(9,313 posts)I hope Sander's stops taking the bait. I think there are better ways to respond to and deflect the efforts of Clinton and surrogates to put words into his mouth, or twist the things he does say.
I prefer to refrain from criticizing Hillary. Too many take Hillary bashing way too far and I have little desire to join in. But recently she often sounds pretentious, contemptuous, and insinuating. Not her most attractive qualities. I can't help but wonder if she realizes how irritating it is.
I have a feeling it may not "play" well. But who knows. Maybe obnoxious is the new charisma.
What do I know?
