The Polls didn't show that:

Further, Had Bernie cost Hillary the election her numbers would have been in the gutter from the time of the convention all the way to Election day with her never being able to catch up to Trump.

That is not how things went down and coming out of the convention Hillary's numbers were at a high.

FURTHERMORE, Bernie brought a greater percentage of his voters out to vote for Clinton than Clinton did for Obama in 2008. This is a straight up fact.

ONE THING AND ONE THING ONLY SUNK HILLARY: JAMES COMNEY.

All the evidence bares this out. It is REVISIONIST History by Bernie haters to claim Bernie cost Hillary the election.

AGAIN BERNIE DID NOT COST HILLARY THE ELECTION!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
