Lee Atwater style tactics .....and within her campaign are Right Wing advisors that promote these attics and they are acceptable to her and her supporters.

the more she gets of it RIGHT BACK AT HER. it's like the Henry Kissinger thing - she brought it up as a brag & it's come back to bite her. Steinem, Albright, Capehart, even poor John Lewis.

Bernie has inspired us. And because of that we are willing to find for him and his message that it takes all of us to work together to make a difference. He's a good, honest, authentic politician. He's made us aware and made us believe that it doesn't have to stay the status quo. We're fighting back, dispelling every smear attempt thrown Bernie's way. We have the social media advantage. No sooner does the Clinton campaign throw something ridiculous out there, like Bernie takes Wall Street money, than we are there to push back with the truth, exposing them for their lies.

His strengths are her weaknesses. So when they attack his strengths, it keeps backfiring because it draws attention to her problems. Like the photo - it drew more attention to his history of civil rights activism, while at the same time bringing up what she was doing at the time (fighting for republicans).
