In reply to the discussion: Clinton: I Urged 08 Supporters to Back Obama, Didnt Get That Respect from Sanders [View all]R B Garr
(17,082 posts)277. Okay. I did see the post you responded to, and "more supporters" wasn't the crux of it.
It was more about the behavior itself (edit, not just microphone interviews). It's quoted below. But maybe you picked up on some nuance in it that I didn't see.
"Mmmm, as I recall he and his people were going on TV saying
they wanted the supers to overturn the results, at the convention...in my book, that's not really support. I also recall his supporters at the convention booing and trying to yell down every POC and woman who gave a speech...not real support also. There is a huge difference between what Hillary did for Obama and what bernie did for Hillary. "
