(4,960 posts)Read my post about Clinton tactics sending her caucus people over to O'Malley as long as it doesn't hurt her but blocks Sanders.
In 2008 she screamed how dare they when it appeared it was an agreement between Richardson and Obama to do it to her.
This time, it's been confirmed that Clinton is training her people to do it - but that there is no agreement from the O'Malley people. Thank you for trying to run an honest campaign. Too bad Clinton will be using O'Malley for her dishonest one.

(85,998 posts)...nothing new there, except, perhaps, the 'new app' Clinton supporters will use to monitor their risk in trading delegates and such.
Sanders folks are free to use the same tactics with O'Malley's supporters to try and gain some advantage, as well. I can't imagine they'll shy away from that, especially if a tight contest develops.
But if either camp is ahead, or, for that matter, behind, why risk trading off your own support? It doesn't make much sense to me.
