Hillary Clinton fired a few shots in the ongoing civil war in the Democratic Party between her adherents and the far left progressive supporters of Bernie Sanders. In excerpts from her new book, “What Happened,” she appears to blame Sanders for the rise of President Trump.

Clinton said that Sanders agreed with her on policy issues so he had to resort to “innuendo and impugning my character.”

“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,” she said, referring to the “branding” that Trump hit her with through the campaign.

“He certainly shared my horror at the thought of Donald Trump becoming president,” she admitted.

“He didn’t get into the race to make sure a Democrat won the White House,” she added, “he got in to disrupt the Democratic Party.”

Clinton said Sanders was “fundamentally wrong about the Democratic Party,” even as she admitted he was right that the party didn’t focus enough on working class families.

One of the passages cited by Sanders supporters as a slight against him was this conclusion: “I am proud to be a Democrat and I wish Bernie were too.”

She also claimed that former President Barack Obama told her to not attack Sanders.

“President Obama urged me to grit my teeth and lay off Bernie as much as I could,” Clinton wrote. “I felt like I was in a straitjacket.”

The comments from Clinton will only fuel what many have identified as in-fighting in the Democrat Party as some demand that the party move farther left after a devastating loss to Donald Trump.

”…unifying the progressives…” That is just one of her quotes, a statement establishing her as a Traitor of the U.S. Progressive is the modern term for ”Slavery.” And the target is The Masses. Progressivism is trickle down Communism, to destroy our U.S. Constitution, individualism, our Liberty and replace it with a Communist system of government. Progressivism also targets Free Market Capitalism. Search: Frankfurt College of Cultural Marxism which defined the Democrat Party and their embracement of Eugenics, Marxism, Atheism, etc. She and everyone who peddles all forms of Marxism are Traitors.

Yes Hillary you know you should be in a straitjacket because you are clearly a liar, insane and stupid. What nerve, writing a book filled with lies and blaming others because you are so toxic. Who in the hell would even buy your book of delusional fantasies.

She will never ever take the responoeabillity for her loss and she will continue to add to the list of reasons why she lost that’s very clear to all . I too was not a big Trump fan but he won and frankly he is doing pretty good and better than I thought he would be doing . I support my President and will continue to do so . I will enjoy the civil war within the Democrat Party and those Bernie supporters will strike back at Hillary knowing they should have won the nomination as they were cheated and lied too by the DNC . All she is doing is making it worse for herself as she fails to see that its over and she simply is washed up and irrelevant as far as politics .

Not bad snrar. You seem to be the kind of people I’ve ’preached’ about to actually save this country. Many republicans/conservatives and libertarians hold ’their’ political party representatives feet to the fire. If & when they err on the side that suits them over the people, we (I’m Libertarian) let them know it. We’ll even either NOT vote at all or vote for a losing candidate (within reason) than for the slacker. Not so on the liberal front. Between the ideology of free stuff or the constant brain washing that any other party than them are out to poison water, their grandmothers and grandma’s dog, they will always vote liberal. Even when convicted or escaped any indictment at all, regardless of the facts and truth. You’re a rare gem in the democrat base. Hope you survive. Hyenas eat their own when crossed.

You know what Hillary? I didn’t want Donald Trump to be the president either, lots of people didn’t. He is our president now though and we should be supporting him, not blindly of course, we have to question our leaders to keep them in check. At least stop the excuses, the denigrating, and the whining about impeachment. I didn’t want a Trump presidency, I wouldn’t go so far as to say that I was horrified though. You want to know what I found horrifying? A Clinton presidency! I am not exaggerating either, I was terrified just thinking about it! I was truly in doubt about whether or not the country would survive it.

A book on why she lost the election and trying to pin it on everything but herself??? Who would want to read that book? Really?? Just curious…. Does she mention anything at all in there about the 33,000 deleted emails? Or the way her own party was caught sabotaging poor Bernie’s campaign? Any of that mentioned?

What kind of president could she have been when she allowed Obama to put her in a straight jacket? Would she then allow Putin and Merkel to put her in a straight jacket? Would she stand up to them or step up for measurements for her new straight jacket? Judging from her history we all know the answer to that.

This is just fine with me. As long as the progressives continue with their self-colonoscopy the least likely they are to notice the giggle fits their basket of deplorables are having over it all. For sure no one told them they needed to clean out he stinky stuff before they stuck their collective heads up there.

So Hill you’re saying that neither one of you should be in the White House?

It’s hilarious how dems always try to take credit for the balanced budget under Clinton. He fought Newt for over a year in the press and went down kicking and screaming, until finally being FORCED to support it, for no other reason than Newt’s persistence and unyielding demands. If it had been left to Clinton, he would have done nothing of the sort. Silly libs, financial common sense is for Conservatives.
