Consider the source.
Consider the author.

If the OP is holding up innuendo in this article from a non-partisan website and the same writer who played a part in attacking ACORN, then the OP either doesn't know the background of one or both of those entities. Either way, I'm astounding that the OP would put so much stock into a known right-leaning site. The OP has only to check the front page for RCP to see that the site promotes right wing causes, is focusing mostly on the Republican race, and attacks (and/or posts) questionable pieces that only denigrate Democratic candidates -- both Clinton and Sanders.

Did there not used to be a rule on this site about doing exactly what the OP is doing? To me this post is nothing more than concern trolling, and I'm sorry to see so many DUers falling for this sort of thing.
