1. If they attack other DEMOCRATS that would be bad

but they can attack a certain INDEPENDENT who runs as a DEMOCRAT only when it suits his own interest all they want.

I'm a member of the democratic democratic party. and don't really cotton to outsiders trying to hijack my party for their own ends.

8. It's not so much....

It's not so much the habitual attacking of primary opponents.

It's the habitual attacking of actual candidates in the general election after their candidate lost the primary. It's also more about lying that you aren't working for a campaign, pretending to be an independent reporter, while actually working for them.

It's about being caustic to this party. It's about being scorched earth.

Like staff, like candidate.
