2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI can't honestly see a reason why Hillary would need to
attack Sanders. Biden isn't even running and his support is equal to Sanders. I don't think he will run and his support comes at the expense of Hillary. Without polls giving Biden a chunk of her support she is over 50% and will continue to lead as she has done since the beginning of the campaign.
Sanders support has been around 25% for months. I think he has peaked.
Hillary gets nothing but negative press. That isn't because the MSM thinks Bernie should be President. It is because they want a horse race with whom ever is driving the clown car. There is no horse race between Bernie and Hillary which is the reason she doesn't need to nor will she attack him.

Unless people have to deal with some of his supporters, then who knows.

(12,754 posts)It's just what the Clintons do. They can't help themselves. They go dirty when they don't have to. Just as they can't stop giving people reasons to investigate them. It's almost a self-sabotage thing.

(39,961 posts)BUT, his potential decision to run is a trial balloon being floated up in the event that Hillary's campaign runs into serious problems, because they have to make sure that somebody like Sanders or O'Malley, i.e. a non-establishment candidate doesn't get the nomination.
That isn't even cynicism - that's plain reality.

(3,431 posts)because he does not attack her either.
Since she is going to win anyway, in your
opinion, the surrogates, especially the
ones showing their racist tendencies,
can stop attacking as well.
