Now think about this: If your candidate's only shot at the nomination is the destruction of his opponent, it means you know he can't win on his own merits.
There have been many posts here in the past few days that highlight BS's problems in most of the remaining primary states, where HRC is far ahead in the polls.

When you're down to frantically searching in every corner, hoping to find something - anything - that would potentially ruin your candidate's opponent, you're pretty much admitting that it's your candidate's only hope.
