Whoopi Goldberg Spars With Bernie Sanders: 'Why Are You Still in the Race?'

11. Yes He DID.

Well, I guess half-assed efforts and waiting til after the convention to step up qualifies as "support."

I forget what the exact numbers were that I saw for after the Democratic convention. But I do remember his efforts constituted about half what he did, campaigning for himself. By the numbers, it worked out to roughly half as many speeches as there were days in each month after the convention. Like - 15 or 16 per month, assuming a month has 30 days. When he was in it for himself, he was making campaign stops on a daily basis. Quite often, MORE than one PER day. Sometimes two or three (or more) campaign stops per day. And he did NOTHING between the end of the primary season to the convention. NOTHING. Hillary could have used the help.

She certainly made it happen after Barack Obama clinched the nomination by the time the primary season ended in 2008. She didn't sit and sulk for half the summer and wait til after the convention was over. She got right on it in JUNE. And she led the New York delegation, being the one to announce its votes to nominate him on the floor of the convention on nomination night.

Some of us don't forget, Bernie. Some of us WON'T EVER forget.
