81. 1. He promised not to go negative. Supporting the GOP witch hunt is as negative as you can get.

2. He supports the present GOP initiated and GOP-led investigation of Banghazi that has proved to be entirely political.

3. He reneged on his promise not to go negative, he is giving aid and support to the enemy, flip-flopped following a very well-received "we're tired of the emails" statement. Or else he made that statement to draw further attention to the issues, which would be worse.
