The principals of the Sanders and Clinton campaigns have so far avoided public spats, but it is no secret that tensions linger behind the scenes. The blame game is being played out among rank-and-file supporters on social media, while high-profile backers also let jabs fly.
The idea that Sanders bears any blame for Clinton's loss is "b------t," according to progressive commentator Bill Press, who is also a columnist for The Hill.
"Democrats - particularly the Clinton people - have to stop blaming everybody else for their loss," Press continued. "The idea that they are going to blame it on Bernie, or blame it on [FBI director James] Comey, or blame it on the Russians... The other two [excluding Sanders] were factors but it doesn't take away from the big picture that they lost an election they never should have lost."
