Imagine if Hillarys and her supporters demanded sanders be vetted

[beachbumbob]

By all major media outlets...demand full disclosure of his socialist past...all the people he pal around with, public investigation into Jane sanders....investigation into sanders nepotism....investigations into the people and groups who have supported him in the past...can you imagine how Bernie and his people would react?

1. The reaction would be excessive

8. lol nt

2. They would just call it all another conspiracy. People over 50 remember "socialism" for starters.

[Her Sister]

3. They would call it an "Inquisition"

[BootinUp]

9. How dare they ask tough questions of the candidate like that! lol.

12. That "gotcha" media again.

I don't know what 9 in the morning had to do with anything. Was it too early for him?

4. I think that was her biggest mistake...to not demand numbers supporting his fanciful plans,

particularly for healthcare and free public tuition. Once taxpayers saw how much those programs would cost them, it would have made a huge difference. Even more if she had pushed for a timeline. That was something she could have done without it looking at all 'personal', the way the GOP would have attacked him if the had ever been the Democratic frontrunner.

5. Nah, the current strategy worked quite well.

I think she knew what she was doing. In the meantime, she's saved some money and is preparing for the GE. I think she didn't go fully negative because she knew that she didn't really need to.

Her campaign also may not have expected Sanders to go full-conspiracy theorist quite this quickly. Not sure there's really much they can do about it other than refute the nonsense and wait for it to bern out. Either way, it's over in a couple weeks and she can move on.

6. I agree with you, but it would have been nice to dispense with Sanders earlier in the process.

You're right though, there was no way to know that Sanders would totally lose it as his campaign crumbled around him.

[TwilightZone]

7. Agreed. We could have done without the nonsense of the last month.

Both as a party and Hillary as a candidate. A little more aggressive strategy might have precluded that, but it's hard to tell in hindsight.

[wysi]

10. We ought to vet him by running a Democrat against him in 2018

And we can use all the dirt that Hillary hasn't used in the primary to take him down. Karma time, Senator.

13. Sanders career is pretty much over

[DemonGoddess]

11. heh

Screaming inquisition would be just the start.
