Why would Hillary try to kneecap Bernie now? [View all]

" HILLARY ON BERNIE: “He was in Congress for years. He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done. He was a career politician. It's all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it." "

...seriously, I don't get it...

...Bernie's climbing in the polls?

...she's favoring someone other than Bernie?

...vengeance?

...bad blood?

...you know, division can only help trump...

...why do you think Hillary would try to kneecap Bernie now?

...I really would like to know...

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Yes, ridiculously so. bucolic_frolic Jan 2020 #23

I am still struggling to see how sanders had any real chance of being the nominee Gothmog Jan 2020 #64

"Hillary is wicked smart", says Obama of Hillary. "Many people" agree with him. oasis Jan 2020 #26
