20. Bernie supporters should be prepare for a Clinton shitstorm

I totally agree with your assessment. If people thought the primary season has been crazy, vitriolic and divisive--it's nothing compared to the hellfire that is coming.

We know what Hillary does when she's having trouble. She gets Rovian. I've seen in here in Iowa with Obama. No action is too low, no lie is too outrageous.

And she'll most likely engage surrogates to carry some pretty vile, awful messages.

The good news is that in Iowa, people don't like this. We are trying to make up our mind about who is best to represent our Democratic party. We take our first-in-the-nation vote very seriously. Many Iowans have only recently started to tune in. If Hillary emerges as a vicious attack dog who calls names and treats Bernie unfairly, this will backfire, I guarantee it. It backfired in 08.

Furthermore, Bernie is a ruthless campaigner; a smart campaigner. He will fight back with everything he has, and I'm sure he's anticipating Hillary's moves and he'll have a few tricks up his sleeve. Obama did not fight back against her as hard as he should have, in my opinion. And still, he deflected her crap. She tends to be her own worst enemy in these situations, failing to realize that people see that she is behaving out of desperation and vulnerability. This only makes her look weak, further decimating her "I'm inevitable" meme.

And at this point, she's staring down the barrel of a possible Iowa loss for the second time.

Gird your loins people. Expect Clinton to go nuclear.
