19. He should do what he wants....
Tue Feb 2, 2016, 04:51 PM
Feb 2016

If he wants to attempt to have Hillary further denigrated by by generating among his supporters, more of the name calling, that's sad. If he claims to be working under the DNC's apparatus, then considering that this was so close, than it shouldn't matter to the extent of distracting the goal of the Democrats, as this was only the first primary.

It is understood that the Sanders campaign need something further to try and turn off as many voters, especially minority voters as possible from Hillary, I get it. But winning on the issues is what they should want, without one of those issues being Hillary Clinton's character, as when they do this, they are only helping Rubio become the next President. In-party squabbling never looks leader-like, and fanning the fire is a part of that. We all should be mindful that these are the primaries, not the general election.

The media is also pushing the meme....because in the end, they are Corporate stooges, including MSNBC, who have gotten quite bold at stirring the shit. They know liberals watch their Corporate channel more than the rest, which is why they show Clinton with the box checked as the winner as often as possible. They want the two sides to infight to a point that the party will be split up, and the Republican will win. It is that simple, and the question is who will take the bait, and who will take the high road? I am hoping both spit the bait out to say no thanks, and get back to the issues, rather than attempting at the politics of destruction, which neither side should be engaging in......as we are supposed to be in the same party.
