Why hasn't Hillary really attacked Bernie as the Republicans obviously will in the general election, she doesn't need to. She feels she can beat him without getting nasty and avoid ticking off many of his supporters. That's a smart strategy.
It really too bad that Bernie's supporters will never get a chance to see Sanders crushed by the Republican hit machine. They have enough ammunition to take him down without even lying about him, but lie they will. You already complain about "red baiting" on DU - LOL!!! - that's nothing compared to the Koch brothers and their friends spending $100's of millions on their red baiting efforts on every TV channel in the country.
Everyone who understands politics in this country knows that even Donald Trump will look like a good alternative after the Swift Boat team gets done with poor little Bernie.
If you don't understand that you know very little about politics or you are lying to yourself.
