20. Oh, I see, you have an issue with candidates vetting each other.

But, why the sly aspersions?

Why not just say the Sanders Campaign strategy does not seem to be working?

When you don't deign to identify the people or campaign you are taking issue with, it just comes across with an "us against THOSE people" vibe.

Also, it would help to tell us which SPECFIC statement, clip, or tweet you are taking issue with, that way we could all judge for ourselves their accuracy and validity. Blanket statements like about "those anti-Biden clips" by an un-named "campaign" makes it seem that you are disagreeing with any and all criticism of your candidate.

Again, personally, I think this schtick of making broad innuendos about another "campaign" will just serve to alienate our fellow democrats that currently support that "campaign". Instead, if you are specific and state things like "Sanders is wrong on this issue", or "Sanders statement is not accurate", you would have a much better chance of converting Sander's supporters to your candidate.

Cheers

primary today, I would vote for:
