In the doc, you're brutally honest on Sanders: "He was in Congress for years. He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done. He was a career politician. It's all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it." That assessment still hold?
Yes, it does.
If he gets the nomination, will you endorse and campaign for him?
I'm not going to go there yet. We're still in a very vigorous primary season. I will say, however, that it's not only him, it's the culture around him. It's his leadership team. It's his prominent supporters. It's his online Bernie Bros and their relentless attacks on lots of his competitors, particularly the women. And I really hope people are paying attention to that because it should be worrisome that he has permitted this culture — not only permitted, [he] seems to really be very much supporting it. And I don't think we want to go down that road again where you campaign by insult and attack and maybe you try to get some distance from it, but you either don't know what your campaign and supporters are doing or you're just giving them a wink and you want them to go after Kamala [Harris] or after Elizabeth [Warren]. I think that that's a pattern that people should take into account when they make their decisions.

I despise Hillary with the intensity of a thousand burning suns, but also think she's mostly right on this one. Bernie, the culture surrounding him, his leadership team, prominent supporters, and online supporters are all disgusting.
Sounds good as a short-term strategy until you run somebody as unlikable as Hillary, at which point you have to rig the primary to prevent him from winning. This round it will be even worse.
Long-term seems incredibly stupid as its pulled the party to be basically nutjob left, and in the process of marginalizing Bernie you end up with quotes like the one above and this classic calling Bernie Bros sexists:
"I will say, however, that it's not only him, it's the culture around him. ... It's his online Bernie Bros and their relentless attacks on lots of his competitors, particularly the women."
Couldn't happen to a nicer group...
Even saw some hate for the FBI yesterday in regards to MLK.
