Today is the day Bernie Sanders needs to stop going negative on Hillary.

[JaneyVee]

From here on out his campaign should be about building himself up instead of trying to tear her down. Should I start some kind of online petition?

1. it isn't about tearing her down.....it is about influencing policy

[JonLeibowitz]

5. +1. It is about policy and discussing how the candidate approaches the issues.

This isn't really a popularity contest, at least to me.

[CalvinballPro]

13. Well he can influence the policy at the convention. But the attack ads need to stop.

But something tells me that Tad Devine and Jeff Weaver have some kind of score to settle, and they're only going to double-down from now on.

This makes Tad Devine 0-for-5 on winning presidential campaigns on which he has worked. Carter's re-election, Mondale, Dukakis, Kerry, and now Sanders.

[virtualobserver]

18. There is only one way to influence policy at the convention and that is by winning primaries

There is no reason for anyone to back down now.

[JonLeibowitz]

2. The petition is here ----->

3. He needed to go negative from day one like hrc has!

[riversedge]

10. oh for pete's sake. You hve been in your bernie bubble too long

[juxtaposed]

21. Let's leave Pete out of this, I pick my bubbles and I have many I've been in.

[Scootaloo]

4. You really want to talk?

I don't think you have a lot of room to talk, Janey. Seeing as how you sourced Stormfront to attack a jewish candidate for the Democratic party.

[amborin]

7. [phone] plus swiftboating Bernie on his record; lying about his univeral health care, etc....

Bernie never went negative on HIllary and he probably should have; just wait until the republicans do; you have not seen anything yet

[farleftlib]

11. those are the loudest posters tonight

the ones who went completely negative and smeared Sanders with any RW crap they could throw. Now all the sudden they want a hand-off approach to Hillary. Well, the primaries ain't over ....

[Bonobo]

16. Things that make you go Hmmmm... nt

[choie]

22. I'm afraid to click on that link

But is that really true Scootaloo?

[riversedge]

6. He is in AZ at a rally--might be over by now

[Broward]

8. I don't think Bernie needs to start taking advice from Conservadems.

[jillan]

9. Today is the day Hillary needs to win my vote

[riversedge]

19. Try really listening to her speechs. She gives lots of

policy information--the details of her plans. Good place to start IMHO

[choie]

25. And when she's elected

She'll do the complete opposite. She can't be trusted. That hasn't and won't change.

[cherokeeprogressive]

12. Fuck that. Get out the flamethrower. And... you go right ahead.

[Lizzie Poppet]

31. ^ This.

I swear I popped in to be congratulatory...and the avalanche of smug, gloating, condescending horseshit hit me like like a sewage tsunami. Fuck this...scorched earth time.

I wonder if I can get banned or just on a 90-day time out?

[Bjorn Against]

14. After spending most the primary season tearing down Bernie and his supporters...

I don't think you are going to have much credibility in calling for people to play nice.

The nasty tactics of the Clinton campaign have alienated many of us and we are not about to pretend that Clinton is suddenly acceptable. If the Clinton campaign wanted our votes in the general they should not have spent the primary season attacking us.

[Shadowflash]

28. Yup.

nt.

[oasis]

15. Today is SUPER TUESDAY.

[gcomeau]

17. Translation: stop describing her positions

[Jitter65]

20. But he won't. Judging from some of the nasty comments here his supporters won't let him. nt

[Kalidurga]

23. He hasn't gone negative enough

That could change though...

[TheCowsCameHome]

24. Boot some more out of your HRC group, why don't ya.

That'll encourage harmony and build support.

[snowy owl]

26. He has not been negative on Clinton.

You must be an emotional voter. He's stuck to issues. Period. Can you name one thing he has said about Cllinton that is untrue? No nuance. No lies. Just issues. Not so with her. You should know that if you voted for her. You should know the difference between issues and innuendo and personal attacks.

He should and he will continue to call her out to keep her honest. Your job as her supporter will be to make sure she keets her newly articulated promises.

[Sunsky]

27. I agree

Time for us to unite.

[Carolina]

29. Boy, are you projecting

HRC is the shit slinger but she will meet her match in the general against repukes and Trump... 20+ years of her lies, pandering, flip-flopping all on the web/YouTube ready for GOP campaign ads. Think Benghazi and emails on steroids.

Her own words will destroy her and rightfully so.

[ibegurpard]

30. Hillary destroys herself

She doesn't need anyone else's help. And she drags the party down with her.

[bigtree]

32. I agree strongly
