Not only that he would never get the Democratic vote he would need to win the GE.

On the issue of whether some of Sanders’ attacks are sexist, Fallon said, “he knows what he’s doing when he does these little hip checks.”

Senator Sanders (I-VT) doesn't have to go negative - his 'minions' got it covered!

But it still isn't stopping him from making nefarious insinuations of Hillary's character - and tonight, she called him out on it.

Being called corrupt by insinuation is a sneaky way of negative personal attack. She had enough.

I'm sure it won't end on his part.

Brian Fallon:

“Senator Sanders is a very skilled and deft politician despite efforts to hone and cultivate an image to the contrary, and he knows what he is doing when he does these little hip checks," Fallon said. "He’s injecting something into a conversation and trying to inspire three- or four-day conversation that he knows would be bothersome. You all know what he’s doing, and he does it very skillfully, and artfully. But there’s an intent there that is diminishing and is demeaning and is cutting.”

Campaign manager Robby Mook and national press secretary Brian Fallon accused Sanders of attacking Clinton by using “demeaning and insulting language,” in Fallon’s words. They also said the candidate should be wary about letting even more loaded language emerge in his campaign’s attacks...

"Hell no. Hillary Clinton will not be apologizing to Donald Trump for correctly pointing out how his hateful rhetoric only helps ISIS recruit more terrorists," Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon said Monday afternoon."

....seriously, he does, and it's one of the things my husband really likes about him.

But the Bernie Bros are dividing the Party and are going to seriously harm Bernie in trying to eviscerate Hillary. They are bad news for us all.

Saw YouTube video of him with Michelle Bachman, and he would not interrupt and he would not attack. He made Bachmann seem rational!

The question then becomes, is he a master politician deep in "the game" - as the Clinton team is postulating - or has he lost control of his campaign and it now does not reflect his true values and principles? Has it become bigger than him?

Or - does it just "appear" to be bigger than him, giving him cover for the "artful smear"?
