campaigning, which has already happened, Social Media is a powerful tool to take fast action to take it on, unlike eg, when Dean was attacked on the MSM.

I saw it on Social Media after McCaskill's unfortunate negative campaign attempt. She was eviscerated all over Social Media, exposed as a 'negative campaigner for Hillary' which only emphasized Bernie's 'above the fray' campaign style.

If anything, her attacks on Bernie had the opposite effect, it PROVED that this is what they do, that they don't talk about issues, they just attack. And people are sick and tired of it.

So let them keep doing it. We have a way now to USE it to Bernie's advantage and cause it to backfire on their candidates.
