Clinton book says Bernie Sanders inflicted 'lasting damage' on her campaign
Hillary Clinton believes the “attacks” Bernie Sanders leveled at her during the 2016 Democratic primary “caused lasting damage,” made it harder to “unify progressives” and paved the way for Donald Trump’s “Crooked Hillary” refrain during the general election.
Clinton adds “that’s not a smear” — it’s what the independent senator from Vermont himself says. Sanders lost his bid for the Democratic nomination and endorsed Clinton at the Democratic National Convention.
“He didn’t get into the race to make sure a Democrat won the White House,” Clinton continues. “He got in to disrupt the Democratic Party.”
And while Sanders “was right Democrats needed to strengthen [their] focus on working families” and engage younger voters, “he was fundamentally wrong about the Democratic Party,” Clinton argues, ticking off a list of Democrat-led accomplishments including Social Security, Mideast peace, the auto industry bailout and health care reform....

Hillary seems determined to ensure 2 terms of Donald Trump.
I am laughing now. It just keeps getting more ridiculous with this woman. Is there anyone she hasn't blamed other than the person who actually is responsible? Herself.
Like the true narcissist she is, there is no way in hell she'll ever admit that people rejected her based on her own words and actions.
Honestly, from the start there were so few undecided people. There was a split down the middle and it was a matter of winning over a few independents and not alienating your own party. Even the super-liberal Susan Sarandon didn't support Hillary. Those who were for her were not swayed by Bernie or Trump. Her faithful followers didn't give a shit about the shady past of the Clintons, Benghazi, or any other scandal surrounding her. So, nothing Bernie or Trump said made a damn bit of difference.
Hillary just wasn't well liked. Period. I knew a lot of Dems who supported Trump from the start. My liberal friends on FB liked him and pledged support even when I was saying 'no way' and hoping Ben Carson or Ted Cruz would get the nod.
Hillary has blamed everything but global warming but it wouldn't surprise me if that excuse was in the book, too.
Her claims are beyond belief and if she wants to keep looking like a whiney, sorry excuse for a woman, then so be it. All her tantrums have done is show us that she would have been the worst choice to lead this nation.
That shrew should just retire and stay out of the public eye. Otherwise, she'll become more and more of a laughing stock and will run out of people to blame for her woes.
