Controlling the conversation

I've noticed that a lot of people are doubling down hard using the words 'theft, stole, cheated,' etc around the DNC data thing. It's a bad idea to take the bait - it forces the conversation to be about Senator Sanders character. It's such a Rovian tactic - to attack someone where they're strength - and Sen. Sander's strength is certainly his ethics and trustworthiness.

I'd suggest ignoring that nonsense and not let it become a topic of debate. Or change the topic, or lol. I noticed that lol has a great affect when the conversation gets stupid
