Suddenly, a screen shot of 1 Sanders volunteer (not campaign's) talking points gets leaked to the press (which by the way the Sanders Campaign removed, and told the volunteer they could not use or distribute), and then the Warren campaign leaks a story about how Bernie says a woman can't be elected.
