I am so sick of the artful smears

[boston bean]

coming from one candidate. Intimating a rival is corrupt.

That is toxic. It is really pissing me off.

[DanTex]

1. Actually, this has been pretty mild so far. No heavy attacks from candidates on each other.

Compared to 2008, so far at least, this is a lovefest. Whether it stays that way is another question. I hope it does, we need unity against Trump.

[mopinko]

12. his spokesman just called mayor pete corrupt on my teevee. based on nothing.

[Scurrilous]

2. But the purity.

So pure.

[R B Garr]

3. Amen, it is beyond vile. They are not even artful

anymore. Just nasty smears.

[spooky3]

4. I'm with you. Nt

[George II]

5. Not just one rival - at least two, maybe even three.

[scheming daemons]

6. And it is always the same candidate and his surrogates

Always.

[NurseJackie]

7. It's sickening! I'm fed up with this shit.

Intimating a rival is corrupt.

And frequently there have been blunt statements that the ENTIRE Democratic party is "corrupt" and "feeble" and "the party of the one-percent" and "no different from the GOP".

It's sickening! I'm fed up with this shit.

8. The smears are not artful. This is gutter politics that will hurt our party.

9. Come on now, you know said person is purer than the driven snow / sarcasm

[Baclava]

10. Politics is a bare knuckle brawl business, always has been, camp fire sing alongs, its not

And primaries are a mosquito fart in a hurricane compared to what its going to take to win the GE

[boston bean]

11. Democrats in this race are not corrupt. Trump say they are. We don't need someone on our side

Mimicking trumps talking points.

It is toxic. It is toxic to our party.

[Baclava]

13. Lots of gut punches going on, shrug it off, nice guys finish last, Bernie is a fighter, who knew

[boston bean]

14. Baloney.

This isn’t fighting. This is smearing with falsehoods.

Have had enough of that with you know who (Trump).

[Baclava]

15. Its only the first week of the primaries! Wait a month, then the gloves will REALLY come off

gonna be a bloodbath, I think

[boston bean]

16. Democrats don't accuse other Dems they are running against of being corrupt.

It is bullshit.

I’ve had enough of it

It is a lie. It is toxic to our party. Not just the person he is smearing with these lies.

[Baclava]

17. You gotta remember this is the last dance for these old men, they will hold nothing back

Liz is a fighter, I still like her chances, 51% of the country is women voters, Dream Big!

[boston bean]

22. I remember the lies and the harm done by them.

[Progressive dog]

18. Since there are no consequences for that behavior

it's guaranteed to continue.

[aikoaiko]

19. what was said?

[William769]

20. He's running scared and it's only after Iowa

Where he couldn't even be the boy wonder.

[Cha]

21. You are Not alone, bean
