.... the unethical idiots on sander's team. There is no excuse for it and there is no moral equivication with anyone else's actions in this fiasco. The sooner you lose the defensiveness, the sooner you stop playing the victim, the sooner you stop trying to excuse the stupid, the better off all of us democrates will be.

In the debate, Sanders said: “Not only do I apologize to Secretary Clinton . . . I want to apologize to my supporters. This is not the type of campaign that we run.”

Clinton responded: “We were distressed when we learned of it . . . [but] we should move on because I don’t think the American people are all that interested in this. I think they’re more interested in what we have to say about all the big issues facing us.”

That should be the end of it.
