Operation Backfire

Looking for a little help in compiling and maintaining a full list of the ways in which the Clinton camp's panicked detour onto the low road post-Wisconsin is benefiting Sanders instead.

So far we have:

- Starting the "qualified" tiff in which she fared the poorer
- Subway fiasco (both card swipe fail and lawbreaking) attempting to capitalize on Bernie's token mistake
- Bill's re-descent into blowing dog whistles to white audiences
- Trying to out-New Yorker someone who was born in Brooklyn
- (unfolding) attacking Sanders for paying respect to Catholics by visiting the Vatican

- (smiley) Blaming Sanders for Sandy Hook



If you can help me document Operation Backfire for historical purposes I would be delighted.

.. of the smears and attacks showing the truth.

Even as a slideshow.

It's amazing how these things can go viral.

It could sway the NY primary.

Seems it was a couple of months ago?

It's specifically the post-Wisconsin panic I'm trying to track here so I'll have to leave that one out, but the input is appreciated nonetheless!
