HILLARY GROUP..NYT STUNNER: Bernie Considers His Campaign Strategy a ‘Character Assault’ on Hillary

STUNNER: NYT Reports that Bernie Considers His Campaign Strategy a ‘Character Assault’ on Hillary

http://bluenationreview.com/bernie-considers-his-campaign-strategy-a-character-assault-on-hillary/

By Melissa McEwan April 4, 2016

A New York Times story on why Bernie Sanders is losing to Hillary Clinton contains a major admission: Bernie’s ‘release the transcripts’ attack line is “the sort of character assault he has long opposed.

MORE..and its pathetic, but it is exactly what we all knew it to be.

lack of substance beyond rote talking points and are pushing back on him. He's finally being held modestly accountable, and even then he defaults to smearing Clinton.

The look of glee he gets on his face when he knows the crowd is going to applaud his smears is really getting exaggerated lately. His voice also gets more animated lately, too. His ego just loves the applause. Everyone clap for Bernie and his character assaults. That's what passes for "issues".

So sick of it. The shallowness is just astounding. Of course, Hillary has to treat him with kid gloves and can't reciprocate nearly on the same level. She's still winning, so that's the bottom line. Bernie has no integrity.

I never thought he was a bad guy, but this shows HIM to be very weak of character.

ahh the old "false equivalency" meme. Like the "low info voter meme"
No, what's been the obvious theme & purpose of bernies campIgn is just what the headline says.
Finally, bernie is being called out publicly for his campaign built on slander, "false equivalencies", and character assasination when so little of it held any truth at all.
Nothing about bernie sanders, at this point, is trustworthy, believable as he says it, nor qualifies him to e v e r hold the power of the Office of President of the USA.

About damn time he is revealed to be nothing but a hitchiker on the coattails of the strong, solid Dem Party.
And we have our true Dem Candidate.

than a hypocrite who sneers, insinuates, and hints, then claims the high road. I LOVED it when Hillary publicly said “If you’ve got something to say, say it directly.” She's getting sick of his slimy hypocrisy and I don't blame her.

They will probably be happy when he loses and slithers away.

For Sanders to be attacking Clinton personally when he has almost no chance of winning will be a sad bookmark to his campaign
