The establishment strikes back: Clinton's Hill supporters ready to hit Sanders after New Hampshire


Clinton's Hill supporters ready to hit Sanders after New Hampshire

(CNN)Hillary Clinton's supporters on Capitol Hill are bracing for a win by Bernie Sanders in the New Hampshire primary Tuesday, but warn the Vermont senator will face increased scrutiny in the next phase of the campaign.

"I think when someone starts to look into Bernie Sanders' record, sure, things change. I think that hasn't happened," Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, a Clinton backer, told CNN.

And it could be that people will start to wonder about Hillary's ability to win and start to desert the sinking ship.

They argue that Hillary is just as liberal as he is, or even more liberal on certain issues, but then argue that he's too liberal. How does that make sense?

I don't think the Democrats understand exactly how far they've fallen away from the people. DiFi is bashing Bernie for raising her taxes so that kids can go to college and get a better start on their lives. How dare he? Meanwhile, no one should care that her husband's firm got a $1 billion government contract. (One amongst many of course.)

here is ry, they better not start cutting down one or the other, because who ever they are left with is a damaged person at that point. Not a good thing if you want Dems to win.
I realize how no one was supposed to oppose Clinton, but that is silly, so now it is all out war, that won't do democrats any good.

It is the Weird Mrror Phenomenon.
Listen how, in detractors' efforts to vilify Bernie, they invariably give us a good description of themselves: character, values, even their secrets:, their dishonest tactics, all of it.
Like Bill trying to paint Bernie as less-than-respectful toward women.

Listen to what's said about him in coming weeks. Incredibly revealing.
