He treated her with kid gloves. My god, can you seriously argue that he was more critical of her than she was of Obama in 2008? She and her husband said outright racist things, at one point she said that she and McCain were qualified while all Obama had was a speech. Give me a break. You think what he did was "negative"? Have fun with Trump and the Republicans, if she actually limps into office.

By the way, he didn't "go negative" any damn way. Her being corrupt IS negative. Her being hawkish IS negative. Her backing her husband's right wing economic policies WERE negative, and she hasn't even hinted that she believes in another economic model. Negative is getting personal, doing what Trump does by bringing up Foster and Lewinsky. The things he pointed out about her should be critiqued by the damn left, yet her supporters have been providing cover for those things, and look where the party is as a result.

Whatever, I won't bother responding again to you. People like yourself are the reason that independents are such a large and growing percentage of the public.
