I was remembering his hissy fits that he did not get the nomination in 2000 and the way he stuck it to W. every chance he got, like he’s doing to Trump now.

When he did that, I knew it was over.
2008 was supposed to be the year two low-energy candidates were slated to shuffle around one another until Hillary won.
