2016 Postmortem

was treated by Hillary and her campaign in 2008.

'CLINTON, Iowa -- Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders, who’s faced a barrage of attacks in recent days from Hillary Clinton’s camp, on Saturday compared his plight to that of Barack Obama eight years ago.

In the 2008 election, Clinton started as the Democratic front-runner, only to see her lead slip away in the first caucus state to Obama.

“We get attacked about five times a day,” Sanders told a crowd of about 700 people here. “But it really reminds me very much of what happened here in Iowa eight years ago. Remember that? Eight years ago, Obama was being attacked for everything. He was unrealistic. His ideas were pie-in-the sky. He did not have the experience that was needed. You know what? People of Iowa saw through those attacks then, and they’re going to see through those attacks again.” '

I find it ironic how on this board they accuse Hillary of anything and everything, while their candidate is not above using politics just like anyone else. Poor Bernie is being attacked by mean Hillary.

As if Obama would prefer him to succeed in the WH over Hillary. Please........ Who are they kidding? Sanders wasn't even a Democrat until a handful of months ago. Has one single Democratic Senator endorsed him? No. Why would they feel any allegiance to a man who just joined the party out of political expediency?
