    She lost to trump because he maneuvered to the left of her

    Nobody voted for Trump because he was “more left than Hillary”. That’s not why anyone voted for him.

      i believe what he meant was that “trump won despite being on left of hillary” which goes against the dnc propaganda at that time that sanders was not electable because america will never vote for leftist views. add that hillary was stupid (or corrupt) enough to not give anything to her voter base while trump did. shows how out of touch dnc had become.
