According to excerpts that have surfaced online, Clinton accused Sanders of resorting to “innuendo and impugning my character” during the contentious primary because the Democratic socialist “couldn’t make” a policy argument against her.
“Nonetheless, his attacks caused lasting damage, making it harder to unify progressives in the general election and paving the way for Trump’s ‘Crooked Hillary’ campaign,” Clinton wrote.
Clinton’s book -- "What Happened” – isn’t set for release until Sept. 12. But several supporters who obtained the book have published early purported excerpts on social media.
In the book, the former Democratic presidential nominee compared Sanders to the “deranged hitchhiker” in the 1998 Ben Stiller movie “There’s Something About Mary.”
“A deranged hitchhiker says he’s come up with a brilliant plan,” Clinton wrote, describing a scene in the movie. “Instead of the famous ‘eight-minute abs’ exercise routine, he’s going to market ‘seven minute abs.’ It’s the same, just quicker. Then the driver, played by Ben Stiller, says, ‘Well, why not six-minute abs?’”
Clinton added: “That’s what it was like in policy debates with Bernie. We would propose a bold infrastructure plan or an ambitious new apprenticeship program for young people, and then Bernie would announce basically the same thing, but bigger.
...
Clinton lamented in the book how she was pressured – including by President Obama – not to “hit back against Bernie’s attacks.”
“My team kept reminding me that we didn’t want to alienate Bernie’s supporters,” Clinton wrote. “President Obama urged me to grit my teeth and lay off Bernie as much as I could. I felt I was in a straitjacket.”
...
She also accused some of Sanders’ supporters – “the so-called Bernie Bros” – of harassing her supporters online and being “more than a little sexist.”

Character cannot be damaged when one has none.
Hillary Clinton inspired Crooked Hillary statements.
The truth hurts, Hillary. Just ask Ron Brown, Vince Foster, and the dozens of others who mysteriously disappeared after the went against you.
The wretched thing is truly sick literally and figuratively and has never honestly assumed responsibility for anything in her worthless life. Anyone with a shred of character knows what excuses are like. She is grade A.
A lot of us always thought you belonged in a straightjacket.
No adult with even an ounce of self-respect would ever write this drivel.
The President of the United States is supposed to be a leader, first and foremost -- and American voters expect that quality above all else.
Hillary Clinton comes across as someone who couldn't even lead people out of a burning house.

Oh noes...impugning her character!!!!! how is that possible???? Hrc screwed bernie during the primaries with a rigged dnc and primary system...heaven knows how could anyone find anything else to impugn???? Go crawl under a rock and continue your extortion mafia protection schemes hrc.
.. and thus, by her own actions , she PROVED him right.
How about the statement :"..we'll all hang, together"
And yet you wonder how you lost ?
What a self-centered dolt ! How obtuse !
Crooked Hiterly rigged her townhall with Bernie Sanders to steal the DNC nomination. CNN and the Democrats gave her the questions ahead of time.
Crooked Hill Is Crooked
She’s just upset that somebody dared oppose her in an election. She has to be the most “entitled” person in America. More proof that her loss was a good thing for our country.
This is great, she’s not going to re-piss off all the Bernie supporters.
Is there somewhere a comprehensive listing of Hillary’s excuses? It’s getting hard to keep track of them.
Phil Crane tried the same thing with Reagan in 1980. It doesn’t work if you are a good candidate with a good plan and a good reputation.
Imagine, if you will how such a self-centered and petty mind could grasp, much less meet the challenges the American President faces on this day and in coming weeks and months.
That Divine Providence of whom America's Founders and framers of its structuring of a government for a free people must surely have been among us in the election cycle of 2016!
Look lady, being bashed by an opponent is not new. It’s called “politics” and it’s been practiced that way in the United States at least since the 1800 election between Jefferson and Adams.
Basically, herself is admitting she couldn’t take a punch. In addition to her many other criminally psychopathic flaws, I don’t want someone with a political glass jaw in the White House.
Aren’t Hillary supporters even embarrassed by these lame excuses? If she wasn’t so evil, it would be pathetic.
It will be amusing to compile a list of all the people she blames for her loss in this book. Of course, none will be named Hillary Clinton.
