        You've tweeted this approximately 6 times today. Congratulations on discovering that I sent some dismissive tweets re: Sanders in 2014.

        My 2014 belief, "I'm skeptical that Sanders can mount an effective Dem primary campaign," was later revised upon new evidence. Shocker.

        I thought the notion that he could wage a winning Democratic primary campaign against Hillary Clinton was a joke. Thanks for inquiring.

        2014 I didn't think that new parties could fare well against the Spanish traditional stablishment ones. Now, we have Podemos. Why not in US?

        I first knew about Sanders from Thom Hartmann's show. I also didn't anticipate he'd become this huge later on.

        The point was that a Republican would win against Hillary... which is what happened. Trump wasn't a candidate in October 2014.

        I never "hated" Bernie. I was dismissive of his potential as a presidential candidate in a handful of tweets in the fall of 2014.

        You're right, despite advocating for Bernie Sanders' candidacy on countless occasions, and voting for him, I didn't really support him.
