I haven't seen anything like that, thank goodness. I do believe, to my everlasting disgust, that Trump is going to be the next president, even though none of my friends or family or face book friends will be voting for him. Most of those people will cast a vote for Clinton as an emergency vote against Trump, no matter how tall the manure pile in front of the ballot box is.
I have seen a few things on FB about the email scandal; I think that this is such incredible ammunition for Republicans, (see #1) that we're going to crash and burn in November. It's pretty natural for Sanders supporters who saw this coming to be frustrated about nominating such a weak candidate. Democrats don't all have the same perspective. Some immediately swing into damage control mode, determined to deny, distract, deny, distract...while others just get angrier at the ammunition the party has been determined to provide the enemy. For the record: I think Trump is going to win. I am very, very angry about that. And the bulk of my anger is reserved for those who set it up.
I remember when I was fighting to avoid this inevitable outcome, by opposing the "inevitable" nominee. I've been told repeatedly not to fight the inevitable. Now you, and many others, are worrying about inevitability, and looking for scapegoats to vent about. What goes around comes around.
I am, instead of trying to do damage control for the train wreck that's already derailed the presidential campaign, and looking around for someone else to blame, moving on. I'm looking at what can be accomplished now, down ticket, on the platform, and further out. I'm looking at what can be done to provide a strong opposition to a Trump administration; we sure as hell need a stronger force than we had opposing GWB.
A month or two back, some here kept trying to tell me that I was grieving, that I hadn't moved on, etc., etc.. They were wrong. I've moved forward and am looking at what CAN be done. Some accused me of living in "fantasy land." Not so. I'm a hell of a lot more realistic about the current mess than many of those that were accusing me.
Perhaps this presents a learning opportunity: in the heat of a campaign, don't blind and deafen yourself to legitimate opposition in the fervor to "win." There are short-term wins, and long-term losses.
