But then the left over-interpreted the support for Bernie. Lots of mainstream Democrats (Barack Obama! Nancy Pelosi! A *majority of congressional democrats*) opposed the war. Rejecting the war didn’t require rejecting the whole aughts-vintage Democratic Party. — PolitiTweet.org

I think the fact that Bernie opposed the war and Hillary supported it plays a larger role in support for him in the 2016 primary than anyone wants to acknowledge. The establishment forgot how mad people were about this and that it’s why Obama beat her in the first place. — PolitiTweet.org

As for the war itself and political judgment — I assume George W Bush signed off on those invasion plans because he thought they would work out really well and reflect well on him. It wasn’t “oh we should do a huge fiasco and ruin the political dynasty forever.” — PolitiTweet.org
