Re: 2020 Democratic Challengers IV: Culling the Herd
No they were divided that was the problem. If Bernie stands up when it was obvious he was done (which was long before he did this) and says "We fought the good fight, we will continue to fight the good fight but she beat me fairly and now it is our job to help her defeat Trump" that would have gone a long ways towards closing the gap. Would she have won the General...I doubt it because she still would have screwed up in the 3 key states. It could be argued though that it may have made some difference in the Bernie supported states but probably not enough to win.
I am not blaming Bernie for her loss, but just because that may have been inevitable doesnt make his conduct all of a sudden ok. The Bernie Bros would have thrown a fit if Hillary was going to lose and refused to endorse...hell half the Democratic Party slapped her down when she tried to extend longer than needed when it was clear Obama won. That isnt how the game is played. When you have no road to victory you take your loss. I dont care who is running that is how the game is played.
