And the 2016 Ralph Nader Award Goes to… Bernie Sanders
http://time.com/4569766/bernie-sande...ph-nader-2016/

Quote:
Sanders distracted Hillary Clinton from creating a unified vision for the future

On Election Day, Senator Bernie Sanders earned the 2016 “Ralph Nader Award” for the Leftist Most Responsible for Helping Republicans Win the Presidency. True, Donald Trump cleverly exploited voters’ frustrations. And Hillary Clinton’s campaign in 2016 was as rigid and empty as it was when she lost in 2008. Still, Sanders helped Clinton lose. His insurgency pushed her too far left to prevent an effective re-centering in the fall, while goading her into wooing different constituencies rather than uniting the nation.

Bernie standing up in huge stadiums castigating Clinton did not really help his progressive goals.

Outcomes matter not emotion.

Hillary flawed? Of course. So is the electorate. If people who supported Sanders were so dense as to not vote for Hillary on 8 November then whatever Trump does to them is their own fault.

I am proud to be a Hillarybot. That shine will fade from Sanders as Trump threatens our democracy.

This is the reality. Put up a loser, you will lose. But this one was special.

The choice between Trump and Cruz was far less stark that that of Clinton and Trump. Would Bernie prevail in a do-over with Clinton? Mebbe. Would he prevail against Trump? Probably not. White male America wasn't looking for a Soshialist from New England to bring back their dream world.

So Hillary lost to Trump because Bernie made her look bad.
Bernie would also have lost to Trump, but he is not a Democrat, is he?
So why was Hillary the only Democrat to be nominated?
Arrogance and stupidity.

I wonder what the real reason Joe Biden didn't run is?
