Clinton won’t commit to backing Sanders if he’s nominee

Hillary Clinton refused to say whether she would endorse Bernie Sanders, her 2016 rival, if he wins the Democratic nomination and offered a broad condemnation of the progressive candidate’s style of politics.

“I’m not going to go there yet,” she said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published on Tuesday in response to whether she’d back Sanders. “We’re still in a very vigorous primary season. I will say, however, that it’s not only him, it’s the culture around him. It’s his leadership team. It’s his prominent supporters. It’s his online Bernie Bros and their relentless attacks on lots of his competitors, particularly the women.”

She added: “I really hope people are paying attention to that because it should be worrisome that he has permitted this culture — not only permitted, (he) seems to really be very much supporting it.”

Her comments ripped open the scars of the brutal 2016 primary battle between Sanders and Clinton just as Democrats are poised to begin voting on their next nominee. It could also energize Sanders loyalists who believed the Democratic establishment rigged the 2016 primary in Clinton’s favor. That could be especially helpful with the Iowa caucuses less than two weeks away and Sanders working to establish a clear lead in a top tier that includes former Vice President Joe Biden, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana.

Not a Bernie supporter, but it frosts my a— that this “B” thinks she has the honor to be a king-maker.

To hell with her.

Clinton’s aides sought to minimize any fallout from her comments. Nick Merill, Clinton’s spokesperson, tweeted that “we all need to work our heart out for the nominee, whoever that is, and @HillaryClinton, as usual, won’t be any exception.”

Still, the lingering tension between Clinton and Sanders is evident. In the interview, she was asked about comments she makes in an upcoming documentary in which she says Sanders has been in Congress for years but “nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done.”

So Hildebeast favors “Meeeee!” over country or party. And she holds grudges, like, forever.
Who knew?

crazy Bernie will not quit until his donations run out, and will last all the way to the convention and he will demand his payoff just like 2016... the corrupt establishment DNC is trying hard to avoid this again.

Hillary -- maybe a Sanders / Warren ticket would sweeten the deal and get your support? And if you're concerned with the woman being on the bottom perhaps it could be changed to a Warren / Sanders ticket.

“...nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done.”

“...but I won’t rule out supporting him if he’s the nominee, because I’m absolutely devoid of principles (just like the rest of my party).”

My take is that this little tiff will finish Hildabeast for swooping in at a brokered convention and claiming the nomination.

This little stupidity by Hilda will not go down well with Bernie supporters and the rest of the far left.
I see many dumb democrats sitting out the election.

“I’m not going to go there yet,” she said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter

Translation, "His check hasn't cleared yet!"

If a candidate needs advice on how to spend 1.4 billion dollars to lose a rigged election to a political nobody then I would ask Illary as she has first hand experience at that.
