Former Hillary Clinton aides and allies are scrutinizing Bernie Sanders' flaws and vulnerabilities — much as he once did to her
Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton formally made peace at a New Hampshire unity event in July 2016 where the two rivals sought to put the acrimonious Democratic primary behind them.
“I would say — and for all I know, the Sanders people might take this as a compliment — among a lot of the major donors in the party, there’s concern that he could emerge,” said David Brock, a longtime Clinton ally who founded a pro-Clinton super PAC in the 2016 campaign and later authored a public apology to Sanders for some of his bare-knuckled criticisms during the primary.
It’s a familiar grievance, one that many Clinton allies lodged against Sanders in 2016, when he refused to concede even after it appeared he had little mathematical chance of winning the party nomination. “It is not a secret that people who would hang out with David Brock would be putting their class interests ahead of the party and the country,” he said. “We have got to nominate somebody who is going to energize and excite the grassroots, not a handful of billionaires.”
