It's not John Lewis or Dolores Huertas that you attack.

Attack Hillary or don't attack.

no matter how much they lie.

She's a great mom and has done great things, but if she gets wasted and nearly burns down the house, a critique of her behavior may be necessary. Past behavior isn't a CYA. As for the alienating minorities, as every mother since the beginning of time has said, "I love you; I don't like what you're doing."

That's one of the things that has made him an exceptional candidate (literally) in campaign after campaign. He runs a positive campaign and trusts the public to see through the garbage. I hope he continues to do so. The minute his campaign diverts into attacking, particularly anything beyond policy criticism, is the minute that, for many, he's just another politician.
