I Made The Wrong Choice In 2016

Hillary Clinton showed her true colors once again and it’s time to admit I was wrong for choosing her over Bernie Sanders.

Hillary Clinton’s recent appearance on Howard Stern’s radio show is just the latest installment of Clinton blaming others for her embarrassing loss in 2016 to Donald Trump. The target this time is Senator Bernie Sanders. This isn’t the first time she has gone after him and it probably won’t be the last.

In the interview, Clinton claimed that Bernie did not endorse her quick enough after the primary process and hurt her chances against Trump. This is simply not true. Not only did Bernie endorse her, but he also traveled all over the country doing rallies to get her elected. He went to places like Wisconsin and Michigan — states the Clinton campaign had largely ignored.

I guess Clinton forgot what she said back in 2008 when asked if she was bothered that Sanders was fighting on in the primary even when his chances were dwindling. She told Rachel Maddow,

Remember, I’m the person who went all the way to the end in June in 2008, so why would I expect anybody running against me to give up or quit before the process is done? I don’t expect that at all.”
