And "disqualify, defeat and unify" has been all over the news media ever since.

New York (CNN)Hillary Clinton's campaign is taking new steps to try and disqualify Bernie Sanders in the eyes of Democratic voters, hoping to extinguish the argument that he is an electable alternative for the party's presidential nomination.

As Sanders took a victory lap following a 14-point triumph in Wisconsin, Clinton took fresh aim at the Vermont senator as part of a three-part strategy before the New York primary on April 19: Disqualify him, defeat him, and unify the party later.

They have deliberately set out to divide Democrats in an effort to defeat Sanders and even if she succeeds in getting the nomination they may have killed her own chances in November.

That is fucking hilarious.

As you whine about all manner of nothing, in an endless stream of silly OPs ... I'm counting delegates.

Tell me again who has a "sad".

Clinton vs. Trump seems to be where we're heading. We, the people let the country get to the point where a "play it safe" moderate vs. an insane person is our only choice.
