2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThe futher he slips, the more Bernie Sanders sharpens his attacks on Hillary Clinton
Losing some steam in both national and early state polls, Bernie Sanders has gone after Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton a little harder every day this week. Yesterday, he made clear that he will not go quietly and plans to really take the gloves off.
After filing his paperwork to appear on the New Hampshire primary ballot as a Democrat, someone yelled: You ready to kick some Republican butt, Bernie? Sanders yelled back, Theres some earlier butt we have to deal with.
The Posts John Wagner reports from Concord that the remark prompted some nervous laughter in a room packed with reporters and supporters, but it comes as Clintons camp has increasingly tried to suggest that the senator and his team have been treating her in a sexist fashion.
Speaking to the Boston Globe editorial board yesterday, Sanders declared: I disagree with Hillary Clinton on virtually everything. He specifically hit her for the flip-flop on trade and her delay in coming out against the Keystone XL Pipeline: How many years do you have to think about whether or not we excavate and transport the dirtiest fuel in the world? he said, per Annie Linskey. It didnt take me too long to think about that.
In a Wall Street Journal interview the day before, Sanders said the FBI should fully investigate his rivals use of a private e-mail server. Though he declared enough about your damn e-mails during the last debate, the Vermont senator complained to reporter Peter Nicholas: You get 12 seconds to say these things. Theres an investigation going on right now. I did not say, End the investigation. Thats silly.
Let the investigation proceed unimpeded.

(47,803 posts)I suppose he could lie and say: "FBI? What FBI Investgation? Never heard of that."
Maybe he could say: "Stop this investigation of a national security question before it is completed! It's an outrage that the FBI is doing its job! The FBI is just out to embarrass Clinton."
Desperation? No just talking. Expressing an opinion when asked a question. A fairly mild opinion. Last I heard that's still allowed.

Sidenote: Neither of them can stand HRC although they'll probably hold their noses IF the time comes.
In the primary, they will only vote for Sanders. They're sick and tired of the SSDD junk.
