No matter how much Hillary or Bernie are criticized here...

...it will be nowhere close to what either of them will receive when the Republicans begin their personal attacks. But you know that already. Right??

So, if you wish to attack Bernie, go ahead. In my opinion, it is only a warm-up until the main event.

We may have to settle for a Hillary/Bernie ticket?

attacking the candidates we oppose, if we feel we must attack, instead of their supporters?

Do we have to call DUers we disagree with "fools," "boors," etc., or is it possible to express disagreement with substance instead of personal attacks?

My skin is plenty thick. I just find it embarrassing to see what should be well-crafted argument supported by evidence devolve into that shit.
