'Nobody likes him' - Hillary Clinton bashes Bernie Sanders

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Hillary Clinton criticized the campaign of her former Democratic presidential rival Bernie Sanders in a new documentary in which she says he was an ineffective U.S. senator who accomplished little because "nobody liked him."

 

Clinton also weighed in on the dispute between Sanders and 2020 Democratic presidential rival Elizabeth Warren centering around the electability of women, saying Sanders demonstrated "a pattern" in how his campaign attacked women rivals.

 

The criticism, made in a Hulu documentary to be shown at the Sundance Film Festival on Saturday and an interview promoting it, revealed lingering bitterness toward Sanders after he mounted an unexpected Democratic primary challenge to Clinton in 2016. Clinton backers blame Sanders' supporters for tarnishing her with vitriolic criticism that helped put Republican Donald Trump in the White House.

 

Hillary Clinton criticized the campaign of her former Democratic presidential rival Bernie Sanders in a new documentary in which she says he was an ineffective U.S. senator who accomplished little because "nobody liked him." Yahaira Jacquez reports.

 

"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," Clinton says in the documentary, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

 

Asked recently by the magazine if that assessment still holds, Clinton said, "Yes, it does."

 

Sanders said in a statement that "my focus today is on a monumental moment in American history: the impeachment trial of Donald Trump. Together, we are going to go forward and defeat the most dangerous president in American history."

 

Clinton did not commit to endorsing and campaigning for Sanders should he win the nomination this year, citing a competitive Democratic field, but she criticized his campaign as having a culture of insult and attack.

 

"I will say, however, that it's not only him, it's the culture around him. It's his leadership team. It's his prominent supporters. It's his online Bernie Bros and their relentless attacks on lots of his competitors, particularly the women," Clinton told the Hollywood Reporter.

 

When she was asked about the dispute over whether Sanders told Warren in a private conversation that a woman could not beat Trump, Clinton pointed out that she got 3 million more votes than Trump in the 2016 presidential election.

 

Clinton called the dispute part of a pattern with Sanders, noting he had attacked her as being unqualified despite her experience, including as secretary of state and a U.S. senator.

 

She encouraged voters "to elect a president who's going to try to bring us together, and not either turn a blind eye, or actually reward the kind of insulting, attacking, demeaning, degrading behavior that we've seen from this current administration."

"Nobody likes him" -- except for the American people, who rate him the nation's most popular politician. But who cares about voters? Certainly not a failed presidential candidate who lost to a reality TV host. (https://t.co/5ILjFOTsMh) (https://t.co/O1xhkOxIPV) https://t.co/oVgV8OqUUP

Is he "deplorable" Hillary?

 

Fact is, nobody likes you. If they did, Trump wouldn't be in power. So jog on.

So she was pushing sub-prime lending which nearly brought down the world?

[BobBKK]

It's probably true but then no one liked her either. The Dems are in total disarray with none of them good enough to beat Trump 2020.

ahh liberals, always getting the wrong end of the stick. I would say not being endorsed by Clinton is a huge boost - she is nothing but a neo-liberal shrill who couldn't even muster a proper response to the stupidity of Trump.

Yes. 

Actually the most votes of any presidential candidate in American history. 

[bendejo]

Probably a response to Bernie not showing enthusiastic support for her as general election candidate in 2016.  If Bernie would have energized his base for her it would have changed history.  But what can she expect when she used party back-channels against him in the primaries?

Tsk tsk, missus.

I don't agree your rhetoric but I do think it would be a mistake for the democrats to nominate him.

She beat him overwhelmingly in that primary. She didn't need super delegates to do that. But I don't blame Bernie for her loss.

Perhaps because the voters didn't want the same old faces fronting for big business. Trump was elected because he WASN'T establishment.

But she probably does.

Meanwhile Bubba blamed her for not campaigning in enough blue-collar areas, as he advised.  Buzz was they were not on speaking terms for a while over this.

My lesson in her popularity (or lack of) was in 2008, when she was the primary favorite, then when Obama entered the race nearly every Dem went for him in very short order.

I would prefer to never hear from the three of them ever again.  I did get a laugh out of that Gabbard thing a few weeks back, though.

This coming from the worst democratic candidate since Mike Dukakis. A note to Hillary. You are not well liked, and you are respected by very few. The abuses you and your husband have committed with your foundation alone, are an abomination. You are a gangster, and the disrespect you and your party showed Bernie in 2016 cost you the election. your inane statements like the "deplorables' cost you 2 million votes. You made at least five major blunders that could have represented millions of votes each. Even Trump did not think he was going to win. You blew it big time. Go away. 

 

Yet, you never learn, do you?

Hillary...please go away already!

We know: the fact that you lost an election, that you should have won, is everybody's fault but your own!

"Nobody like him"- projection much?

 

"He is a career politician"...coming from HILLARY CLINTON!

Jesus, woman...????

Pointing fingers at the moral failings of voters for their defeats.

[Kelsall]

More evidence Bernie needs to accept his lot in life which is he will once again be screwed out of the nomination.  Right now he's holed up in the Senate, unable to campaign.  Hillary's getting in a little more practice kicking him while he's down (not that she needs the practice LOL!).

 

Makes no difference anyway.  No one can beat Trump.  MAGA 2020 guaranteed.

What are you talking about?

If you mean the electoral college that can only be changed by a constitutional amendment which would be almost impossible to pass.
