I'm thrilled! The scorched-earth tactics from her opponent were disappointing. As a result, I think it would probably be best if he just politely accepts defeat, gives a perfunctory endorsement, then goes into hiding and remains silent for the duration.

If he makes ANY public appearances or gives ANY interviews, the false "laundering" accusations will continue to be brought up. This is the type of thing where he's given the GOP a way to make the same false accusations. His continue presence will just be a reminder.

All I'm saying is that I've seen this type of thing happen before (and that's all I'm going to say about that.)
