4. After all the insulting crap President Obama had hurled at him

After all the insulting crap President Obama had hurled at him, and which we helped repel, to have his former Chief of Staff engage in attempting to smear Senator Sanders using the same technique is just so very wrong, on several levels.

This is an example of our party's establishment trying to undermine democracy. This isn't about having an opinion, it's about beating down a Progressive upheaval that will eat into their bottom line.

Our party has become undermined by those with Wall Street, banking, and big money, connections who can talk a good game. If it doesn't seriously affect their friends cash, and we want it, then they're for it. Unless it doesn't poll well, then we have to wait for them to evolve on the issue.
