Reply #45: The problem I see is that

[Occam Bandage]

the complaint most frequently heard about Clinton's attacks is that they are ineffective towards her goal of winning the nomination (as they tend to drive her negatives upward more sharply than his), but that they are still damaging towards his image and campaign, especially as regards the general election.

I'm guessing you generally remain in pro-Clinton circles, where only the first half of that complaint is heard--and where discussion of her negatives is generally dismissed, leaving only the rather strange half-complaint you have written as the second sentence. Perhaps you are a campaign staffer of some sort?
