Hillary Clinton’s proxies ramp up attacks against Sanders
By ANNIE KARNI
Stumping for Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire, a trip partly paid by Clinton's campaign, Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy did more than defend the former secretary of State's email use -- he criticized Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ record on guns.
In Des Moines the same week, Texas Rep. Joaquin Castro, whose travel expenses were paid for by the Clinton campaign, knocked Sanders for a lack of outreach to Latinos.
And Thursday, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has endorsed Clinton, drew another unflattering contrast between the top Democrats in the race. “I don’t think there’s any comparison between Hillary Clinton’s credentials and qualifications and positions, and Bernie Sanders,” Cuomo told reporters. “I do not see that as a close call.”
Clinton’s campaign, it appears, is unleashing the hounds. While the wounded front-runner is ignoring her competition in the primary race altogether -- she still does not utter Sanders’ name on the campaign trail – Brooklyn is paying the travel costs for proxies who are using their appearances in the early-voting states to criticize the surging senator.
…
In Sanders’ inner circle, the attacks are seen as a sign of Clinton's weakness. “Secretary Clinton’s campaign is getting a little nervous and sending out these surrogates from the establishment to say things about Bernie, but Bernie is determined to keep the campaign focused on the issues,” said Sanders’ spokesman Michael Briggs.

But definitely like the upward mobility Bernie is getting. Feeling so good about this I might have to go make another contribution to Bernie's campaign! 
Stock-market commercials disclaim: past performance is not a guarantee of future results. I think that disclaimer fits well when talking about situations like this. Its a good argument for more volunteers and donations. 
…and this is a state where she is actively campaigning and working hard to win the Iowa caucuses--which are the first votes cast in the country.
I've seen her use surrogates before, and that is typical.
I remember in December 07, when the caucus campaigning was in full swing--Bob Kerrey had endorsed Hillary Clinton and he referred to Obama as "Barack Hussein Obama". Obama was gaining in the polls and Clinton was slipping. This was a very deliberate attack. At the time, Republicans were in a tizzy over Obama's middle name and they were suggesting that he was a covert Muslim.
Kerrey's remarks were deliberate and they came at a time when Hillary was slipping in the polls, especially in Iowa.
Also during the same time period (a month before the Iowa caucuses) one of Hillary's campaign strategists also made a remark about Obama's past cocaine abuse--thereby dumping more innuendo and gossip onto Obama's campaign.
This is what she does. She's done it before. She'll do it again.
On a positive note, she only employs this passive-aggressive baloney when her campaign is in trouble. 
She's trying to tap into the group Bernie Sanders has already appealed to. But she seems to want to be able to attack Bernie as well, so she has her surrogates do it for her. She wants her cake, and to eat it too.
Oddly enough, this trend just means things are looking up! 
She'll have the best Dem campaign organization money can buy.
But Bernie's campaign has the best candidate. Whom money can't buy.
hard-working white people remark came out of her own mouth.
Bernie said, "I've never run a negative campaign in my life and I don't intend to start now" or words to that effect.
Bubba said that Americans don't like negative campaigning, but sometimes reward it. The way to have it both ways is to leave the negative and "tinged" campaigning to surrogates and hope American voters don't catch on. Obama was the son of a woman whose ancestors stretched back to the Mayflower and a Kenyan Muslim with several wives. We saw what happened to those things in the 2008 campaign.
Bernie is a liberal, non-religious Jew whose relatives died in the Holocaust, who once applied for conscientious objector status and who is rated D-to F by the NRA and who moved from diverse Brooklyn to not so diverse Vermont in the days of peace-loving hippie communes. . http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/clinton/etc/draftletter.html And we've already been seeing what's happening with each of those things
Oh, and let's not forget slut shaming: Bernie had a child out of wedlock whom he raised. Here they are at a meeting of an alternative newspaper. Guess Bernie couldn't afford much in the way of child care back then.
Bernie never refers to his biological son any differently than he refers to his wife's children; i.e., "I have four beautiful children and seven beautiful grandchildren."
Evil, evil, man--but, still, he's a saint compared to his millions of unacceptable fellow travelers supporters. 
It's like I'm in Arkansas in the 1940s and 1950s, watching the McCarthy hearings on TV during the week and good ole boys Jerry Falwell and Oral Roberts on Sundays.
are on alert,I expect many posts to be hidden.I have seen the holier then thous coming out on DU,.Attacking and twisting words to their advantage.They are harming their candidate rather then having conversations.
manipulation and lack of being straightforward. At this point I am so disgusted already I could
