80. I wish your post were satire. Unfortunately, it's merely an exaggeration, and a mild one at that.

If Clinton herself were ever to visit our little DU playpen, I suspect that her reaction would be to ask her supporters to tone it down a little. She would recognize, even if they do not, that whoever wins the nomination will want the votes and the active support of as many people as possible, and that repeated personal attacks are NOT the way to bring that about.
