‘It’s so phony’: Insider account of Clinton campaign says Bernie Sanders refused to use ‘I’m with her’ slogan


Although Hillary Clinton may have had one of the most ubiquitous campaign slogans of recent years – “I’m with her” – not everyone’s enthusiasm for the words were heartfelt. “I don’t want to say that.”As it turns out, the ad was never used because Clinton staffers felt Sanders was further promoting his own persona rather than reading lines as a Clinton supporter. Sanders wasn’t alone in his opinion of the Clinton slogan. Even former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau was opposed to it, and much of the way Clinton ran her campaign. “POTUS doesn’t think it’s wise to drag this out,” White House political director David Simas was reported as saying to Robby Mook, Clinton’s campaign manager.
