Meh they could have done better. But, Bernie was the target of an insane smear campaign from the moment he decided to run Democrat. The old guard, has no intention of letting their fuck up with Obama happen again. They were hell bent on Hillary getting the nomination.

I kinda doubt they dislike Obama very much at this point.

Bernie was more like what Obama vaguely billed himself as, but when you look past the rhetoric a bit Obama is probably to the right of Hillary.

I suspect it was more big money that didn't want Bernie winning, as he was more of a threat of systemic change than Trump, Clinton, or Biden.
