attacks against her were “sexist” and arguing that Sanders’s attacks against her for raking in tens of millions of dollars for paid corporate speeches made it impossible for her to appeal to progressives during the general election campaign.

And like Sally sez that like Linda sez that Bonnie was a you know what in the girls bathroom.........puff, puff.....
Crooked Hillary trying to explain something that sounds rational enough, that people who are dumb enough will believe it.
Bad luck with that crime moll.
When is she going to GET OVER IT?!? She lost! She’s a pathetic creature.
Democrats attacking each other.
They don’t like each other even as they psychotically attack Trump at every turn.
To our President, they’re the gift that keeps on giving.
How dare he be upset Cankels and Company cheated and corrupted the primary system! The nerve!!!
Let’s join Hillary and Shirley Ellis, as they sing
The Blame Game!
“Donald, Donald, mo Monald, Banana-Fana-fo Fonald
Ding-Dang-oh-Ronald, Donald!
Good Lord woman, own your failures. We are all sick of your whining. You will NEVER be the first woman president & that makes a whole Lotta people weep wit laughter & joy. Bernie called your number even after you screwed him.
Karma’s a b**check baby!
Hahahaha... so Bernie drove the Democratic Party so far to the Left Hillary was rendered unelectable?
This is just too good to hear - you know, all that free stuff and whatnot?
And she was worried progressives would dump her if she attacked him. They dumped her anyway.
The rest as they say - was history.
She’s such a VICTIM of EVERYTHING. My gawd, what a loser!
With
I guess that’s when she and Deb Deb decided to put the kibosh of The Bern.
Miss Pickles is sour.
Hillary is angry that she had a primary challenger and she didn’t get the coronation without chicanery. Then she claims Trump was a Russian spy and that’s how HE beat her.
America’s national ex-wife can’t stop making excuses and it’s never HER fault.
So, now it is Bernie’s fault and even Obama’s fault she lost.
She has blamed just about everyone she could — except for the real culprit — HERSELF.
Since no one is going to read the book The Hill just had to put it out there.
” arguing that Sanders’s attacks against her for raking in tens of millions of dollars for paid corporate speeches made it impossible for her to appeal to progressives “
It’s not that she raked in tens of millions of dollars. It’s that someone “attacked” her for it.
Hillary Dictionary : “Attack” = point out true facts
Its NEVER her fault she lost - Its Putin’s, Its Bernie’s, Its Trump’s and its the Wretched, Ungrateful American People.
They all did her in. According to the fake news media - she deserved to win but for them.
Cue the violins!
I can barely believe the nerve of this woman...who clearly wasn’t physically up to the job...not to mention her character. Ww dodged a meglomaniac who thinks lies are ok as long as they get her what SHE thinks SHE deserves. She’s unbelievable!
Where are the phychiatrists who always chime in on the mental fitness of candidates?
So much for forty years of "girl power" since "Stifle it, Edith!" This was the person who was going to stand up to Russia and Korea and China?
