I can't honestly see a reason why Hillary would need to

[upaloopa]

attack Sanders. Biden isn't even running and his support is equal to Sanders. I don't think he will run and his support comes at the expense of Hillary. Without polls giving Biden a chunk of her support she is over 50% and will continue to lead as she has done since the beginning of the campaign.
Sanders support has been around 25% for months. I think he has peaked.
Hillary gets nothing but negative press. That isn't because the MSM thinks Bernie should be President. It is because they want a horse race with whom ever is driving the clown car. There is no horse race between Bernie and Hillary which is the reason she doesn't need to nor will she attack him.

1. Biden is far better known than Bernie for the obvious reasons.

The more people hear from and about Bernie, the better he will do.

Unless people have to deal with some of his supporters, then who knows.

2. You are correct.

12. I see you fled from your op which used racist froma harrop to smear bernie

[nichomachus]

3. She doesn't need to

It's just what the Clintons do. They can't help themselves. They go dirty when they don't have to. Just as they can't stop giving people reasons to investigate them. It's almost a self-sabotage thing.

5. Well you know as well as I the outcome of the

investigations. And you know as well as I why there are investigations and it isn't because of anything the Clinton's are doing. Rather it is the opposition's need to hobble them any way they can.

4. There are some Sanders supporters who are upset that he is being ignored by Clinton

This is one of my favorite threads http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251601526 There is no need for Hillary Clinton to go negative on Sanders

[taught_me_patience]

6. Which is why she's ignoring him in Iowa

Which is driving the Bernie supporters mad:

because they are desperate to be mad about something she says:

7. Too late. She already broke her promise

and attacked Sanders via Twitter today.

9. Oh? Being disingenuous when she knew of Bernie's plan and how he intends to pay for it.

And asks him again - HOW is he going to pay for it. Carrying water for Wall Street.

11. How did she attack Sanders on twitter today? nt

13. Biden didn't want to run

BUT, his potential decision to run is a trial balloon being floated up in the event that Hillary's campaign runs into serious problems, because they have to make sure that somebody like Sanders or O'Malley, i.e. a non-establishment candidate doesn't get the nomination.

That isn't even cynicism - that's plain reality.

14. guess that's why she hasn't.

15. HCR does not need to attack Bernie,

because he does not attack her either.

Since she is going to win anyway, in your
opinion, the surrogates, especially the
ones showing their racist tendencies,
can stop attacking as well.
