What kind of strategy is it to keep attacking Bernie supporters? It seems to be the

[jillan]

new strategy of the Clinton campaign. They've given up on going after Bernie, so now they are going after us.

I've seen it from her, from Bill, from Ed Rendell, Barbara Boxer told us to get out of the campaign, now the msm is attacking us too & the cherry on the top came last nite from Debbie.

Bernie condemned the violence. As do the majority of Bernie supporters.

But hey. If you want to continue to insult us and tell us you don't want our votes, keep it up.
We hear you loud and clear.

1. I have not seen her camp do one smart thing yet. its just getting worse

[doc03]

2. You know if you think everyone is attacking you perhaps you are wrong.

We hear enough whining from Trump every time anyone says anything against him.

3. Her go-to strategy is to "bring them to heel." [n/t]

[Merryland]

4. They are ignorant,

blind, slippery and outnumbered.

5. Setting up the pre-emptive blame in case November brings a loss.

It's an old game--around here people used to always blame hippies and The Gays when we had a disappointing midterm election or whatever.

Now that open homophobia is slightly frowned upon around here, it's the hippies who are the standard whipping boy.

7. Such a good point. Because I'm sure we're harming her so much more than tRump will.

11. It would never have occurred to Trump to attack her

if Bernie hadn't done it first.

Uh huh. Whatever.

6. Clinton's goal is to discredit the progressive movement and lurch the Dems more to the right.

This can only be accomplished, if at all, by continuing to attack Sanders and his supporters.

She is NOT on our side.

[AzDar]

8. They suck at this... she went HORRIBLY negative on PBO in '08. You'd think they'd LEARN from that..

[reformist2]

9. The purpose is to eventually disqualify Bernie, and block his delegates from the convention.

The optics of having a convention full of people booing Hillary at her own coronation, that is something they cannot deal with.

And so, as damaging to her credibility as it may be, it still might be better for Camp Hillary to expel all the Bernie Sanders delegates in order to have the serene coronation they had planned on all along.

10. better to focus on people who will actually vote for her instead of bernie people on DU nt

[jillan]

14. So in other words Hillary supporters are STILL PUMAS?

Party Unity My Ass.

Makes perfect sense now. Thank you for clearing it up.

[jpmonk91]

12. Yes

Its been thier strategy for some time

[yodermon]

13. They don't like the way the river is flowing. So they decide to yell at

the individual water molecules instead of just going with the flow (with a tack to the right). It's mystifying.

[One Black Sheep]

15. No idea, but its a losing strategy if there ever was one. It might be a sign of the entitlement and

arrogance of her campaign, as if she just expects people to fall in line, as if she was some kind of royalty, like a Queen...Hillary will need every Bernie voter she can get, so this is a losing strategy. If she loses against Trump, this will be a major reason why, and all the blame should go on Hillary, and her campaign, for not uniting the party and reaching out to Bernie and his supporters...

[Waiting For Everyman]

16. All of her problems are self-inflicted.

And she's setting herself up for the biggest one yet right now.

I think her downfall with be bigger than Bill's.

[Blue_Tires]

17. Tell your Berniebros to quit fucking around, then...

And maybe you won't be such ripe targets in the future...

He's what I don't get -- Berniebros called the party officials in Nevada "soft" because they couldn't take being insulted and shouted at...So doesn't that make you soft if attacks from the Clinton camp wound you so deeply??

And for the love of god please STOP with the "holding my vote for ransom" rhetoric... It's old, it's tired and it doesn't suit you.

[TheKentuckian]

20. Unity for this crowd has always and only been about having it with Republicans.

The "big tent" only is for conservatives and moderates they can keep a leash on even if they whine a bit as they are tugged along to the right, these folks aren't out recruiting commies.

In fact anyone left of global center right they flat out despise and think is nuts.

[asuhornets]

19. Hillary has not mentioned Sanders name in a month...that's why he is pissed-he wants attention...n/
