This eagerness to attack a teenager for no purpose.

I mean, maybe I could understand it if somehow attacking this 18-year old kid could gain 10 points in the polls, but there's nothing to be gained from it. All it does is make us look cruel and vicious, and will almost certainly be counterproductive. What is going on?
