Showing Original Post only (View all)Bernie’s Campaign Manager Throws a Bomb About Hillary and Young Voters [View all]
http://bluenationreview.com/bernies-campaign-manager-throws-a-bomb-about-hillary-and-young-voters/ As we explained, the NYT article is peppered with concessions that Bernie has, indeed, gone negativebut it is this paragraph that contains a stunning admission about his own view of his 2016 strategy:
Mr. Sanderss advisers urged him to challenge Mrs. Clinton over accepting $675,000 from Goldman Sachs for delivering three speeches, according to two Sanders advisers. Mr. Sanders, hunched over a U-shaped conference table, rejected it as a personal attack on Mrs. Clintons income the sort of character assault he has long opposed. She has the right to make money, he offered.
Let that sink in.
Bernie Sanders, according to the New York Times, agrees with what weve been saying for months: His Wall Street dog whistle is a direct assault on Hillarys integrity.
So when he insinuates that she is not trustworthy to the Daily News and then pretends it isnt a character attack, he is being disingenuous to be charitable.
Bernie is not alone of course. His campaign and surrogates are out there blasting away at Hillary and her endorsers, even when those endorsers are civil rights heroes.
And now we have this cheap shot from Jeff Weaver:
"I'm not so confident about that." Jeff Weaver on whether Bernie's young supporters would come out for Hillary.

You'd think. The only surrogate that hasn't totally screwed things up was that damn bird.
