This is a question every Bernie Sanders supporter must answer

"Bernie Sanders is currently the beneficiary of an anti-Hillary Clinton ratfucking assault that would make Donald Segretti cringe. How can you possibly say he has clean hands in this matter?"

but it's difficult to see how Republican attacks on Clinton implicate Sanders.

You have not intention (or quite possibly no ability) to engage in meaningful dialogue, you just enjoy throwing feces.

A democratic SuperPac and one 501 organization are working on Sander's behalf as is Moveon.org. The SuperPac is financing ground operations in New Hampdhire the same way it did in Iowa. Sanders has to be aware of that support, but claims to not have "establishment" support.

One is that Sanders is a savant - someone so focused on one or two things he ignores the rest of the world around him. This is highly possible...watch the debates and you'll see he's a fish out of water until the subject turns to either economics (specifically big banks) or income inequality.

The other is for whatever reason, his handlers are keeping things from him. Maybe he gets so pissed when he learns things are going badly his staff is afraid of him.

Either way, this opens the door to another Reagan-style presidency...not the "tax cut and spend" Reagan presidency but the "let's arm our worst enemy but not tell the boss" one. (It also opens the door to another Reagan-style presidency because all hundred and fifty Republican candidates consider Ronnie their patron saint, and any of them can trounce Sanders over Bernie's "yes, new taxes" campaign platform.)

we get indignation and a threat to sue the DNC. It was then when Bernie should've fired him. He didn't, thus, he agrees, thus, his hands are FAR from clean.
