Thank You, Bernie - green - 08-29-2016 03:50 PM http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/293638-clinton-confidante-sanders-did-significant-damage Longtime Hillary Clinton confidante Neera Tanden in a new podcast commends Bernie Sanders for the issues he raised during his campaign but notes his attacks on the Democratic presidential nominee were harmful. “I actually have to say, I think he brought a lot of really important issues to the floor, but Senator Sanders was prosecuting a much tougher character attack” than Barack Obama did in 2008, Tanden said during Politico’s “Off Message” podcast. “He did do significant damage to Hillary's negatives." "I mean, just to be candid — or honest about it, I think getting those kinds of attacks from another Democrat or another liberal or another progressive is much tougher for Hillary," said Tanden, who is the president of the liberal think tank Center for American Progress. "If you look at her trust numbers the last six months of that primary ... those numbers took a much sharper dive and [were] hard to recover from.” -- the hill OLD MAN EYEBROWS
