"Politics is the business of getting voters to like you. The problem is, most Washington politicians are inherently unlikeable. This is one reason the subject rarely came up until Donald Trump was elected president.
"Now the question of likeability is all that Trump-crazed Democrats talk about—except when they’re talking about each other. That’s why it’s news when one Democratic politician calls another one unlikeable.
"It’s especially newsworthy when the former happens to be ex-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, whose personal un-likeability is legendary, and the latter is Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), an equally annoying old-time Bolshie, who fought Clinton for the Democratic nomination four years ago, got screwed over by the party, and now not only is running again—he’s in the lead.
"Clinton made her observation about Sanders in a new four-hour “docu-series,” entitled “Hillary.” The carefully crafted piece of long-form PR is scheduled to premiere on Hulu March 6, the week of Super Tuesday and the weekend of International Women’s Day (a.k.a. Communist Valentine’s Day) March 8.
"At one point in the film Hillary is asked what she thinks of Bernie, who probably would have beaten her in 2016 if the Democratic National Committee hadn’t rigged the system.
“ '[Sanders] was in Congress for years,” Clinton says. “He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him . . . .”
"When the comment went viral, Sanders had a comeback worthy of Rodney Dangerfield: “On a good day, my wife likes me.”
"Bernie is a well-known pain in the ass. But look at Hillary. Outside a small circle of paid lackeys, who actually likes her? Or, put another way, after the four decades she’s been in the public eye, who could?
"In the trailer for her new movie, Bill Clinton comes off as tellingly tentative on the subject. While they were dating, he says, he told Hillary, “I really want to marry you, but you shouldn’t marry me.' ” . . .
Could the Hillary-Bernie feud, now entering its final phase, be responsible for everything the Democratic Party has put the country through for the last four years? We may soon find out.
