This isn ' t a criminal gag order . This NDA is under civil law . It can ' t be used to keep classified data secret . There is a different process for that . <| sep |> Because Bernie wasn ' t conceding . If you look at the opposite end of the spectrum , Ted Cruz conceded in early May when the Republican primary was far from over and it looked like he still had a shot . You didn ' t hear a peep about # NeverTrump after that . By swallowing his pride and dropping out , Cruz probably won Trump the election . Bernie is the first candidate in presidential primary history to lose by a significant margin yet keep campaigning all the way to the end of the primaries . That decision of his , to campaign two months longer than anyone else would have , probably did enough by itself to cost her the election . I will never forgive him for that .
