20. The Sanders people didn't put Trump into power.

The things Trump attacked HRC about would have been just as potent if Bernie hadn't run.

We weren't to blame for the emails and we weren't to blame for the administration refusing to let HRC put a "No TPP" pledge in the platform.

Nor were we to blame for the Clinton-Kaine campaign not having enough canvassers in WI, MI, and PA(as the campaign organizations in those states kept saying to the national HQ, when they begged for more resources and were repeatedly refused).
