not embarrassed.

It's what I loved about - then - Senator Obama and what I miss in Sanders. Senator Obama asked of us to be respectful in our interactions with supporters of other candidates. He believes in the 'honey and vinegar' strategy.

Sanders had made an attempt but not with heart, resulting in the outrageous behavior by his supporters which makes it easy for GOP operatives to hide their minions among the crowd and attack Hillary Clinton - and getting away with it.

President Obama, in his wisdom, foresaw this and ensured that no GOP shills could hide behind support for him to lash out at the other Democratic candidates - specifically the GOP's No. 1 enemy: Clinton.

Taunting fellow Democrats re: their choice of nominee. Wow...nt MadDAsHell Feb 2016 #1
