16. Nonesense, Sir --- He Has Not Achieved A Thing

He has said some things now and then, often things I approve of personally, but that means nothing to me in the absence of achievement. When appeal is made to 'standing on principle' I know I am in the presence of purblind fool. And Sanders did not do what was necessary in 2016. Sanders did not apologize for his smears, Sanders did not admit he smeared Mrs. Clinton with baseless charges of 'corruption', Sanders did not acknowledge in his primary campaign he had given 'bipartisan' cover to charges soon to be made by the Republicans. Sanders' 'campaigning' for Mrs. Clinton consisted of little more than his usual epater les bourgeoisie crusade against the 'Establishment' with the word 'Democratic' left out, in a manner something like the way an old bluesman will not pronounce some word or other in the cadence, leaving it to his audience to supply the sound in their minds, and thus join more firmly to his mood and his song. Sanders' speeches were not celebrations of Mrs. Clinton's looked for advent to the Presidency, nor urgent rallyings of his followers to her banner. Given the man's honest views and principles, how could they be? Do not think for a moment the monumental insincerity of his 'campaigning' for Mrs. Clinton was not noticed.
