Hillary Clinton tells Bernie Sanders backers: ‘When this nomination is wrapped

Coverage of the Saturday night Democratic debate has focused on Bernie Sanders’ apology to Hillary Clinton for his staff’s poor judgment in viewing her campaign’s proprietary data.

And now, Bernie Sanders has been barred from accessing the DNC’s national voter database because of a breach of Hillary’s voter data. On Sat., asked concerning the breach by moderator David Muir of ABC News source, Sanders stated his employees acted improperly when the Clinton knowledge “came to us” since the vendor “screwed up”.

“I’m very clear that we have a distinct difference between those of us on this stage tonight and all of our Republican counterparts”, she said, in her opening remarks. Sanders took the high road and apologized for his campaign’s role in the data breach, whether it was deliberate or not. Sanders’ campaign had staged a mini-rebellion over perceived favoritism on the part of the Democratic National Committee, which is part of a party establishment largely presumed to be in Clinton’s camp.

Sanders and O’Malley said seeking regime change left too many open-ended risks, as evidenced by the outcome of the 2003 Iraq invasion, which Clinton voted for as a senator from NY and Sanders opposed. But fact-checkers have found no such videos.

Senator Bernie Sanders was not ok with being accused of being spineless on gun control and made sure to correct O’Malley when he indicated that Bernie supported weak gun control in Washington.

Sanders’ campaign has successfully turned grassroots energy into a sizable war chest, announcing last week that it had received 2 million contributions – a milestone only matched by President Barack Obama in his re-election campaign.

Still, what the Democratic campaign lacks is the sense of forward motion and change of the kind seen in the Republican race. Whether Sanders can jolt the Democratic campaign anew when it resumes in earnest in two weeks is now his main challenge.

It would seem that the DNC wants Hillary Clinton to be the candidate because she would be their bridge to more money from Wall Street and the 1 percent, this while Sanders wants to make tuition free for public college students and comes off as a true progressive compared to Clinton’s Republican-lite approach. However, voters are far more likely to think the media is biased against Trump than against Clinton.
