(1,089 posts)as this is already, as you said, a treasure trove of material to use in the GE in addition to the DECADES of garbage they're going to throw at her for months on a daily or even hourly basis. Even if nothing else happens, the stage has been set.
That's why I sorta laugh when I see HRC, one of her mucky mucks with the campaign or some of her more ardent supporters complaining about how 'nasty' the SBS campaign has been. They can't be serious. His campaign is literally going to seem like a spa day compared to the pack of jackals that will be tearing away at her entire candidacy in an absolutely relentless, shameless and in some ways reckless manner. It's going to be so, so ugly. They haven't seen anything yet.
That's one of the things that I actually appreciated about the HRC campaign in 08. It was dirty enough that when Obama moved into the GE dealing with the scummy repuke machine wasn't that big of a shock. HRC supporters, if they really think SBS has been 'mean' in the primary, are in for an astounding shock in a few months when all these years of hate towards the Clintons is unleashed with a fury.
