Honestly I'm convinced that this hit job is ultimately what prevented the campaign from going forward. It took up unnecessary time during that debate where he should've been differentiating himself with Biden.
Still remember when the prevailing thought was "Whoever comes out of Iowa and NH on top will be the one who stays in the race for progressives coalesce behind". Instead she did the exact opposite and hit Bernie with probably the worst attacks he got all primary, all while Biden was dead in the water. He barely edged out fucking Klobuchar in Iowa for fucks sake.
