Obama and Clinton were deeply bitter to each other in 2008. Bernie was a kitten in 2016. He’s perceived of as negative though because he’s not corrupt. The dirty cops inherently hate the clean one.

So true. Reminds me of the piece that Lance Mannion wrote that said that Bernie was not fit to lead because he was not corrupt, didn’t have cozy relationships with lobbyists and the like. That is some bonkers centrist “logic” right there. Centrism: when you’ve given up all honesty and integrity and are just waiting to die.
