(11,175 posts)I'm guessing that you believe that a Clinton nomination is somewhere on the range of highly likely to inevitable. If she is nominated, you will then want people who supported other candidates to give their votes, their volunteer time, and their money to Clinton.
Do you think that childish attacks like this one make that post-Convention unity more likely, or less likely?
See, I think it's pretty clear that the net effect would be to make support for Clinton less likely. The silver lining is that the net effect, although adverse, would be very small, because there's been so much of this snarling already that nobody will be much affected by one more nasty post. Still, if the best that can be said for a post is that it will be widely ignored, maybe you should rethink.
