(15,370 posts)6. This ... per Bakari Sellers:
Back in May when Bernie Sanders launched his campaign for presidency, he said it wasn't going to be about Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders, it was going to be about the American people and we were going to have a substantive debate about issues.
The tenor of his campaign has changed. Whether or not it's surrogates or whether or not it's the candidate himself. And I think that Representative Barney Frank actually hit the nail on the head that it's these McCarthyite type attacks. That if you're going to challenge Hillary Clinton's character, if you're going to challenge her character and say that for somehow because these people are contributing to her that her character's going to be compromised, then show us over her two decades-plus of service where her character has been compromised and the campaign hasn't done that. They failed on that.
In fact, you know, we talk about the fossil fuel industry that Bernie Sanders has taken money from, Hillary Clinton, when she was secretary of state, laid the framework for this international compact to combat climate change.

I agree about the "McCarthyite attacks." But Sellers is much more optimistic than I right now that this scenario that he describes later on will happen when asked if he is "worried" that Bernie will ultimate hurt Hillary's candidacy.
No because -- and this may be my youthful naivety, but I believe that there will be a moment that Nina Turner and myself and Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton and Michelle and Barack Obama will stand on a stage together, unite the party. And we're not at that point yet but we will get to that point and then go out because we have a fight literally for the soul of this country versus Donald Trump or Ted Cruz.
I genuinely hope that Sellers is correct.

(4,640 posts)7. The transcript was mighty revealing
Because I take money in, and she takes money in from individuals. That's right, workers in an industry, nothing wrong with that.
And yet, she's taking "fossil fuel" money, while he is as well. The lies are starting to blow up in his face.
