Really? Hillary is "one of us" and (Senator Sanders is "not one of us" ? Exactly what does that mean?
We just elected a Democratic Governor in the deep, deep red Louisiana. Saying Governor Edwards was "not one of us" was the main campaign theme (losing) of the GOP and his Republican opponents. So you think it will work here? For all Hillary supporters to huddle together and say that Sanders supporters are "not one of us"?
I would vote for Hillary, but I am certainly not "one of us" with your gang. You lose votes every time you smear others. Only the faithful respond to that, and they are already committed.

Yes, he broke his word not to campaign negatively, indicating he was the untrustworthy one, not she.
