Hillary Clinton

(15,688 posts)vote for Bernie, of course. His campaign not only represents double standards but outright lies when its sends out false emails (or a la Henry II towards Thomas a Becket - encourages and allows such to be sent) specifically to deter Hillary's supporters for attending the meeting.
It used to be that the GOP or GOP operatives were the only ones who did this to each other. For example, all previous precedents involve GOP candidates and their primary opponents. And it used to be only GOP operatives who did this to Dems, aka Nixon's dirty tricks squad against McGovern, etc.
But now, for the first time in recent years in a Dem primary, the long-time Dem candidate and front-runner is subjected to dirty tricks and outright lies from her primary opponent who finds himself in a losing position. That he then presents himself as purer than thou instead of as the politician who will do anything to be elected that he so clearly has shown himself to be shows exactly how much scorn for the electorate he has, IMO.
If nothing else, this shows how much the "Convenient Candidate" despises the Dem party, its leadership, and everything that Dems stand for, which is not so much a surprise as a very deep disappointment.
Sanders has finally lost ALL credibility with me. IMO, he has absolutely no class left and even the low road has fully eroded around him. I'm completely done with him now.
