He also appointed Republicans but campaigned against Republicans. Does that negate them as liars too?

The sheer improbability of the thing is striking, too, of course. All the happy-pappy posturing of the general election—the emphatic endorsements, the labored “unity” in Denver, the energetic stumping by Hillary for Barack, the two-way tongue bath between 42 and the soon-to-be 44 at a rally in Florida in the campaign’s final week—did little to alleviate the bedrock enmity between the two sides. The Clintons continued to regard Obama as a featherweight, a phony, a usurper. Obama neither liked nor trusted nor thought he needed Hill or Bill; he bridled at their apparent insistence that he kiss their rings.

Hillary's knocks on Sanders will be quickly rescinded once the primary is over...because she is a seasoned politician and knows how these cycles play out. My guess is that Sanders will not be as gracious, since - as the debate showed last night - the heat of the process is really getting under his skin.

Every candidate says nasty stuff about the other candidate. Doesn't matter if its in the Democratic or Republican parties. There is always a vast difference between the campaigner and the elected official. Every single one. Obama the Campaigner is wholly a different person from Obama the President. This is also true of both Bushes, Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan. Basically, for most of America's history, this is true of every candidate for every office.

This is negative FUD. (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) and its part and parcel of all political campaigns.

I respect Bernie for, largely, staying away from negative campaigning. Pity his supporters don't.

all these years later? This would be a great retro ad for Bernie to use. Sadly, nothing has changed with Hillary that makes the ad out of date.
