(158,121 posts)Sanders was not vetted by the press because no one in the real world believed that Sanders would be the nominee. The Clinton campaign never attacked Sanders because Sanders was a very weak candidate who had no chance of winning and because Sanders supporters over-reacted to any one not treating Sanders like a deity. A good example is what I saw at the National Convention I was delegate to the national convention and I saw the Sanders supporters boo Congressman John Lewis because they felt that Lewis was mean to point out that Sanders was not a major player in the protests. The boos were really discussing but the Sanders supporters felt justified in attacking Congressman John Lewis.
Do you approve of the Sanders supporters attacking and booing Congressman John Lewis?
