Sanders should stop attacking Clinton--but use his time push his agenda
I really think that using his time to push his agenda is a good thing.

By Brent Budowsky, columnist, The Hill
Few national columnists in the mainstream media have been more fair and friendly to Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.), his campaign, and the progressive populist agenda he proposes (most of which I agree with and hope Democrats will adopt), than me.
At the same time, the presidential campaign has reached a crucial stage and there is growing unease in many Democratic circles — this includes a growing number of progressives, such as me — that Sanders is close to reaching a line he does not want to cross, which would help presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump and hurt progressives running for the House and Senate in the general election.
The Hill recently published a story, which is correct, that includes a number of progressives who are concerned that Sanders may be going too far in criticizing Clinton. I hope that Sanders and his campaign staff, who are aware of my views, take this to heart.
..........What would not make sense, and what would be destructive to Democrats and progressives and helpful to Trump and right-wing Republicans in the House and Senate, would be to attack Clinton in ways that divide Democrats and help Republicans.
...........................
What I would strongly propose is that Sanders and his campaign should end attacks against Clinton, which are not necessary to champion his causes and which could become bitterly divisive for Democrats and which could help Trump and Republicans defeat liberal candidates in November................
