New York – Hillary Clinton blamed attacks against her by Bernie Sanders during the Democratic primary for president on her eventual loss in the general election to Donald Trump.

In excerpts from Clinton’s forthcoming book “What Happened,” the former secretary of state wrote that the attacks by Sanders, a Vermont senator, caused “lasting damage” and were instrumental in “paving the way for Trump’s Crooked Hillary campaign.”
The book is scheduled to be released on Sept. 12, but Clinton supporters have posted photos of pages from the book on social media.
Clinton also said that she appreciated that Sanders campaigned for her in the general election.
“But he isn’t a Democrat – that’s not a smear, that’s what he says,” she wrote of the Independent. “He didn’t get into the race to make sure a Democrat won the White House, he got in to disrupt the Democratic Party.”
Clinton praised Sanders, a long shot for the nomination, for engaging “a lot of young people in the political process for the first time, which is extremely important.”
Clinton also wrote that President Barack Obama counseled her to “grit my teeth and lay off Bernie as much as I could,” according to the excerpts. She said that following that advice made her feel she was “in a straitjacket.”
Sanders, who will turn 76 this week, has not said whether or not he will run in the 2020 race, but did say in July that “I am not taking it off the table.”
She is such a sore loser. Basically she’s saying there shouldn’t have been any primary. She’s the anointed one.
What about the 9 or so republrepublicans that bashed Trump.
Ya ok Hillary another made up stupid thing. No one cares go away!
Loser! Double loser!
Blame, blame, blame…just maybe she was a lousy candidate and that’s why she lost 2 times…
I am utterly confused . Was it
1) misygony
2) The Russians
3) Commey
4) media bias against the Clinton s
5) Bernie
Which one?
Yet another scapegoat for hilLIARy..everyone else is to blame but her… Comey, Russia, Donald Trump… unreal.
To the witch you lost get over it
Every time she opens her lying mouth, she produces a new excuse for losing the election. It is everyone else’s fault, not her being a pathological liar, grossly dishonest, having murdered a host of people throughout her professional career, having changed her mind countless times to steal votes, having run a horribly negative campaign, having treated everyone she worked with like dogs, having embraced some of the worst political positions of the current era, having surrounded herself with a huge bunch of losers like herself, etc.
At some point, I am hoping she will say the real reason she keeps losing. People don’t like her. She is not a likable person.
Still doesn’t get it?
Missing punctuation ?
Try: “What Happened ?”
Maybe a better title.
blame the jew.
she sees that Trump and his supporters didn’t even listen to her tantrums so she tried again her luck attacking Bernie maybe then will someone remind themselves that she still lives… loser…
She had so much baggage on her, she needed to call an 18 wheeler to shlep it with her.
