Related: About this forumBernie defended Hillary on national TV against false scandal
So I ask Hillary supporters, why not return the favor?
Why not choose to be decent about it, and speak out against it? Why not call out the false scandal and suggest that our candidates compete on ISSUES fair and square?
Like Bernie did for your candidate.

Clearly Bernie thinks it's a big deal.

(22,271 posts)I've seen 2 Hillary supporters claim this is just like Watergate. This kind of lowball campaigning comes from the top.

(53,056 posts)No. In fact we were told it made her unfit to be president. That continued even after Bernie's comments in the first debate.
What Sanders did was say during a debate, after months of media coverage, that people were tired of hearing about the emails. Now, the day after a scandal breaks, you want her to sweep in and save him.

(4,822 posts)Look how long it took the Republicans and media going after Hillary bout the emails before Bernie said what he said, which I never believed was in defense of her anyway but a loopy attempt to rub it in that failed.

(1,252 posts)We all know. Come one. This is classic set up but the people trust Bernie. They don't trust Hillary. All this does is give us the perception that Hill=DWS=DNC=Vendor=Set Up. I believe and I am entitled to this so before you flag my post - it is my opinion...HRC=Nixon.
