(145,185 posts)That same complaint is being made by others at to the Clinton campaign who are claiming that Clinton is engaging in scorched earth tactics. I live in a very red state where I have seen what the GOP, the Kochs, Karl Rove and the RNC candidate (hopefully Trump) would do to Sanders if he was the nominee. I am amazed that people think that people are claiming nasty and unfair attacks against Sanders and his supporters when the stuff that I have seen has been mild compared to what Sanders would face if he was the nominee.
Rove, Ricketts and Future 45 have been busy running ads to help Sanders in the primary process and to attack Clinton. So far these ads may be helping Sanders but Clinton is still winning despite the best efforts of the GOP, Rove and others to help Sanders. Based on the current probabilities on the Predictive markets and the analysis of Nate Silver's website, it appears very unlikely that Sanders will be the subject to the same level of attacks by the Kochs, Rove, the GOP and Trump that Clinton has been subject to for some time;
Support the candidate of your choice. I will support the candidate of my choice. I am fully prepared to see what the GOP will throw at Clinton because I have seen these attacks for a couple of decades.
