12. She was there in her capacity as DNC CHAIR, not as a candidate.

Do I have to repeat that more than three times?

And if you need a definition of "throw down" (Nooooo...it doesn't mean "physical assault" in most instances, but you knew that, I should hope) then you should buy a dictionary. Or try that Google thing.

Is it appropriate for her to go to his classroom while he's lecturing his students, and berate him?

Of course it isn't.

There's a time, and a place, and that wasn't the time nor the place.

There are better ways to "call out" an opponent than engaging in those kinds of cheap shots. He looks like a bully pulling those kinds of "spell my name right in the paper" stunts.

Paul Tsongas (for whom he worked eons ago) would not have approved, of that I am certain.

Your last paragraph is just rife with inaccuracy to the point that it can be called utter fiction.

You don't throw money down the toilet fighting entrenched and popular incumbents who don't even have to spend more than the cost of a few mailers to keep their seats when that Democratic money can be spent to flip winnable districts. It's not being "mean"--it's being practical when you have limited resources.

Supporting people who are doomed to fail with vast resources that are not easily raised (look how many of you snarkily criticized Clinton for raising all that downticket money quite recently) is a WASTE--it's not "supportive," it's STUPID.

You put that national money into seats we can win.

That's Politics 101.
