Clinton's surrogates and supporters are unable to criticize Bernie

on his policies so instead they try to besmirch his character. Today it was "he treats his wife badly," "he's been seen at a fancy fundraiser" and now "he's a millionaire" The attempts at character assassination are repugnant and say more about those who are making these accusations than it says about Bernie.

That makes me feel better about her. In fact, their arrogance and snottiness has lowered her in my esteem.

Clinton supporters seem to be celebrity fans. I don't get it It is all about gossip and stupid stuff. Get over it, folks. Regardless of who wins, get over the trashing mentality.

... they have nothing in his past or present to call out, so Hillary calls him out for these non-existent controversies.
If Hillary's opposition research had found anything major, they would have released it already. The problem is that Sanders is a sincere politician with a consistent record, not a power grabbing flip flopper theu are used too.

I mean, they are having a meltdown over a bird. And a 3 state sweep they can't explain without saying "Those are white states!"

It's really a bad time to be in Team Hill. I'm sure "restructuring" is coming.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

No comments added by alerter

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Mar 28, 2016, 11:15 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Alerter can't even come up with reasons to hide. That is because there are no reasons. Ridiculous partisan alert.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This should remain just for historical purposes. It just highlights the douchiness of some HRC supporters. They are so mired in their own hatred for opposing thought, blind stinking drunk with a mypoic "MY candidate has to win!" mentality that highlights a gross level of immaturity--lacking the ability to self-reflect.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: If you can't explain the offense then there is no offense.
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: This is a tough call because the post is a bit vague; but "makingshitup" seems to be aimed at the OP???
Fwiw, I find the last sentence of the OP and a couple of the other comments in this thread questionable, if not quite bad enough to hide.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
