He's winning people over IMO because he mainly criticizes Republicans and that's what most Dems like

Bernie is rarely negative about Hillary

But so many of Bernie's DU supporters think they will win the primary by going negative against Hillary instead of going negative against Republicans

I don't think Bernie thinks that's a winning strategy. I don't know why Bernie's DU supporters don't follow his lead

So what would be an allowable question we could ask Hillary then?

"go negative" against Hillary in an attempt to win the primary. I'm not even sure what you mean by that.

I've been dismayed and unhappy with Hillary's policies for about ten years. Even before the Obama/Hillary 08 showdown.

Criticizing Hillary and being unhappy with her policy stances did not start when Bernie decided to run for President, I can assure you.

I've been unhappy with her policies and votes for more than a decade. I've spoken out against Hillary and plenty of other politicians that I thought were misguided and bad for this country.

And guess what...I'm entitled to my opinion.

Hillary already meets Bernie's standards and that's a bad thing, and there's more then one of her which would really be a bad thing.
