(68,586 posts)It was also the biggest regret of his life. I go to church with a woman who worked for him towards the end of his life. This has nothing to do with what I said...we lost that election too so I guess that is not really a good example of how a bitter primary helps anyone...it gave us Reagan...and we are still trying to recover from Reagan. Trump will be much worse. It is Bernie's fault that we lost states by such close votes...the bitter primary turned voters against Hillary and enough of those voters stayed home or voted for Trump...so we lost the election. I do blame him. Had Bernie Sanders not entered the primary, we would have Pres. Clinton. WE are so screwed, but Bernie...new book...great speeches about the Democratic Party even though he is not a Democrat...yeah...he did OK.
