33. According to media, yes, that did come from the Hillary campaign.

Not directly from the campaign to me, of course. Broch and Mook stopped calling me a few months ago. No clue why. Fickle, I guess.

Why? Doesn't that sound to you like something from a Clinton campaign? Does to me. Also seems to be an accurate description of the tactics I saw in 2008 and have been seeing in 2016. (Remind me what P.U.M.A. stood for?)

BTW, since when did the standard for posting someone about a campaign on DU become that the poster had to have heard it directly from the campaign? Cause I'm pretty sure a lot of crap that gets posted here about Bernie and his campaign did not come from either of them. In fact, a lot of it seems to have come starigh tof of a poster's ear.

ETA: my bad. The words I thought I recalled was disqualify and defeat, not discredit and destroy. But, I think the meanings are close.
