You gutter campaign is busted. You tried to portray Bernie as a hypocrite. YOU FAILED.
Now you want to pivot and turn this into a discussion about whether Bernie will take "establishment" PAC support IF he gets the nomination ("Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, we got ol' Bernie now. If he says 'I won't accept their support,' we'll say 'HA! Bernie is going to take on the Koch Brothers with a cap gun. We told you he was unelectable' If he says, 'I will accept their help' we'll say 'HA, we TOLD you Bernie was just like Hillary'" -- wink, wink, sweep MILLIONS of dollars of speaking fees from the .1%ers under the rug).
It's all semantic BS.
It's a campaign based 100% on character assassination.
It's 2008 all over again.
Trot out Hillary's platform. Tell us how she will get any of it passed through a TeaOP HOR. Most of all, TELL US HOW ANY OF IT MORE REFLECTS THE VALUES OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY THAN WHAT BERNIE HAS PROPOSED.
If you can't, be honest enough to say, "YES, we are running as Republican-lite because we believe that a majority of American do not share the values of FDR and we only care about winning the GE"
