(150,417 posts)We aren't even in primary season yet. That won't happen until next year. There is no candidate for President from either party.
I'm pretty sure that the best move at this point is to find a favorite candidate to run in the primaries and work like crazy to sing the praises of that candidate. While Hillary Clinton will probably be one of the primary candidates, beating up on her will do nothing to promote anyone else. If she runs, she'll be hard to beat, so the better approach would be to identify the primary candidate you like best and work to promote that candidate.
General negative campaigning is not going to change the outcome of the primaries. It's not going to do much toward determining who th eventual candidate for President will be, either. In fact, I can't see that it does much good for Democratic candidates in general.
You want to attack someone? Attack Republicans. Then, when a Democratic candidate is finally chosen, you'll have a good start on trashing whoever the opposing candidate will be. That's the real race, not this pre-primary stuff.
