Campaign with outstanding lawsuit against the DNC tells Clinton not to destroy the Democratic Party

Denise C. ?@HawaiiDelilah 10h10 hours ago
Sanders' campaign manager Weaver has audacity to tell Clinton not to destroy the Democratic Party. My irony meter is exploding.




David Chalian @DavidChalian
Weaver to Team Clinton: "Don’t destroy the Democratic Party to satisfy the Secretary’s ambition to become President of the United States."

D-E-L-U-S-I-O-N-A-L.

His supporters do not deny it. It shows a lot about his character and his INTENTIONS. Running as a Dem so he could get exposure, only to do everything you can to tear it down. While he is tearing it down he plans on playing the victim! That rich.

and had the same reaction. For a campaign that has a platform that actually includes trashing Democrats his comment is a stunning example of projection.

Of course, what is really going on is fear that HRC will come after Sanders in the same ways he has been attacking her. And, that will hurt him badly. Especially since his image is based on him being pure and pristine which he is decidedly not. The hypocrisy has been a wonder to behold and is not fooling the Dems one bit. That is why Hillary is winning with them and Sanders cannot even get an endorsement. They are laughing at Weaver's comment.

Hillary and Dems (and Republicans, for that matter) have held their fire on the particulars of vetting St. Bernie, but she is letting them know that she isn't going to tolerate the constant attacks on her character unanswered. Weaver hopes that by hiding behind the skirts of the Party he has been trashing, he can avoid the incoming.

Do it already. There is nothing there. He is actually an honest person. It's funny how that just doesn't sink in with HRC supporters.

And Bernie's campaign has been spreading dishonest junk for a few months now.
In his defense, I think he was talked into it, but it is not good strategy.

Bernie Sanders' deceitful intentions. His supporters don't want to play fair, they want to cheat their way to the White House because they think they know what is right for the world and they are the only ones with the right answer. What does that say? They're no better than the Tea Party and should be treated as such.
