Clinton camp plans to roll out Washington Post's anti-Sanders editorial

[Qutzupalotl]

DES MOINES, Iowa — One scathing newspaper editorial is worth a thousand of a candidate’s own words.

That’s the bet Hillary Clinton is making. While she has dropped direct attacks on Bernie Sanders from her stump speech, her campaign is planning to reprint a withering Washington Post editorial that accuses Sanders of running a “fiction-filled campaign” and distribute it to voters in New Hampshire ahead of the Feb. 9 primary.

The plan, an inside source said, is to have volunteers pass out reprints of the editorial and let the newspaper make the case against Sanders, with no commentary necessary from the campaign.

...

But by reprinting the Post’s takedown of Sanders, the campaign has cover for spreading attack literature while simultaneousely expressing its disappointment at Sanders’ attack strategy.

There was a trending topic on Facebook about this yesterday. The comments were almost 100% against Clinton.

1. I think this will backfire.

Basically calling New Hampshire voters fools for believing Sanders.
