A compilation of oppo research on Bernie Sanders

101. I really wish that Hillary Clinton had not taken a kid gloves approach with sanders

The memorandum in the OP is oppo that the Clinton campaign gathered and had available to use against sanders in 2016. The Clinton campaign treated sanders with kid gloves because sanders had no chance in the real world of being the nominee. The press did not vet sanders because sanders was such a weak candidate and it would have been a waste of their time Sanders was not vetted and was in fact treated with kid gloves by the Clinton campaign VOX had a good article on the potential lines of attack that sanders would be exposed to if sanders was the nominee. http://www.vox.com/2016/2/3/10903404/gop-campaign-against-sanders One of the more interesting observations in the VOX analysis is the fact that Sanders have been treated with kids gloves compared to what Sanders would face if he was the Democratic nominee. I strongly agree with the VOX's position that the so-called negative attacks against Sander have been mild. Form the article:

I have no interest in litigating any of these attacks here. Like any Democrat elected president in 2016, Sanders wouldn't be able to get much done, but he would block attempts to roll back Obama's accomplishments and have a chance to fill a few Supreme Court vacancies.

When Sanders supporters discuss these attacks, though, they do so in tones of barely contained outrage, as though it is simply disgusting what they have to put up with. Questioning the practical achievability of single-payer health care. Impugning the broad electoral appeal of socialism. Is nothing sacred?

But c'mon. This stuff is patty-cakes compared with the brutalization he would face at the hands of the right in a general election.

His supporters would need to recalibrate their umbrage-o-meters in a serious way.

sanders was treated with kid gloves by the Clinton campaign because of the amusing over-reactions of the sanders supporters in the primary process.

After being a delegate to the National Convention and seeing sanders and his supporters close up, I really wish now that Hillary had used this oppo earlier.

As noted above, the memorandum in the OP is only the oppo gathered by the Clinton campaign n 2016. trump has a great deal more that would be available to be used if sanders is the nominee
