2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumA Rethug Fox news commentator wrote "We are Witnessing the End of the House of Clinton."
When Bernie Sanders's spokesman yesterday asked his supporters to treat Hillary Clinton with respect, he didn't mean for them to publicize hit pieces on her written by Rethugs.

(45,251 posts)Of course, the author of the article, whom you described only as a Rethug from Fox, was also a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives. I very much doubt Senator Sanders thinks people on a political message board should not be able to post an article written by a member of Congress for discussion. That would be you.
Whether my view of Senator Sanders wishes is correct or not, you should not try to put words in the mouth of Senator Sanders or try to use him as tool to accomplish an agenda that you want for this message board.

(5,856 posts)please, for the love of God, REFUTE what is being written! If there is ever a criticism of Bernie, there are at least a few people responding to the attack with some sort of explanation or refutation of the presumable offense. It is rare that I see the same of Clinton supporters. They attack the messenger as if that addresses the points presented. Or they will claim "it is such a lie, it is not worth my time addressing". Okay, but the "lie" is still out there folks....just saying

(108,959 posts)Diatribes like that shouldn't be posted here, even just to argue with.
But when the 2nd item applauds Trump for calling Hillary an "enabler," it is obviously a Rethug hit piece -- even before you see the name of the person who wrote it.

If I read something that seems truthful, I`ll agree, no matter who wrote it. If I hear something that is truthful, I`ll agree, not matter who said it.

(7,830 posts)They should be mad the party has pushed this incredibly flawed candidate, giving the rethugs the rare privilege of not having to make things up.

(108,959 posts)No Democrat should be posting this crap.
pnwmom
(108,959 posts)to highlight it here with another link.
But, to give you the flavor of the piece, the 1st item claims to smell the "stench of political death" and the second applauds Trump for calling Hillary an enabler in Bill's "sexual shenanigans."

(108,959 posts)Hillary always has been.
Do you think Hillary's supporters should join in by passing around anti-Bernie Rethug screeds?
