To Sanders supporters FROM a Sanders supporter: please stop saying Bernie should've got the nom.

63. Your rather amusing claim that both sides did this is false

The Clinton campaign never went negative on Sanders even thought there was a ton of great material for two reasons. First, no one in the real world believed that Sanders had any chance of being the nominee. Sanders was effectively mathematically eliminated after Super Tuesday due to the fact that Sanders was soundly rejected by Jewish, African American and Latino voters. There was zero need to attack sanders or go negative on him. Sanders had no chance in the real world of being the nominee and attacking Sanders would be a waste of resources.

The second reason is that many sanders supporters are childish and over reacted to any one who did not believe that Sanders was a saint. These supporters attacked and sent hate mail to Planned Parenthood and the Human Rights group because these groups endorsed Hillary Clinton. Posters on the African American board here were attacked for not supporting Sanders. John Lewis was booed at the National Convention by Sanders supporters. If the Clinton campaign had gone negative on Sanders then the sanders supporters would have gone even more nuts.

Ken, I was a delegate to the National Convention. That meant that I was vetted by the Clinton campaign (I actually helped vet other delegates for the campaign). A candidate's delegates to the National Convention are suppose to reflect their candidate. The Sanders delegates to the national convention were not vetted and a good numbers of these delegate did a great deal of damage to the sanders wing of the Democratic party. One of my daughters was my guest at the convention and obscenities were screamed at her by Sanders delegates because she did not support Sanders. If the Sanders delegates to the national convention represent the Sanders wing of the Democratic Party, do not count on becoming the dominant part of the party.

The Clinton delegates were asked to ignore the boorish behavior of the Sanders delegation at the National Convention. The term spoiled children was used to described the Sanders delegates.

Ken your claim that both sides did this is simply false. If you want to move on, then be honest about what happened and condemn your fellow sanders supporters for such things as (i) sending hate mail to Planned Parenthood and the HRC, (ii) booing John Lewis, (iii) sanders weak efforts to control his own delegates at the national convention, (iv) the booing of Congressman John Lewis at the convention and (v) sanders attacks on Hillary Clinton during the campaign. If you want to move forward, then be honest about what happened.
