Hillary Clinton slammed Bernie Sanders in her new book, What Happened, calling the Senator from Vermont an ‘over-promiser’ whose attacks on her during the primary caused ‘lasting damage’ which paved the way for Donald Trump’s ‘Crooked Hillary’ campaign – while President Obama counseled her to ‘grit my teeth and lay off Bernie.’
In the book – slated for release on September 12th (1 year and 1 day after she was chucked into a van like a side of beef), Clinton says Sanders “had to resort to innuendo and impugning my character” because the two Democrats “agreed on so much,” according to CNN.

Clinton went on to blame some of Bernie’s supporters, “the so-called ‘Bernie Bros,’ took to harassing my supporters online. It got ugly and more than a little sexist.”
“When I finally challenged Bernie during a debate to name a single time I changed a position or a vote because of a financial contribution, he couldn’t come up with anything,” Clinton wrote. “Nonetheless, his attacks caused lasting damage, making it harder to unify progressives in the general election and paving the way for Trump’s ‘Crooked Hillary’ campaign.”
Cheating? What cheating?
Since the 500 page What Happened isn’t available for our reading pleasure, I’m going to make a long-shot prediction that there’s no mention of Hillary colluding with Donna Brazile to cheat against Bernie in the primaries… Because I’m sure the optics on that weren’t as bad as Bernie doing what every political candidate has done since the beginning of time and talking shit about their opponent.
Meanwhile, What Happened can be summed up in one meme:

Hillary, her fucking self, and the DNC paved the way for Trump’s win, bros (with maybe some Russia in there too). Guess what – if you look and act the the Emperor from Star Wars you ain’t getting voted on by me. Especially when your husband has already been Pres. This is fucking America, not some exotic land of dynasty (emphasis on nasty).
Bernie could have beat our dear leader in that election. It was closer than people give him credit for. I don’t think many of you know how much their campaigns overlapped.
I’m planning to save my Bernie 2016 button. I’ll display it next to my rare Pepe’s and I’ll hopefully still be laughing about it a good while later.
I’ll give you fuckers this: I like Trump better than I ever liked Her. Probably not for the reasons you’d think or even accept or hear but it’s true.
If she would have been such a great leader, why did she listen to those advisors and Obama and lay off Bernie? A great leader would have made the right decision and put a glove on Bernie.
Of course I know the book is pure BS so I speak from a totally rhetorical POV.
@HillaryWarnedUs blocked me after I replied to their tweet “I’d just blame bad luck with all the people around her that died suspiciously; and bad acting, “hot sauce” @hillaryclinton” and got a few likes / retweets.
What a dick! :-p
It’s been like, what? Four months? And Klinton is still not locked up. What’s with that?
