He raises money by talking shit. Tad isn't going to have a job for a while after this so he needs to cash in as much as possible now.

All in one article. Everything we find out in a debate about policies with BS and HRC.

To be fair to Salon and Conor Lynch though, what the Bernie Sanders campaign is trying to do to impugn Clinton's character is but a small section of the playbook Republicans have been throwing at her for years. And that is the best argument for Hillary Clinton's readiness against Republican attacks in the fall.

The fact that despite everything Republicans have thrown at Hillary Clinton for 35 years, she is still the only candidate, Democrat or Republican, with more votes than Donald Trump in this year's primary process (about a million votes at that) while Bernie Sanders is about 1.5 million votes behind The Donald is a testament to Hillary Clinton's toughness in weathering a decades-long Republican smear machine, and it obliterates Bernie's talking point that he is somehow the better candidate to take on Trump in November.

And that is driving Bernie hardliners nuts.

I grant that there is reason for Sanders' media devotees to be concerned about his tone becoming an issue. Because tone is all Bernie Sanders has in this election. A tone of fanning anger, fueling outrage, and peddling a red revolution. A tone impugning Hillary Clinton's character and a tone suggestion that she is bought by moneyed interests. A tone of retribution, not policy fixes. A tone of smug gatekeeping. A tone deafness on race. A tone that is passed onto his supporters who threaten to crack open bloggers' heads, threaten Trump-style riots, harass anyone supporting his opponent, and make jokes about raping Hillary Clinton.

Bernie Sanders doesn't want to debate policy, and his loudest cheerleaders fear nothing more than him having to debate policy. It is when policy is debated that Bernie Sanders is exposed....


And author proceeds everything that is exposed about Sanders in a debate about policies

Do we have to watch him debate Hillary while she sticks to the issues and he accuses her of every fabricated piece of bull shit that the GOP has ever come up with???

People are starting to find his act distasteful.
